Love the Little Things

Yesterday was one of the most relaxing days I've had in awhile, because Saturdays are a moms best friend. I mean my day did start way earlier than I wanted-seriously people please don't text me before 9 am! But, it was okay because one of my toddlers was up and playing already, yea I know I'm a terrible mom tried to sleep in a left a two year unattended! To be fair, it was 7 am and most of the time they're all still sleeping. Anyway! I got up with her and we played "tea party" for a bit, it was nice to finally spend some time with my kids and not feel rushed. Most of my morning was just so peaceful and playful, because well honestly I didn't feel like doing anything other than being with my kids. I realized at that moment, it was exactly what I needed. I needed to play tea party, I needed to show my daughter how to braid her princess's hair(even if I didn't really know what I was doing). I need those moments of peace, don't get me wrong I did actual work too. I got laundry done, I cleaned some of our bedroom, and went through some of the kids clothes, but it doesn't compare to how complete I felt after playing with my kids. It was then that I decided Saturdays are officially not going to be super structured to keep my sanity. It probably sounds weird and the opposite of what you should do to keep your sanity, but that unstructured playtime made my mood like 100 times better, plus my kids were happy to have me play with them and at the end of the day they are the most important part of my life. So thank you Skyler, for being awake early and showing me that sometimes I just have to play with you guys to fix my mood.
