Yeah, blogging steals my naptime, too… plus, I don’t think my son would stand for it. But it sounds beautiful (and it was way back when he would do that)!

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions, and you’re welcome to those that this article helped. I send you Internet hugs.

I often think that mothering fulfillment is easier to achieve when mom takes an afternoon nap with the child(ren). A few stories, a cuddle and some snoring for everyone. Sure, my blogging adiction has ruined napping for me, but there is still time for the rest of you to not be like me.

I have had just a really tiring and exhausting week parenting my three kids (all under 4). Then yesterday, I was taking them on a walk. They started singing little fun songs, I started singing, it was a beautiful day, and everything came back into perspective. I try to remember that life is not always the “doing” part but the “being”.

I’ve recently started trying to remind myself to “zoom out.” I tend to get consumed by those difficult moments as well. They are NOT the complete picture.

excellent advice. I’ve had a particularly trying day myself.. and then the toddler just walks up says “hug!”, squeezes my nearest appendage, and adds the bonus of a kiss.

I really do try to make the most of the good times with my girls. Even the bad times aren’t too bad when I think about how fast they’re growing up. One day I’ll miss the tantrums – okay, maybe not. LOL!
