• A Mommy high

  I'm feeling very, very satisfied and pleased with my parenting lately. I just work so hard to be consistent and patient and I LOVE it when I see the fruits of my labor.
  Even though I sometimes throw up my hands with tears in my eyes (like when Mazie went through that "I'm scared and don't want to sleep anymore" phase) I am so thankful that the Lord continues to grant me clarity (eventually) and strength. We have an organized, cheerful home. My children feel safe and loved. Naps and bedtimes are (mostly) a happy time. Freya has a good routine that flexes depending on our day. Mazie walks herself to time-out when she's disobeyed (although not always quietly) and Freya has learned to sleep anywhere and both my ladies are so, so happy.
  I don't always get it right. I'm not claiming to be perfect. I just use common sense, pray often and love with all my heart.

  Now, if I could just figure out how to get more sleep ...
