Today was a normal, busy day filled with school pick ups, making meals, dishes, laundry, naptime, homework, piano practice, working on my Sunday School lesson and the always draining bedtime routines. As I sat down to unwind tonight, I was overcome with a feeling of contentment and joy. I think I've finally found my groove as a mom of three little ones. I find comfort in our daily routine and joy in my babies despite the many challenges and my inadequacies.
I've experienced a few storms in life and have seen them all around me in others lives. Mortality feels more and more real to me with every year. Which is maybe why these calming moments are ones that I cherish.
Besides- how could you not be blissfully happy spending every day with this little cutie pie? She radiates joy.
