The world I live in...

I live in a world of lost socks... but also a world of baby toes: sweet, itty bitty ones that big sisters like to kiss.

I live in a world of toddler tantrums... but also a world where that toddler notices everyone else's tears, too, and tries her best to soothe them with back pats and songs. 

I live in a world of sleepless nights... but I I also live in a world where, for this short time, I am able to provide everything my babies need.

I live in a world of "please be gentle with your baby sister!"... but also a world where these sisters have nothing but love for each other.


I live in a world where there isn't a lot of time or money for date nights out... but also a world where I've never wanted to spend my whole life with someone more than when seeing my husband as a daddy.

I live in a world where things are not all clean at once... but books are read, sleeping babies are snuggled and everyone is told they're loved.

I live in a world of frustration, exhaustion and overwhelming emotion, but I live in a world where love lives also.
