Surrender.
I have had to learn to be ok with my daily success becoming 100% intangible. I measure it in laughs and sand castles and bubbles. It’s defined by smiles and moments. It’s a muscle I’m flexing daily, and I am slowly getting stronger in my pursuit of presence for my kids.
The good in goobyes
This past week was a monumental one for me as a mom. It sounds silly, but the first haircut for each of our boys is incredibly emotional and was heightened even more with Colton. I held off for a very long time, partly because I absolutely loved his long hair, and partially because I did not want to let go of my “baby”.
