Long Days, Short Years

In describing motherhood, someone once said to me, “The days are long, but the years are short.”  I believe this paints an incredibly accurate picture of my life right now. My days feel so drawn out at times, but then the night comes and I lay down with my little girl and I wonder when she got so big. I rock my son and I lose my breath at the realization that his first birthday is right around the corner. It feels like just yesterday that we brought Lillian home from the hospital, let alone our baby boy.


I blog for many different reasons. I blog to share cute stories and pictures with our family and friends. I blog to remember the little moments that otherwise would have just gotten lost in the hustle and bustle of our day. Sometimes I just blog to quite the noise in my own head. But today I am blogging to remind myself that this is merely a season of my life, and I should appreciate every moment of it because soon the seasons will change. 

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.
