Yesterday I was really struggling with the idea that I can no longer experience carefree moments or spontaneous adventures. Well, today instead of wallowing in”poor me”, I decided to be proactive! I took my daughter and husband outside and we all played in the sprinklers! It felt so great to run around in the water and laugh hysterically!
Sometimes in the rush of responsibility and parenthood I forget to find the joy in the everyday. My daughter’s laugh and her enormous smile when in tickle her! My husband’s lips on mine as he says good morning. These moments are perfect.
I need to make sure I don’t take them for granted.
Here is the smile that lights my heart on fire!

“Sometimes in the rush of responsibility and parenthood I forget to find the joy in the everyday.” Me, too. It’s like I’M SO TIRED ALL THE TIME HOW CAN ANYONE EXPECT ME TO DO ANYTHING ELSE. But sometimes you do manage to find the joy!
Also, your daughter looks a little like Brainiacal at that age–makes me want to dig out some of the old home videos. 🙂

Kids can find spontaneous carefree adventures in the small things we often overlook. Building a fort in the living room or playing in a giant refrigerator box is an adventure for a kid.
