Dear Future Self | In Honor of Mother’s Day

Dear future self,

You are going to want to remember these days.  The feel of them snuggled up in your lap on the couch reading books.  The sound of dance parties in the kitchen to the Greatest Showman soundtrack.  The smell of fresh mountain air on a family hike.  The taste of chocolate chip pancakes every Sunday morning.

Today is no extraordinary day. Today is far from perfect.  There are dishes in the sink and laundry that needs to be put away.  The kids have been sick for what feels like forever, and you can’t your house clean enough to keep up.  It’s raining and snowing, and you are longing for the sunshine and warmth.  

Slow down, Mama.  Take a breathe.  Embrace the chaos of motherhood and the messes they leave behind.  These are the days you will miss.  Because her top tooth is just about to break through the surface, which means she won’t have that adorable gap in her smile ever again.  And the way he always asks you to strap his shoes “super-duper tight” every time we leave the house.  You are the only one in the world who can get it tight enough.  

When you look back on these collection of moments, that’s when you can truly see the magic. These are the tiny details of their childhood that you want to preserve. And you want to remember them exactly as they are today, before they grow up on you.
