important moments.

it's crazy how a moment. a.single.moment. can make such a difference in an entire day...
a moment like this...

can make other moments---difficult moments that are filled with little ones crying, screaming, yelling, fighting, struggling---all.disappear.completely.

i am most definitely a hands-on mommy.
i am most definitely a mommy that feels the importance of constantly filling my amazings with affirmations {you make my heart so happy. i am so happy to be your mommy. you are amazing. i am proud of you. you are smart...and the list goes on}
i am most definitely a mommy that can, at times, wish a day would just end.
i am most definitely a mommy that so deeply feels the importance & the absolute necessity of making an apology when i have failed.
and i am most definitely a mommy that needs to snuggle these little ones of mine...often...throughout the day.
there is something so incredibly healing about having the arms of your little one wrapped around your neck...it seems to make every.single.frustration that you may have felt during the day simply melt away...it seems to make everything ok with the world.

thankful for these moments.
they are treasured.
