The Mom Life

Right now this is my life. My precious daughter is asleep beside me.  In the clothes she wore to school today because that's how we roll some days.  I have What's in the Bible with Buck Denver on,  because I am too tired and achy to get up and put in a non kid movie (I was going to say Adult film, but that didn't seem right as I'm not into XXX stuff).

I treasure these moments,  listening to my daughter sleep.  Someday soon she will crave her privacy and start spreading her wings.  Till then I am taking all the cuddles I get. 

Parenthood is a crazy dichotomy. I love watching her grow up acid seeing the kid she is and all she is doing,  all while I hate how quickly it is happening.  She has moved from little kid and is becoming a big kid. Then she will be a tween, teen and GULP a young adult! All in the blink of an eye.

I plan to make the most of my moments,  to enjoy watching her be a kid and do kid things.  I will encourage her to try new things and help her on her learning journey.  I will help guide her travels to adulthood and remind her it is ok to do all the kid things and to just have fun.

First though,  I will turn off Buck Denver and go to sleep!

My Emerging Reader

So Snowflake wanted to read for her cousin who lives 1000ish miles away.  Luckily we live in the 21st century and I am quite adept with my smart phone camera.  😂 We made a video.  I thought I would share it here too.  Reading is one of my favorite activities, so I just love listening to my Snowflake read.

Keeping it at His Feet

I love to pray.  I love to just talk to Jesus.  He really is my best friend.  It amazes me that He knows me, knows all my secrets, my failures, my inadequate times, my sins and He loves me. He truely loves me. He doesn't love me less than He did when I was younger and skinnier.  He knows what I need to work on but He won't love me more when I purge some sin struggles.  He loves me completely and fully right now. He pursued me. He was beaten, tortured, mocked and brutally killed for me! My name was on His heart when He obeyed the Father on that terrible day. I can never thank Him enough.  I can't get enough of Him. I just love talking to God, the one I can trust with all my tears, fears, doubts, worries and hopes. I am really good at taking things to Him.  One thing I am working on is leaving it there.  I tend to want to take back my fears, worries and doubts. I want to see the future so I know if He says "yes" to my hopes. My big prayer is to complete ou

A Reminder From Snowflake

This morning as I dropped my daughter off at school she walked into her classroom and her face lit up with joy! Her former student teacher was there to sub.  Snowflake loves her regular teacher, but seeing this other gal come back made her day.   I have been pondering her reaction.  This is a hard time of the year for me.  The anniversary of my wedding (marriage lasted for just the blink of an eye), the anniversary of my Grandma's entrance to Heaven and now another loved family member has passed to Heaven and I am still trying to celebrate and enjoy Advent while giving my daughter precious memories.  So many different emotions at war with each other.  Snowflake's joy this morning was a wake-up call. It was a gift for her to have this teacher back for the day.  Snowflake was going to enjoy it.   Do I make the most of the little gifts God sends me each day? Do I fully enjoy them, or do I ignore them and focus on the pain? I need to be more mindful so I am open and am a
