Parenting can be a live comedy! Daily I find humor in the little things that arise during our day! Kids have a way about bringing laughter and joy when everything else seems complicated and overwhelming. It is true, when you become a parent you really don’t have a dull moment in your life no more. Always expect the unexpected, especially if you have a toddler at home. They will definitely bring the best out of us parents when they decide to get into mischief. It is a priveledge and joy to watch my kids grow, try things, experience life, and embrace the difficult trials because memories are being made. Enjoy your little ones, take time to notice and compliment the good. Time is not a luxury it is a gift that should be taken with care!

Cleaning is no joke…lol!
Cleaning is no joke when you have little ones… Right!? Well as I see it, cleaning is hilarious when you have little ones running around. You pick one item up and another pops up on the floor. It is literally my never ending story along with the laundry duty that goes on in this house. Yeah got to say laundry isn’t my favorite chore either. The joys of parenthood, I will say this though cleaning with the kids is awesome. Watching them put away the toys and bicker where the right place to put the them away is hilarious. Some of the craziest conversations come along during clean-up time. Then there are the days when clean up is not an option, yep…those days occur too. To be fair I think adults have a similar mindset, we tend to have those days that we won’t nothing to do with adulting. Cleaning up can be a pain…along with laundry :). I just find it so funny that as adults we still have that child-like attitude towards cleaning and grown-up responsibilities. Our kids are literally our little mini mes…mine sure are. I just love connecting with them and spending quality time with them even in the most serious moments of our busy lives.
Cherishing the Moment
The last few days have been super busy and slightly unproductive but I have made lots of great memories that I will always cherish. This past week has been full of the ups and downs and we are in the middle of trying to buy a house so that doesn’t help with the crazy but making memories with my little ones have been so rewarding over the last week. Like the other day, as crazy as it got there were some hilarious moments that had me rolling on the floor. For instance when I knocked over the corn mill on one of my cats in the kitchen while trying to make snacks for the kids and put up groceries, along while the kids are running throughout the house with the video game blaring in the background. Yes those are the funny yet crazy moments that I love. No matter how crazy your day can get there is always a way to turn around that moment into a cherished one. Cherish the moment, scrap book it, take pictures, embrace it and enjoy it! I don’t want to regret I want to remember all the fun, the good, the excitement I have and will have with my kids. 🙂
Saturday July 2nd
Today has been an interesting day considering that my older kids are hanging out with daddy today! He thought it would be a great day to spend quality time with the older two. I have managed to get the house in somewhat decent shape and have had a lot of downtime today which has been a nice change to my speedy Gonzales pace.
I decided today to give myself a Jamicure, watch the movie HOME for the hundredth time :), and spend one on one quality time with the little ones. It has been such an amazing day so far and a very memorable one at that. I hope all of you are having a wonderful Holiday Weekend as well.
Shirley and Ryder
I am dedicating this post to my daughter Shirley and her boyfriend Ryder!
For two years my daughter and Ryder have been boyfriend and girlfriend! The only time they see each other is camp but ALL year around they stay devoted to each other! It is the cutest little romance! I just love the innocence behind their little fling! They are so inspiring and are both such sweethearts! Church Camp 2016!!!
The Ultimate Gift
This week I have been at church camp and have been unable to get as much done with my writing. This week has been so rewarding though! Watching young children get saved and commit their lives to the Lord is what it is ALL about!
Today I am going to share with you an experience that happened this week that really touched me. My daughter Shirley broke down into tears Wednesday night after service. I questioned her to see what was wrong! The first thought as a mother you automatically think the worst. Well she opened up and said ‘Jesus’! At first I didn’t know how to react, I went on probing her thoughts as any mother would. She went on to say ‘died for our sins and I’m a sinner’. Once those words slipped out of her mouth I felt the tears form in my eyes. I knew then she was grasping the weight of the price Jesus paid for ALL of us. She was hurting because of the price Jesus paid for her sins, our sins! It was such a beautiful and touching moment. She will be six next week and has become aware! God can convict your heart at any age and at anytime! This was an eye opener for me because I forget how much our kids pick up and how much they truly understand!!
God sent Jesus to die on the Cross for OUR sins. He paid the ULTIMATE price! It is a FREE gift, ALL you have to do is pray and put your TRUST in JESUS!

A Gift
I have noticed when working from home that I don’t seem as motivated and am more likely to become distracted. Yep distracted….either by my silly wildcats (joking-not) or my very creative kids find a way to pull this mommy away (which is honestly a great excuse to use). Balancing home life can be very complicated sometimes especially when it is combined with my work life. Finding that balance is key. I have decided recently that working after the kids go down to sleep at night has been such a better approach than my ‘I am going to try to work through the Chaos’ method.
I will say recently I have found a greater joy being home with the kids than I ever did before. For a while I was lost in what I wanted to do with my life. I felt unsure about every decision I made. Now since my grandfather passed last September I have found a more meaningful understanding of how precious life is and how often we take life for granted. I have found out how beautiful motherhood truly is and how blessed I am to be the mother of my four amazing kids! I want all you wonderful parents out there to know it is a gift to be a parent and an honor that should always be cherished.
