It's beautifully put and hard and sweet and loving all at the same time. Everything you wrote rings so true. I want every moment to last forever but I want to see who they become. I want time to stop and to bask in the love we all feel right now. I want the teenage years to be amazing and not the "just wait" I keep hearing. Thank you for this perfect post. Now to hug those babies.Kristen [Playground Prepster]https://www.blogger.com/profile/17577071697448069754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8479044467467363635.post-52785996852978069752015-07-13T16:24:44.557-05:002015-07-13T16:24:44.557-05:00This is so perfect.

Life is most definitely about love, laughter, and going crazy every now and then (like daily). And why does time move so freakin fast all of a sudden?? You perfectly summed up all the crazy mess of emotions that is motherhood. Nothing pre-kids could've prepared me for the insanity and raw vulnerability and love that I feel now, but it really is the best kind of crazy :)Nina Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15113240653008385871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8479044467467363635.post-16677909200808509142015-07-08T19:00:11.609-05:002015-07-08T19:00:11.609-05:00What a beautiful and real post!

And although I only have one child, I feel a lot of the same things that you are. For some reason, I was so excited about Mason's birthday and now I can't believe he is going to be THREE. I feel like these past 3 years have gone by way too fast and I haven't done even half of what I wanted to do. But alas, time keeps moving forward and while I'm sad my baby is not a baby anymore, I am SO excited to see him grow and learn in the future!

My daughter is going to be 2 on the 26th and my mind is blown that 2 years just passed in the blink of an eye. I'm proud of what I've accomplished as a mom thus far but, at the same time, I also feel like a failure because I'm not there all the time - because I have to work. But I love this kid with all of my being and motherhood is truly the greatest thing ever. Thank you for sharing such emotional thoughts. And happy early birthday to Mim! :)Leslie @ This is For Keepshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15387241029055069689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8479044467467363635.post-57042796582719863422015-07-08T08:29:21.704-05:002015-07-08T08:29:21.704-05:00This is such a great post.
