"The kids that need the most love will often
ask for it in the most unloving of ways." Beautiful reminder
A few months ago in the craziness of packing I found my breaking point.
So I did the only logical thing I could think of...I checked myself into a hotel
with a 1/2 gallon of ice cream and a power of mom podcast my older sister
sent me.
I don't think Kyler believed me when I put our sweet babies to bed and told him I was outta' here! Lets just say I am glad I married up ;)
My sister Kori had been telling me about the power of moms website for months... just like my older sister Ginny a few years before tried to introduce me to my now bff... pinterest. I brushed them both off only to later call them and ask them why oh why hadn't they told me sooner!?! ;) I mean c'mon. The real question is why do I ever think it is a good idea to resist some good sound advice, especially from an older sister!?
And this my friends is good advice! www.powerofmoms.com I find the site a bit hard to naviagate so often make a b line straight to the podcast...It makes cleaning my kitchen less daunting when I have April and Saren talking to me. ; )
Life changing! both of them....
I want to be a deliberate mother.
last night I was worn out.
Utterly Exhausted...
And a bit dramatic and said to no one.
"This isn't my job!" and the voice came to my mind "ya it is."
And I smiled and went to bed....leaving a weeks worth of laundry and a pile of dishes behind...taking comfort they would still be there in the morning...and they are.
because they are mine and I am theirs and and I want to do better. I am so happy/relieved to have found some wonderful tools and resources to make my job simpler.
Actually can I get a heck ya for anything that makes life as a Mother simpler!!
After all they are all I have ever wanted. I want to thrive in this role!
Parenting a toddlers especially one that has lots of little extras is not the easiest
thing I have ever done......not at all.I am the first to admit I have know idea what I am doing!
I am so grateful to have be associated with those of you that do!
I especially loved this one on positive parenting.
and this one on bringing back your mojo...love
and the most important 9 minutes of the day... so simple!!
Life changing! Truly.
