Shoulda...

The holidays were quite busy around here. So busy in fact, that I stopped reading most blogs and stopped in my tracks when it came to my blog also. 

Well last night I ran into a really good blog post touching on being a mommy to littles and trying to do it all.

After reading it, I wish I had read it prior to the holidays lol... Trying to juggle three boys and a husband, wrapping presents, baking and decorating cookies, hosting family, and on and on was not an easy set of tasks!

Big boy had his birthday over the holiday break <3

A rare quiet moment at home :)

We survived it all and now that I have read the previously mentioned blog, i have to say that it was a good message... (And that I really should have read it earlier haha.) I will try my best to do just enough to savor the sweet moments with my kiddos... Maybe skip some of the stuff on the to-do list... Try to raise my voice a little less...  

Time slips away all too fast and sometimes I am guilty of taking on too much and not enjoying my kiddos as much as I should...
