Scentsational!

Oh lucky you! I am on holiday break with my kids for the next week and a half, so brief with today's entry, I shall be.

Today I started going thru the numerous photos I took during my family Christmas celebrations. In an effort to fill this space I hope you don't mind me sharing special moments with my kids, husband, siblings, inlaws and their families.

"You will never have this day with your children again. Tomorrow they'll be a little older then they were today. This day is a gift. Just breathe, notice, study their faces and little feet. Pay Attention. Relish the charms of the PRESENT. Enjoy today, it will be over before you know it."

So, from this momma who has literally seen her 4 children's feet grow in front of her eyes: Be still for a moment. Breathe in the family celebrations, as well as the normal events: your child falling asleep in your arms, eating cereal, coloring, blabbing in the backseat of the car, telling you about their school day...You get it. Relish in it.
