ReplyDeleteIn other words, this was beautiful and snapped me out of my mood for a moment. Thank you!
xoxoxo Luv you! This was the perfect way to end my night! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic list, its try, we are lucky to be mothers. Its the best!
ReplyDeleteVery beautifully written. Remember these moments becuase they pass all too quickly. And believe me, it is all worth it. When you have those moments that you look at your husband when your child does something, and you both know without even saying it, that you wouldn't trade it for the world. Our Heavenly Father must really love us to allow us to experience the wonder of being a mom. If it wasn't hard, it wouldn't mean so much.
ReplyDeleteLove you,
Mom
