Hold the Moments

Motherhood can be so hard. It can be chaotic and stressful and lonely. Some days we wake up and have to pour ourselves out before we are able to be poured into. Some days we are asked to give from an empty cup. Some days that gets the best of me and I am not the best mama that I can be. Sometimes I get tired and flustered and impatient.

In the midst of those hard days (today has definitely been one of them) where it feels like I just can’t catch a break, I am telling myself to take a breath and slow down a second. Those little legs will only be this small for such a short while. She will never be as little as she is today and tomorrow she will be older. She will never need me in quite the same way that she needs me in these very minutes. Life only moves in one direction and babies don’t keep. Our job as mothers is to hold the moments, because one day we will look back and those will be the most important things. Not how many errands we ran, bills we paid or chores we accomplished. It will be the times that we danced and giggled, even though all we wanted was to sit down. Or those times when we scoop up a fussy toddler and soothe their big feelings when we truthfully need someone to scoop and soothe us. 

Yes, motherhood is hard, but it is a beautiful duty. Being a “moment holder” is one of the greatest honors of my life.

We said “see you later” to some very sweet fri We said “see you later” to some very sweet friends tonight. We have been blessed to do life with Andrew & Morgan for the last 5 or so years-Andrew even longer. Morgan was even in the delivery room for my rainbow 🌈 baby’s birth (as a student nurse). 🥹 I’m so proud of them for boldly stepping out in faith to do what God has put on their lives. We may be apart in body, but we will be together in spirit. Love you, Browder fam! 🤍

He is risen, and we are thankful! Thankful for thi He is risen, and we are thankful! Thankful for this life and a hope of a future. Thankful for grace and mercy that covers all of our shortcomings.

Happy Easter, fam! 🤍🌸

Just realized I never posted this baby girl’s 4t Just realized I never posted this baby girl’s 4th birthday pics. She is such a joy and this was the most special day. I always want to remember her sweet face as she was sung to, her excitement over her first big girl “coffee” and her first mani-pedi. My baby girl is growing up and it is so bittersweet! 🤍
Clean swaps! 🧼 👇🏻 One little cloth [left] Clean swaps! 🧼 👇🏻
One little cloth [left] replaces all of those chemicals on the right! Just add water 💦 and go 🤯
Space and weight are so important when you #fulltimerv . Making swaps like these make sense for that reason alone. But as a mom, knowing I am reducing body burden not only in myself but my family means so much more. 
Ready to start detoxing your home?! Let me help you. DM me 🤍I’m always happy to give recommendations and help you take baby steps!
