Everyday is full of beautiful and amazing moments of being alive. Everyday is full of laughter and giggles from the moments of being in the presence of children. Everyday is great because of the creativity and individuality of my kids.


Without a doubt becoming a parent has been a journey of epic change and courage. Each moment I spend with my kids I am full of emotions ranging from joy to sorrow, fear to excitement, embarrassment to pride. How can 2 little boys, smaller than most of their age be so full of humor, love, joy, curiosity, and chaos? My home speaks of their ability to turn any spot into a play area and that no room can go untouched in a day. My piles of laundry speak of several outfits a day because they manage to make a mess of themselves with everything they do. My car speaks of our time traveling to classes, Grandparents, trips, and fun since it is a constant container for snacks, drinks, and forgotten toys and clothes. My life speaks of love and adoration beyond compare. To be loved so unconditionally is a gift of incredible, unimaginable wealth. To be able to love back in that magnitude is even harder to imagine, but yet it is there filling my chest with warmth and my face with a smile from ear to ear. Life is good, no matter what is going on around me in the world or in my world, life is good because I am a mom of 2 precious little boys.
