Not every day feels peaceful, especially recently, but today has been that way. It didn’t seem like it would be. After the Lemon Drop got up four times in the night (goodness, that baby) I was dragging pretty hard right off the hop. And then the babies alternated, which is not ideal, as I tend to count on nap time as some nice downtime for me as well. But having one baby at a time actually worked out fairly nicely today. I did a puzzle. I watched some YouTube. I chatted with the baby that was up. It was relaxing and calm.
I feel so fortunate to have days like this. That isn’t lost on me. Some days as a stay at home mom are pure chaos and have me questioning my life choices 😅 and some days, I spend the day in sweatpants, sipping coffee and smiling at the sweet soft shenanigans, and most days are somewhere in between!
Tomorrow will pick up again, but today has been relaxing and for that, I am grateful. As I sit in my chair, writing my blog, Laela is practicing piano, Solly is playing lego at the table, Rowan is playing in his room, and Wavy and Dekker are downstairs. Both babies are resting a little bit, which won’t last long at all, but still counts. I will start supper shortly. It’ll be a yummy one that no one fights.
And clubs are tonight, so there will even be some quiet time in the house with Brady and I and the babies.
Thank you Lord for giving us such a beautiful life.
