I Just Can't Stand It

Every day I look at my daughters and it just brings tears to my eyes when I see how fast they are growing up.

I will give advice to all pregnant women out there, and new moms:

Enjoy each pregnancy and baby like it's your last,

because it might be and you might not be ready for it.

 I absolutely didn't think Scarlet was my last baby,

but that is how the cards were dealt.

I feel emotional every Monday when I drop Ella off at school.

I see her trot away with her little friends and I miss her.

I miss the little girl who was always happy (if somewhat strong willed).

She is still happy and spirited,

she's just getting so grown up!!

She listens to music I recognize, not Elmo's greatest hits.

She has little friends and they give each other gifts.

She reads!!

She worries!!

She gets so excited and likes to talk to me still!!

I know those years are getting short and I just want to weep!!

Sunday was Stake Conference and I chose to just stay home.

We curled up on the couch and binge watched 'Worst Cook in America' together

and ate a bunch of junk food.

She reached over and wrapped herself around my arm and just hugged it.

There is still a little girl in there and I will nourish it until the last drop is replaced by indignant teenager!!

I happen to read this on the same day.

I have been implementing it in our home and I swear it makes a difference!!

They just want love and attention.

I'm an ok mom.

I do my best and just want my family to be happy.

So I love to find easy, feasible tips to help with every day life!!
