This is so true for Mamma’s, don’t you think?  I’ve had a tough week so far.  A sick baby who has decided tantrums are the way to go (hello, 1-years-old!) and two big boys who think sleeping is unnecessary (hello, 5am wakeup calls!) have created one zombie-like Mamma.  I have lost my patience.  My dinners have been less than stellar.  And all of those grand plans for reading around the Christmas tree and days filled with cooking and crafts?  Um, hasn’t happened this week!  

Weeks like these leave me with two choices: wallow in my failure as a mother or vow to do better tomorrow.  And while I’ll admit it is not easy, I’m doing my best to do the latter.  

Back to more fun gift ideas tomorrow!  

Among the Christmas tree trimming and birthday party preparations, I’ve been playing around with a few crazy ideas in my head. The thoughts both terrify and excite me, so I’m praying with extra fervor for God’s direction.  We’ll see!  

I love this print and am definitely putting it on my wishlist!  You can find it here.

 I needed this reminder today…maybe you do too? 
Have a good first day of September, friends!
