“Being a mom isn’t for sissy’s.” I laughed out loud when my mom said that to me over the weekend. How true it is! AMEN + AMEN! My Mom has this incredible way of finding joy in EVERY moment. The good the bad the hard the happy. Her ability to stay positive is a trait that I’ve always admired. I told Jon this story last night after the boys were in bed + he so kindly told me that I do the same thing?! I cried. It was not the answer I had expected. A truly humbling moment for me to step back to + stop being so hard on myself. I’ve always been big on writing down the things I’m grateful for + trying to train my mind to recognize the positive throughout the day. I can see that when I am constantly recognizing the things that I have to be grateful for, the hard moments seem to get a little easier. Pat on the back for list making + positive living. I write a new word on my calendar each week to really focus on. My word last week was SMILE. So here you go, a quick list of moments or things I smile about.

  1. Jonathan Michael Parrish. Duh!
  2. RICE! My skinnydippin’ phone is like new today after it’s tub dive on Thursday.
  3. The COLLECT app. We streamed our daily captures with the Apple TV last night.
  4. Grandpa + Jonah singing Frozen on repeat.
  5. Grapefruit all day every day.
  6. Riggins pulling himself up in his crib by himself.
  7. Cody + Ash playing in the playhouse with all the grandkids.
  8. Jonah getting out every single ingredient to make a smoothie.
  9. Parks. Liberty Park in particular this week.
  10. Watching my sister pour her heart into what she loves at Bella Me Boutique.
