WHERE AM I?

It seems like more than a few days since I have posted anything. It's not like anything extraordinary has happened that has garnered my attention. You know what has been happening? LIFE. And there is no denying that can get pretty ordinary, and yet extraordinary, all at the same time(now that I think about it).

My babies are growing up. "Special K" will be 5 in a matter of days. And little "M&M" isn't so little anymore. She won't even let me call her my baby anymore. What's with that? Why does that have to happen so soon.

I remember when "K" was born, when all my parent-friends and family told me to cherish every moment... it goes by in a blink. And boy were they right! It goes by even faster than I thought it would. I have to remind myself all the time to slow down, savour every sweet moment with my girls, and not to sweat the small stuff. That is my heartfelt advice to every parent or parent-to-be.

BEAUTY IN WEEDS

I love kids. They have such a way of looking at everything. Even the ordinary is beautiful, exciting and new.

Take a dandelion. A weed to most, but to my two girls, a beautiful flower to give to their Mommy. Today I received two beautiful bouquets of dandelions. How sweet is that!
