There are moments every day that I know will eventually become distant memories. It terrifies me to think I'll forget them. It's the little tiny things that my kids don't think I see, the subtle look in my husband's eyes that make me know I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, and the daily inspiration that my friends and family provide me. I feel an immense need to capture them all, so here is where I will compile the moments that make up my story.

Day 1

Today is the day that I say no more forgetting. Not many people know this about me, but I'm terrified of forgetting the wonderful experiences I live on a daily basis. I constantly find myself staring off blankly, remembered something that happened years ago, wondering why the memory hasn't surfaced until right then. I'm hoping that I'll commit to keeping this updated, so I can easily look back and see all my moments.

With 2 beautiful children in tow now, I find myself even more desperate to hang on to the moments of my everyday life with them. It's so easy to get caught up in just moving through the schedule of the day. We wake up, we have breakfast, there's playtime, lunch, naps, playtime, snack, playtime, dinner, baths, and then bedtime. I find myself going through the motions some days. What I somtimes fail to realize, are the little moments within those days that make me smile, or make me think, or make me break into tears (whether from laughter or frustration!)

Yesterday, September 18th, was the very first time that my son ever told me that he loved me. It took me by complete surprise! I've been bragging lately that he's adding words at light speed now, but to hear him tell me in his little voice, that he loved me? It melted my heart in a way I didn't know was possible. I am forever changed as a person, just by hearing "wuv you" from him.

Anyway, that's the moment that I needed to capture today. I never want to forget when that moment occurred. I know I'll never forget hearing it, or the way it made me feel, but it's important to me to be able to recreate his little timeline.

I hope to shine the light on my little moments, so that you'll be inspired to hold on to your moments too. I'm happy to know that I'm finally in a place where I can slow down and love my life!

My little love bug!
