I watched my 1.5 year old give me a sly devilish smile as he climbed on top of the coffee table waiting for me to direct him to get off or pull him off myself… for the 10th time this evening. His cute chunky cheeks are hard to ignore. His fierce little grin, while he chuckled at mama, still melted my heart. While I was exhausted from repeating myself over and over again, I realized that he sure is growing up so fast, just like his nearly 3 year old brother (who happened to be running circles around our living room). That’s when I realized… time is FLYING BY.
As a working mom of two toddlers, my days are hectic and exhausting, just like any other mom. Sometimes my stress levels are too high, sometimes I wish I could go hide in the pantry eating snacks like that twizzler eating mom… and more often than not, I am not fully appreciating the precious and limited time I have with my two boys. That is one reason why I wanted to start this little blog of mine, to remember all the moments, list all our accomplishments and see the growth we have as a family.
The other reasons I wanted to start this blog was to document my journey as a fairly new mom, learning new things, dealing with challenges and everything in between. Being a mom is tough, being a working mom is challenging, being a mom of 2 kids under 2? Let’s just say I am glad we survived that first year! I truly am “Flying by the Seat of My Mom Jeans” in this whole parenting journey and have a lot to learn. So learn with me, laugh with me, connect with me. Grab your mom jeans and come fly away with me too!
