Soundly sleeping. I tiptoe in to listen to them breathe and whisper one last “I love you.”
The baby wakes. We snuggle and she falls into a milk-induced slumber.
I try my best to memorize every moment with God’s sweet blessings.
Yet, time keeps marching on. I search for the pause button, but it eludes me.
12, 9, 6, 3, and 6 months.
Freeze.
Pause.
Do not pass go.
No matter how hard I try, the moments keep flying by and I am not sure I am soaking them in and memorizing them quickly enough.
In the midst of trying to get my life and home organized with weekly goals, I don’t want to lose sight of the reason I do what I do every day.
My precious children and husband deserve my best, but reaching goals isn’t what make a life worth living. It’s the people you’re reaching them for.

Welcome to Blessings Overflowing! My name is Jackie. I am a wife and mom to 5 kids. I'm so glad you stopped by my little corner of the blogosphere where you will find me rambling about sewing, crafting, gardening, cooking, my family and who knows what else.
