Essence of Now: Little Things

What’s that you say? It’s Friday again?

Thank. Goodness.

This week has really figured out how to kick me while I was down. (Thanks for that, by the way.)

I refused to let it ruin my spirits though. Instead, I have focused on the little things that brought a smile to my face.

Like a chocolate covered face after a special treat…

Or the way their eyes lit up when we saw the SS United States…

And the amazement found in a new discovery…

So instead of letting things get me down, I soaked up the little things in life.

And held on tightly.

Because really, isn’t that what matters anyway?

Essence of Now

Kimberly

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. Don't want to miss a post? Be sure to subscribe to my RSS feed.

    I hate this week for you. :( Glad it’s almost over. Love the picture of you and L. Your hair is adorable. Love the toes! I would seriously not be able to ever say no to your kids. Ever. With their dreamy eyes and smooshy cheeks, they’d have me wrapped around their little finger.
