BUBBLES and MORE

of nothing really exciting going on at our house. Lately though in my desire to be a better Mom I am trying to be more excited about the little things. I am trying ever so hard to have more patience and appreciate the little moments that seem mundane but that I would miss terribly if I no longer got to experience them. Today I was childless in RS and I actually missed being tugged at and played with during the lesson. I realized this as the baby sitting on her Moms lap next to me kept tugging at my shirt and would not leave it alone. I realized I take a lot of little moments for granted and soon they will be gone. When I have complained about it lately that seems to be the response I get over and over and so I am choosing to take the advice given and try to enjoy the little things.

Thank you for reminding me to enjoy the "little" things in life and with my children. I am in the same boat - while some days those "little" things may annoy me, I know that I will MISS them terribly when they are gone. So thank you and keep up the great work! Muah!!

Oh I have the perfect little story you have to read sometime. It makes me cry every time. I LOVE Sissy's face peeking around the corner. Oh my gosh, I just wanna pick her up and squeeze her.

The little things are so wonderful! Your pics & layouts are so CUTE! When you finally don't have any babies on your lap in church, it's like you don't know what to do with your hands! LOL

I think you are a terrific mom and I think it's great that you're taking the time to relish in the little things because in the end, those are what matter most!
