Mornings with Mom

In a few months my baby will start Kindergarten.

All of my kiddos will be full-timers at school.

The leisurely mornings with my girl are quickly coming to a close.

I am doing my best to savor them.

You will never have this day with your children again.

Tomorrow they will be a little bigger than they are today.

This day is a gift.  Breathe and notice.

Smell and touch them; study their faces and little feet and pay attention.

Relish the charms of the present.  Enjoy today mama.

It will be over before you know it.

Fairy Art

Someone has a bit of a fairy obsession as of late.

Colorful fairy pictures created by an almost-five-year-old are all over the house.

I love them.
