Let them be little...

I know we as parents hear this a lot, but isn't it the truth: kids grow up so fast. They are only little once.  I don't know about any of you out there, but there sure is a lot of pressure to quickly raise your child infant into a pint size adult and stat!  Don't get me wrong- I look forward to seeing my children be self sufficient and be able to take care of themselves.  I especially appreciate their independence when I am in a rush to get out the door and need them to get dressed and ready so I can get the little other little one ready. But sometimes- like when I am looking back through scrapbooks at baby pictures- I realize just how quickly time has gone by and why oh why is there such a rush to make my children grow up  faster then they have to?  They only get to be little once so this is a reminder for me to be a bit more patient. To tie shoes when they ask me to. To let them play a little longer and be sillier a little more.  Maybe it's a reminder for you too!

In our house...

we do make-believe.

we daydream.

we play dress-up.

we create. we pretend.

we imagine.

we believe in heroes and princesses.

we tell stories.

we make messes.

we laugh. we love. 

Lately I have been thinking a lot about our  new house...and not just how I want to decorate it :) I have been thinking about the kind of home I want to create for my little family and at the top of that list is a home full of dreams, where anything is possible. My little guy asked me the other day if he thought humans might ever be able to fly.  Isn't that cool his little mind wants to believe in that?  I love it!  I want my children to believe in magic and fairy tales and happy endings for as long as possible.

End of the year gift idea

I made these little thank you's for all the school personal who helped out my little guy this year.  We moved just 2 1/2 weeks before school started, so he was the brand new kid.  I wanted to show my appreciation for everyone at his new school who helped during those first few months.  I included a gift card to In & Out along with it and just printed out my little saying above and taped it over the gift card.
