Naptime...
This weekend I put all things aside, dishes, laundry, house cleaning, paperwork and I just curled up on the couch with my little boy and we took naps. It was perfection, to taking a couple hours out of the crazy days and cuddling with my buddy was awesome. I don't know how much longer I will get a chance to do this so until there is no more I will make time to lay down and snuggle with my little ones.

Book... Dreams Change
I happen across this blog yesterday and instantly fell in love. She is such a beauty and full of such character. As I was reading along I seen that she had an ebook out so I ordered it right away, and last night I read, cried and felt so connected to someone who lives across the country. What a story, what a wonderful mom. Are stories are different but the much the same, the feelings and emotions are almost spot on. I encourge anyone to get this ebook and read it.

Why I cry... Why I smile
"I cried because I was happy, I cried because I am still learning, I cried because my emotions can't contain that kind of awesome and yes, I cried because there were short moments when I felt sad, and it is important to me to let myself feel those moments when they come. They fuel the passion to be proactive. They fuel growth."
"You can't effectively move forward in life unless you have those moments of letting yourself feel the darker side of reality once in a while. I do that, you know. Maybe not publicly every time, but I'm human (if you don't count the unicorn gene). And even after those moments of pushing the bruise to feel the pain, I smile and think to myself...Life is so very rich. Even with the challenges."
words borrowed from Kelle Hampton over at... http://www.kellehampton.com/
When I read these words this weekend I fell in love. I was exactly how I feel. I feel so blessed to know so many mothers that understand, that have been here that are here and now.

The Getaway...
Pictures were taken from Google searches
Friday marks our 5 year wedding anniversary and we are running away. We are taking a train to Glenwood Springs, CO and while we are there we are going to enjoy the hot springs. Luke has never been on a train and neither of us have been to Glenwood. This is going to be the perfect getaway.
