Just For Today

Just for this morning I won't wash cloths, instead we will watch your favorite cartoon.

Just for this morning I won't wash dishes, instead we will color together.
Just for this afternoon I won't watch my soaps; instead we will go to the park and feed the ducks.
Just for this afternoon you and I will snuggle up on the couch and watch a favorite movie and eat popcorn.
Just for tonight I will let you help me fix dinner and I won't yell at you for making a mess.
Just for tonight I won't yell when you splash water all over the bathroom floor.
Just for tonight when I tuck you into bed and we snuggle together to read your favorite story I will hold you a little tighter and a little longer and Thank God for giving you to me.

Sure God created man before woman. 

But then you always make a rough draft before the final masterpiece.

“The happiest moments of my life have been the few which I have passed at home in the bosom of my family.”

- Thomas Jefferson

Children of the same family, the same blood, with the same first associations and habits, have some means of enjoyment in their power, which no subsequent connections can supply...

Sweet, sweeter, sweetest little one...

Some kids are shy,
Some kids will cry,
Some kids don't mind,
But this one always smiles!

Being a mommy

Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs in my field, since the payment is pure love.

So good to be together!

Our most basic instinct is not for survival but for family. Most of us would give our own life for the survival of a family member, yet we lead our daily life too often as if we take our family for granted. ~Paul Pearshall
