Motherhood // These are the days.
After the last few weeks of traveling & sick babies, we were so thankful to have this quiet weekend together. We had breakfast at our favorite spot & took the kids to the park to enjoy the crazy beautiful weather. Brandon got me an hour long massage which was Heaven on earth after toting a twenty three pound baby around in my ergo all weekend & then had a fun dinner out with family. Harper made me the sweetest homemade card, which was cut into a heart shape & had all three girls drawn on the front. I think it will have to remain on the fridge for the next 30 years.

This was my fifth mother's day. It seems surreal that I have been a mom this long, yet I look back and really can't remember much about what life was like before my babies. It won't be long before these precious years are gone, the years of bringing life into this world, snuggling your tiny babies whose smell you never want to forget & being needed every minute of every day. The few short years of your life where you will lose your patience over another lost shoe or find yourself on your hands and knees three times a day scooping up food from the floor. Those toes won't be little for long, their voices won't be so small & there will eventually be things they'd much rather do than follow you to the bathroom.
Motherhood has this way of breaking us down & building us right back up all within mere seconds. It is hard, and it is draining, but there is still so much beauty in this journey. I wanted to be a mom my whole life, I couldn't wait. I hoped and wished and prayed to have little girls some day, and now here we are, five whole years into it. And it has gone by so fast.
These are the days, right here in the palms of our hands.
Lots of love to all of you who celebrated mother's day this year, I hope it was an amazing one. XO
