To Pass The Time & A Thank You!

I've been trying to reflect back on the days I could blog with much ease and wonder why it's almost impossible to do in the present moment. All I could come up with is that I have a baby that requires time and attention during his every waking minute of every single day (and I love making him smile and laugh & watching him explore and learn) and a toddler that requires entertainment as well as help remembering to try and go potty every 30 minutes or so during her every waking minute of every single day (and cuddling together in a chair reading stories & watching movies) and an almost tween that requires getting to and from school, help with homework and being chauffeured to and from sports & recreation events (and helping me in the kitchen & working on crafts and school projects). And all the in between stuff like cooking, cleaning and making sure our family is healthy and happy. I know every mother out there knows EXACTLY what I'm talking about. Lots to do. But out of love! Needing an extra hour tacked to the day to get more done sounds wishful at times but I enjoy the 24 hours I already have and don't want anymore to do than I already have committed myself to. I love my life as a mom and wife and I wouldn't change it for the world. THEY are my priority. Whenever I feel like I'm mastering balance, it then seems my balance needs to be recreated. This is especially true after having another baby. Things change and you have to move along with it. I had a thought: "As soon as this potty training is mastered, I'll have a little more free time." WHO am I kidding?? When that time rolls around, which will be soon, I'll then have a crawler and a runner. I am only speaking the truth here and surely not complaining in the slightest. This blog is something I created for my family - to document and share our life stories. It's a priority too - at a different level - and not something I need to stress over. In due time, I'll hopefully be caught up.

I'm grateful for those of you that enjoy my posts, stories, pictures, feelings, adventures, etc. Thank you for still holding out hope for me to continue writing. While they may be scarce at times, the posts will still go on. Just when the time is right for me. So until I get more time to type out some more stories, I thought I'd pass on this cute green apple stationary printable note set from Creature Comforts. (Click on the blog name for the download. SOOO cute!) ENJOY! :)
