Introducing Eli and Orien: Best Buddies

Well, Eli has been waiting for quite awhile for a magical thing called, a buddy. Orien came at just the right time when Hudson is going to playdates and Eli has to stay with me... Included in the new package is a new buddy for me as well, because Orien's mom rocks. Here's to many more dance parties, trampoline adventures, and hikes in the woods...

What I've learned so far...

I used to think multi-tasking was a bad thing but now I realize that its a good way for kids to learn because they take in everything like sponges. Exposure, exposure, exposure is good for them.
That being a soccer mom isn't so bad.
To simplify Holiday Weekends!!!
That our purpose (right now) is to raise happy, physically/emotionally healthy individuals to give to the world.
To simplify our expectations.

The years know much that the days never knew. Anonymous
I am actually happiest when I am doing chores and getting things accomplished.

Sometimes a mother needs to get space and do something that reminds her of her old self. Going from maiden to mother is a BIG transition and it doesn't have to happen over night.

Post partum depression is very real and very dangerous. If anyone ever needs my help with it I will be there in a hot second.
Be present... Be in the moment all the time. It makes your marriage great. It makes your children happier.
