Your children need your presence more than your presents.
This is something that I am so very focused on right now.
These sweet moments are fleeting…
And I want to be here, really here…
To soak it all up and take it all in…
To remember these treasured times…
To fill our hearts with joy…
Because I know they will be over in the blink of an eye.

*I’m making some changes around my little corner of this blog very soon. Please stayed tuned to see where this new path in my journey takes me. I’m very excited and can’t wait to reveal this new direction to all of you.*

I am a busy mom of four, trying to keep my head above water as I swim through the sea of testosterone that has taken over our house. I'm a coffee addict and book lover. My family is everything to me and I often write about my journey through motherhood. This blog captures those special moments in life. This life isn’t easy. It’s not always full of sunshine and rainbows. It’s hard. It’s a struggle. But it’s MY life. Welcome to it.

Hi, my name is Kimberly! I am a wife of 1 and mom to 4. I'm a social media addict and book lover. This blog is a raw and honest look at life through my eyes. I capture the moments as I fumble through motherhood, marriage, and my new graphic design career. I am sometimes funny, a bit sarcastic, and always sleep deprived.

That quote in the beginning is so very true.
So, are you changing your blog design to look like the Vegas strip? That would be awesome.
Yeah, you know I had to mention Vegas in my comment.

You’re not going to start writing all your posts in haiku, are you?
Your presence is so, so much more important. I wish more people remembered this, I really do. It seems everywhere I go I see parents on their phones, completely ignoring their kids who are either throwing fits or acting up or just sitting and staring off. I mean, it happens. Life happens. But…for an hour in a restaurant? Really?
Okay. Off the soapbox. Maybe I should take a pill and get happy…?
Oh those sweet babies.
You are so self aware. You really are!
