A Christmas Reminder for all the Young Moms

12/1/2014

4 Comments

 
So here we go. Thanksgiving is over and it's full-speed ahead. As you know, there's much to be done before Christmas. Especially for you "younger" moms. You know who you are. You've got little ones who still believe in the big guy in red. You're crazy busy. You're sleep-deprived. And some days you feel like you're being pulled in a hundred different directions. Especially this time of year. 

Now don't get me wrong. Christmas is a blast with little ones. But it's also a lot of work. There's the baking. The shopping. The decorating. And you do it all in the midst of potty-training or breastfeeding or dealing with a temper tantrum in the middle of Target. 

Anyway, I'd like to dedicate this blog post to you. 

The other day I came across this silly little poem. I wrote it several years ago, when my girls were little. I hope you enjoy it.

Zeck Family Blessings

To see us here, who would have guessed
the time it took to get us dressed. 
The tights, the bows, the fancy shoes, 
families with boys just have no clue.

Will Taylor smile? Will Maddie cry?
We soon began to wonder why
we put ourselves through all this stress
to find each little matching dress.

But someday they'll be on their own
and we'll think back on how they've grown.
We won't recall the extra stress,
we'll just remember we were blessed!
And you know what? It's totally true. 

Enjoy your little ones this Christmas season - and try not to sweat the small stuff. Above all, remember the reason for the season!

Until next week ...

Precious! Oh, they do grow too fast. Seems like it's crazy - and then it's gone. Such sweet days.
