Thank you for stopping by, Elizabeth! The late night thing started because I jumped into the Twitter party on Thursday night one week and stuck around for the prompt. You should join us sometime…it’s late, but it’s fun. Blessings to you…have a great week!

Hi Mel! I’m stopping by from FMF (I see you each Friday at the top of the roll, and since I’m a 2 pm writer–or this week, a Saturday writer–I sigh and think, I want to be like those ladies and be awake to read the prompt at midnight!). I love the picture of your daughter, headband and princess cake, as well as the pictures you sketched with your words. I was just thinking this morning what a GIFT this time is. My dear friend has to start working full-time this summer and it is a reminder to be grateful for the time I have at home with my boys (5 years and 20 months), even when the in-between times are tiring or unkind or whiny (me or them). Glad I stopped by!

It flies, doesn’t it? I’m so thankful for every little moment. Blessings, friend…thank you for stopping by!

So true! Those precious moments are what makes all the crazy moments easier to take in. The little glance they give you. The unprompted hug as the scurry by. It only takes a breath of a moment, but oh how they are so dear to our Mama hearts, aren’t they!? Thank you so much for sharing. And you are so wise to enjoy this little one as she is still little. My oldest is almost nine. Not yet a young man, but so not a boy. Sigh. It seems like he was just three, as well. Love, love.

I love that quote…it’s so true. That concept really challenges me to live each day, even if we’re waiting on something big. Happy weekend, sweet friend!

My boys are grown…one still at home. The days do o by so quickly but I’m grateful for all the moments had, the moments to come and everything in between. Beautiful post for this FMF.
Blessings.
