Lately I have come to my blog, looked at it, typed a few words...and closed it. I have lacked the inspiration, the energy and the desire to talk about my day, my heart and my passions. I have said yes to too much, have packed my days so full of ways to help provide for our family that I have lost the ability to function when I am with my family! There has to be a balance somewhere. I know that God has given me so many opportunities but this weekend I just spent time with my family, my beautiful, lovely and full of life little princesses and so far I am loving it ( there is still Sunday!). Today we got all dressed up to spend a night out with Aunt Loren and Danny who are in town rarely ( of course Uncle Adam, Aunt Jessica and the gang were there and a surprise visit from our good friends Nate and Kirby). They bought Mackenzie a bag full of princess and Tinkerbell Jewelry and she loved that of course. She was so excited to see her Aunt Loren and talked about nothing else all morning as we prepared to spend the day with her.
She shopped till she dropped. In Forever 21 she made a huge scene as she found hats, purses, sparkly necklaces and bracelets and covered her body with them! Everyone looked at her and smiled with kind comments! At first I thought I should stop her, thinking of all the work it would take to put it back up but then the thought came....why? Why make her put it up. She was embracing life, making beauty out of her Saturday evening and enjoying her reflection in every shiny mirror. Let her live and live through her passion!
Later she got cotton candy and was so kind to share with all of us in the car. It was such a joy to watch her embracing her life full of laughter and smiles. Where is my smile, my embrace and joy? I have let myself become full of stress and when I actually get a free moment with just me and my girls I have to spend it trying to make my home livable again from the chaos! I am so grateful for every oportunity but next week I choose life again! I am a stay at home mom because I want to cherish these moments with my girls and not hand them over to someone else to live these moments with them. Of course Life goes on and I must continue to help provide but when I am home with my girls I will cherish the time we get alone. I will find more time to give to my girls and remember my number one passion in my life.
