On Motherhood

It's been one of those weeks in our house.

Correction: one of those two weeks.

As soon as we were done with Jonah's trip to the ER, nasty coughs, colds and earaches entered our house.

Both kids got nasty ear infections (which we rarely get), one has pink eye, we have had sleepless nights, and I feel like I am running a pharmacy.

A trip to the ER, and three trips to the doctor in less than two weeks is a little much for me.  I am a little worn out.

But that's just the way it goes sometimes.  you plow through it doing the best you can and asking for God's strength (and perspective) along the way.

This may sound strange, but since becoming a wife and a mother I realize how flawed I am.   and how much i need the Lord in my life.

motherhood is an amazing thing.  my love for my children is deep and fierce, yet i am still human and I make mistakes.

I made this over the weekend and it touches on this beautiful, crazy thing called motherhood...

Journaling says:  "Being a mom is the most amazing, scary, rewarding, inspiring, frustrating, beautiful, tiring, wonderful, hilarious, sometimes embarrassing (re: conversations/questions asked in public restrooms), God-needing, lovely, life-changing, revealing job of my life.  You two are precious to me,  Daddy and I love you so much."

I was happy to use the Salvaged add on from the Studio Calico Brooklyn Flea kit.  It's sooo pretty, all the color combos.  I added the Martha Stewart doilies as a base and layered on top of them.  The photo was taken by my friend Melody during our fall family session.  Oh how i love it.

Thanks for swinging by today.  Hope your Thursday is lovely.
