Most days we just chill at home but I love it.
Don’t get me wrong, I love to be out and about
but I like to spend most of my time at home in my pj’s, hair in a bun, and rolling around the floor with my two little ones.
Some of the most precious moments I’ve witnessed have been because I’ve been home with my children.

I love it.
Tuesday’s and Thursday’s Cecily has school for a few hours, so that’s the one on one time I get with Charlotte, the house is quite, and I just focus all my time on her. Oh how I love just listening to her laugh, make noises, and watch her play with the toys that are all to herself!
Mon/Wed/Fri are our chill-er days. The days I hit the gym and the days I get to spend time with my girls.
Did I already mention that I love it?
I do,
I really,
really
do.
In a post a few months ago I pretty much spilled my guts out on moving here to Texas and how that has changed me. I wasn’t a fan of staying home and my attitude was a little different but since the move, I have done a complete 180.

I love seeing my kids learn and grow.
I love teaching them.
I love cheering them on.
I love seeing them get excited about little things like Ice Cream or the Park
and
I love how carefree and easy going they are.
All they need is love.
Each night, I tell myself tomorrow I will be better.
I’m so grateful that they are willing to look past my faults and still love me.
There is just something about being loved unconditionally by little people.
Would you not agree? I sure hope I’m not the only one who feels guilt sometimes.
Or maybe I am, I don’t know?
Anyway, It breaks my heart thinking how fast they’ve grown already. Some days are challenging and some days I think to myself, I can’t wait till they’re older but every time I’ve thought that, I’ve taken it back. I don’t want to get older and I want them to stay little forever.
I never knew what that felt like until becoming a mother.
I feel the same way! I always thought I wanted a career etc.. and don't get me wrong I do someday, but I am soo happy I can stay home with my girls. I ALSO feel so much guilt though sometimes... I feel like I could do more. I am so tired from crazy Camryn not sleeping that I feel like I don't clean the house enough etc... or let my 4 year old play the wii too much. (Confession) BUT.. we are home with them showing their love. Thanks for the post! I really wish we lived in Texas still so we could get together!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad im not the only one whos feels that way! But you are right, the fact that we are home with them makes a huge difference and you can tell the kids that have a parent at home versus the ones who are at a day care all day.
ReplyDeleteI soo wish you lived here too, it would be so fun to get our girls together!!!
I loved that post Alicia. You are the best mom ever and it is so fun to see how much you love your kids and they adore you back.
