*instead of putting the clean clothes away, i am a band member in the band.
*instead of just putting a movie on & walking away, i stay & watch it too. (with popcorn, of course!!)
*instead of putting the dishes away, i play a board game.
*instead of cleaning the toys up right away, we leave them & i follow them outside for a walk or head to the park.
i have not always been this way. and to be honest, its still hard sometimes to see all that i need to do & not do it.
i am learning that "in the moment" with the boys is most important.
i am realizing that all my "have to's" can really wait until after the boys are in bed.
i need to enjoy today... NOW!!!
i need to remember that i can't get time back from them.
my sweet boys are growing fast & i need to make the best memories with them everyday!

Misty, you are such a good mommy! I needed this post today! Thank you!!
This is so sweet and so true! I love it!
What fantastic thoughts. I love that
I love it..so touching and true!
Wow, this list is so beautiful! I was a ministry mom to 2 boys who are now 23 & 26. Your decisions to put them first are well worth the frustration of seeing undone things around you.
My sons are great men, but I would do many things differently if given the chance!
You are a good mom, enjoy!
