You get one life, why not star in it?
Because Some Days It Is Hard
I love my children. Deeply. Dearly. And with a profound understanding that I am immensely blessed to be a mother.
That said...
Some days this job is hard. So very hard. Drive me to tears and too much Halloween candy hard.
Just Tell Them
I am lamenting our "all or nothing" parenting world. Why can't we balance smart and talented with encouraging hard work? Why can't we have sports options for kids who have talent and need competition as well as have leagues that celebrate fun and physical fitness (especially in our state of obesity)? Why the elephant or the tiger? Why?
My Life is Not a Pinterest Page
I think it is human nature to try to shine the most positive light on our lives. With social media that need goes on steroids. So often I share the pictures of smiling kids at fun places while I have deleted 50 of them pouting. And that doesn't touch the moments when they wouldn't even get in the picture because they were having a fit.
