every day I hit the ground running with my boys. n

every day I hit the ground running with my boys. no time to figure out what I’m wearing or if I should put make up on. there is a time and season for those things (and don’t get me wrong I absolutely love it) but that is not my life right now. and I’m more than okay with it.

above all, I know all of this time is worth it. the hustle, the exhaustion. at the end of the day, I often find myself whispering that this is just a season of life. that it will pass by in the blink of an eye. and I know I’ll miss it so much.

time moves so quickly so savor the moments. take the pictures. have ice cream before lunch. let them play in the dirt. ask them if they need a big BIG hug just because. kiss their foreheads as much as you can. tell them you love them. take a deep breath and remember to be patient. embrace the time, the energy, the madness, the chaos. you will only have this time once ❤️

no regrets on how you spend it
