Too much to do, too little time

Being a mom has taught me a lot. I have learned my house does not need to be perfect, the laundry can wait, and the dishes will always accumulate. Yet these precious moments I have with my daughter are fleeting. They will soon be all but gone. I look back over the last 6 months and can’t help but see how much she has changed. I have rejoiced over every new accomplishment. I remember the first time she rolled over; I was elated, now she can roll like no bodies business. I remember struggling that first week to help her learn to breastfeed while she screamed in protest, now she can do it in her sleep. I treasure every single time I get to rock her to sleep; it is truly one of my favorite things. I have a tendency to feel like a failure when my house is not perfect, but being a mom has taught me that it truly is the little things that matter most, and not to sweat how clean my house is. Chores will always need to be done, but don’t forget to love the moments that will all too soon be gone!
