This summer has been nothing but magical. I was able to spend every moment with my two little ones. Who wouldn't want to do that!? The best part is, that we had no plans. Every day was a blank canvas for us to paint what we wanted. We went to the library, splash pad, water park, to the pool. You name it, we did it.
As my time with them is drawing to an end, I reflect on the summer and the many things I have learned.
1. Being a stay at home mom is hard work, but I would gladly do it if I was given the opportunity.
2. Girls and boys are totally different. Lilly is sweet and loving. Clay is too, but can turn into Bam Bam at any moment.
3. Kids have selective hearing. They listen when they want to and ignore you A LOT.
4. People with multiple children are my heroes. I watched a little baby this summer and having three kids was exhausting. I was determined not to let three kids stop us from doing things, so we continued to go places and do fun stuff. At the end of the day, I was done!
5. Social Media is not necessary. I took a break from Facebook for the summer. My reasoning was to spend more time with my family and live in MY moment. I have been without it all summer and do not think I will go back. I took a break from Instagram too, but came back to it because I LOVE taking pictures and sharing them with our family and friends. Who knows, when the year starts up again, I might not be on Instagram either.
My biggest life lesson learned this summer was to STAY POSITIVE. Life is too short to be negative all the time. Be thankful for what you have because there are people out there that have it much worse. Live life to the fullest each day and take chances!
