My sis has been sleep deprived for 2.5 years now, and as a full time mom, she rarely takes any time for herself. So, I decided to kidnap her for a day yesterday and pampered her from head to toe. Spa treatments, wine & dine, bubbly & chocolate, plus a movie she’s been wanting to watch. It was so nice to spend quality time together, with uninterrupted conversation(!!), and to see the fun side of my sis come out again. To all my mama friends...taking a day off once in awhile can be so refreshing for the mind and soul. DO IT!!!!
My days have been filled with equal parts joy + exhaustion with these 3. I love being around such carefree, spirited little humans, but really, how does anyone have the energy to keep up with them?? 😅
He models kindness, patience, and unconditional love for our daughter so well. Today, and everyday, we celebrate him and his astounding force in our little family. 💕
BFFs reunited with the cutest sunnies for all of their summer fun in the sun!
Pasta from a cheese wheel is the absolute BEST, especially when the pasta is freshly made. 😍
Short hair, don’t care? Not this one! She’s always trusted her daddy to be her hair stylist but this time around, her daddy must have been asleep on the job because he accidentally chopped off about 6 inches of her hair! I consoled her for hours before she finally calmed down. Kids tend to magnify situations that seem trivial to adults, so at one point, I was tempted to yell, “IT’S JUST HAIR!!!” But then I recall all that I’ve learned from Dr. Tim Kimmel’s book, Grace Based Parenting, and put into practice what it means to love our children with the same grace that God loves us. To love this way is definitely not second nature to me, and requires a conscious effort of patience, a huge investment of time, and a shift in perspective to see things from the child’s eyes. The result is a child who feels heard, validated, and understood, which builds trust between the parent and child. This particular experience also made me recognize that it wasn’t so much about the hair than it was the loss of trust for her daddy that made Bridgette feel sad and confused. It was a rough night for all, but each of us learned a lot from it and now, we get to do cute hairstyles for this short hair girl! 😋 Oh, and her newest fashion love are suspenders. She digs them so much!! 😂 #staypositive
