These are the days I know will fly by like the landscape passing by a speeding minivan. I am making many mistakes. I raise my voice too often, I am too quick to get irritated, I say no more than yes and I am often filled with mommy guilt at the end of the day.
But then we have moments when it all feels right.
Moments when my heart feels so full it might burst out of my chest.
Moments when no one is snatching a toy out of someone’s hands and no one is screaming because their world is coming to an end.
Well maybe the no screaming thing was taking it a little far. Let’s be real. Someone.is.always. screaming.
I guess that just comes with the territory.
And we do have peaceful moments occasionally.
A very special thank you to Elmo, Barney, Nemo and naptime for all the quiet moments.

I can relate. I try to always remember to tell the girls what they did right every day. I tend to be really critical so I’m trying to give good with the bad. Hard to remember to do that but their faces light up when you tell them what they did right.
Love this post, it made me fondly remember my own childhood spent in boxes
Mr.007 and Aunt April loved to play in boxes. The girls are so beautiful. I love every picture.
Every time I see these little ladies they get more beautiful! AND – HELL TO THE YEAH on the Elmo, Barney, and Nemo!!!! We would be absolutely insane without them!
Your girls are adorable! My daughter is Mattyson and if we have another girl I planned on naming her Alyvia or Alivia!!
