Be present.
Enjoy the little moments. No more excuses. In 2019, I am done having excuses for why I can't play in the snow or in the pool with my little ones because none of those excuses are good enough. Put the stress and worries on the back burner and be in the moment. The dishes will still be there after movie night. Skip the toy organization and vacuuming and go out and do something with the kids. Or stay in and build a fort together. I am going to put my mom hat on first and leave the cook, maid, family accountant, and writer hats on the shelf a little more often. Because all of the chores will still be there, but these little years are fleeting. They're flying by right before my eyes, and I don't want to miss a beat. The little voices that love me to the "moon and gack" are going to grow. They'll change. The words will be pronounced properly. The temper tantrums will fade as their language skills become a more efficient means to express their emotions. The little body that tucks herself so perfectly into the crook of my neck is going to grow and not want constant cuddles so I'm going to soak them up and enjoy them. The toys and snacks that seem to materialize out of thin air when I just picked them up are just part of the package. The same package that means my house is full of little voices, laughter, and so much love. So this year I'm focusing on the good stuff. I'm enjoying these little years and living in the moment. No more excuses for why I can't play in the snow.
