Recently I've had to trim down my schedule to make quiet, purposeful time with my kiddos. It's so easy to be busy- and busy with 'good things'. But I'm learning that a jammed-pack schedule of 'good things' isn't always what my kids need. I know this season in my life is so fleeting. Before I know it my babes will be at school 5 days a week and my heart will be aching for these days.
Mornings where we could sit and chalk for hours at a time. Have a dance party. Share a snack outside. Snuggle on a rocking chair. Maybe go to the library. Maybe not. We've got no plans. We'll see. Sometimes I try so hard to expose my kids to so many 'good things' that I forget to just savor this brief moment. Every now and then I get that right. Today I did. So here's to soaking up their messy hair, chalk-filled bare feet, and crazy dance moves. My heart needed to stop and see it all today <3 <3
