Trying to do better

I feel like every post I'm having to say, "I'm going to do better with blogging" and I feel like I fail every time. I wanted to document our lives for Lakelyn to have something to look back on when she is older. So here's to trying again to do better. I am hoping since putting the app on my phone it will help me stay on top of things because, after all, who has time between working, coaching cheer, laundry, cleaning, two dogs and a toddler to get on a computer when you can do basically anything from a phone!

 

 

 

So today's post is for all of those moms out there that feel like they're failing. Keep your head up! If she happens to eat a week old Froot Loop that she found on the floor or pulls out every old toy that you have put aside to sell at this weekends garage sale or even pulls her diaper off and runs around for you to catch her before she pees all over the floor, she is happy and that's what matters.

 

Let the house be a disaster and the laundry pile up until you run out of clothes, use that dish washer more than normal and stay in your pjs for the entire day. Hold her tight, chase her 10738 times around the house, kiss every imaginary boo-boo, read that book 8 more times, and just sit and watch her learn new things. She will be grown and on her own soon enough.

And for now, us mommas will sit on the couch ugly crying after looking at a picture you took that morning because she is growing so fast even if she is in the next room taking her afternoon nap!
