A Few Thoughts To Share...

My mom sent me this list from a book called "Satisfy My Thirsty Soul" by Linda Dillow. She was commenting on young moms and how hard it is sometimes to find the time to do all the things you want to do, and she shared these thoughts...

Respond with love, always.
Read to your kids.
Give them space.
Kiss and hug them lots.
Take more deep breaths.
Relax and have fun.
Get them outdoors as much as possible.
Be consistent.
Praise. Praise. Praise.
Give thanks every day.
Encourage creativity and imagination.
Keep them safe and get out of their way.
Don’t make their fun for them.
Give out more treats.
Show them life is a ball!
And Remember: Time is flying by. They will not always be this little… ENJOY THEM NOW.

I'm not really big on New Year's Resolutions. But my goal for this year is to strive to be a better mom each and every day, and to have more patience with my girls. I thought she had a lot of good thoughts, and things that we young moms need to be reminded of.
