Another beautiful take on the joys and challenges of motherhood. Lovey. I found this post beautifully captured the realities of parenting toddlers. As we know the importance of playing with our kids, not just supervising them...it takes real patience to stay present, but the payoff is worth it. One small shift that’s made a big difference in our family: choosing books over phones to pick up when those moments come. Today, at restaurants, we leave the iPads at home and bring crayons or stories instead. We've had so many people stop to say how refreshing it is to see this. #parentingwin
Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughts, my friend! You're so right. A book is a way better alternative to the phone. I really need to hide my phone from myself on those long Sunday afternoons. Crayons > apps :)
This makes me so happy! If I can bring some lightness to someones day through writing down my thoughts and feelings - that is a big deal to me!! We're all in this together :)

Love this; you've said aloud what many of us think, and there's freedom + lightness in that :)
