OK starting today I am going to try to really use this blog as a release. Just what i intended to do when i started it. I recently found (thanks to my love of pinterest) an AMAZING blog. She is a wonderful writer and an amazing mother and although I know that all that glitters is not gold... Her life seems amazingly beautiful through her amazing photographs. OK Ive used the word amazing enough in the last few sentences. :) If you have never been introduced to the world of Kelle Hampton, Allow me. http://www.kellehampton.com
take some time to stop by and check out her life, you wont be sorry... I promise. And so now I must say reading her blog has been truly inspiring to me. She makes me want my own life to be more beautiful and to be a better mom and to just look at life with an entirely different perspective. Which I vow to try and do. My girls are 11. Getting ready to start middle school and this all saddens me. I know I should not feel that way but I do. I should look at their lives and be glad and proud of the young women they are becoming, And I do... BUT, It makes me long for the younger years. No, by no means do I miss the diapers and bottles but I do miss all of the years that I didn't really take the time to ENJOY those times. Yes, I know I was present and I know that I loved and cared for my children. They were fed, loved, clean and happy but I will be honest with all of you. I never really stopped so smell the roses so to speak. I never took the time to truly look into each moment and savor it with all that I am, and I regret that. Life missions are a funny thing. Like new years resolutions. We always start out with good intentions but often times have a hard time following through. I once read that it takes 21 days of doing something repetitively before it becomes a habit or part of your life. I need to try to do this with my girls and my husband and my blogging. If I can get into the "habit " of cherishing moments to the best of my ability ,and get into the "habit" of blogging, maybe I will feel like I have accomplished something . Won't you come along with me? Please know that I am new to this and don't have that many followers but if you enjoy ANY of what you read here please let me (and some friends) know! Hoping that can put some oil on my rusty start.:)
