don't miss out

"guiding your children cannot be done in your spare time:

opportunities are almost always inconvenient.

 be ready so not a single one is missed."

my sweet hubby sent me a pic of this tweet this week and said

 "your the best at this"

maybe a little too good at it, and sometimes i think i let the house go way too much! but you know the saying , your not going to look back one day and  think "i wish i worked more"

 {or  spent more time cleaning and had the house spotless,

which is impossible when you have kids anyway} 

you are going to think, i should of spent more time with my kids. 

so next time your doing your dishes and your 3 year old comes up to you and says 

"hold me mommy"

stop doing the dishes and hold them

next time your doing the laundry and your 4 year old says 

"let's play a game mommy" 

{while throwing the laundry all over the livingroom, haha}

take time out to let those clothes get a little wrinkle in them and play a game or throw the clothes all over with them :)

next time your babe is fussing because they want to be rocked, 

take time out to rock them in your arms instead of putting them in the swing 

{i'm not saying that the swing is not a complete lifesaver, 

and never to use it,wink}

i love and adore my kids so much

 {even though some days i go a tad coo coo}

i always want them to remember that mommy had time for them 

and loves them so much

kind of sappy, but sometimes we all need a reminder {including myself}

 what things are important in life.

like spending as much quality time with your kids

and not just "fitting" them in to our schedule
