We're in!! We're in!! We're in!!
I've been putting off this post. I don't know why. I have truly, genuinely for the first time, maybe in my life, been so in love with my place of life.
I have two sweet, sweet babies with bright, wide eyes staring up at me. I have a super hot husband that is more than I ever deserved. I was given this cozy little house. God abundantly provides the funds so I can make it a home. But ya know, I've put off this post because somehow in the {midst of all that beauty} there's still the real life and I never, I {NEVER} want to come across as having it "all together". My dear friend, you deserve to always hear nothing less than {true honesty} coming from me.
I guess that's the beauty of LIFE as a mom of two tots. It's all mixed up with the beauty and the ugly in one big mixing bowl. My prayer is all these "ingredients" will one day bake into yummy cookies.
Because the honest to goodness truth of my life is I was crying to my husband last night, I was annoyed with my toddler this morning and I was frustrated with my wee one this afternoon. I stayed in my pajamas, I watched Blue Bloods during nap time, I almost chopped off my hair out of complete insanity, I gave my toddler 3 timeouts in 1 hour, I screamed at him, yes I did that and then I cried to my husband again when he walked in the door because I thought I was going insane. Nobody talks about those ugly moments.
Why am I telling you this? Because I wish there was a mom who told me her {honesty}.
Because I still believe there's {beauty} to be found.
It drives me absolutely NUTS when moms all talk about their crazy life while still looking "put together" because I am NOT put together and I am SO tired of the comparison game. We're in!! We're in!! We're in!!

I'm just waking up every morning, brewing my coffee, hugging my babes, texting sweet nothings to my husband and each day adding a new special DETAIL to our home.
THAT is the beauty each day.
The details.
Making our house a home.
Putting up a Christmas tree even for only a day.
Making the boys room our first priority.
So they feel safe, comfortable and so LOVED.
Because nothing else matters if we can't pay attention to the DETAILS in each day,
in the ones we love.
Beautifully real post, Heidi! Thanks for sharing!
