Anyone else a little extra weepy lately?

Whether your child is graduating, celebrating, moving up a grade, or moving on, May offers many milestone moments.

These moments go fast, especially when you’re the one behind the scenes making the grad parties happen or packing the teacher gifts, or making sure the field day shirt is clean.

I encourage you to slow down and feel the feels when you can.

Here are some ways I’m slowing down to honor the milestones my family is experiencing:

•extra bedtime snuggles
•sharing fun stories through the school year
•attuning to my own needs
•spending extra time with other families experiencing the same sentiments
•look through photos throughout the school years (alone or as a family)
•reviewing school work with my kids-reflecting on how far they’ve come
•modeling that all emotions are welcome to my kids

Hey moms, I’m sending you the love this week and heck, this whole month. People often talk about the chaos in May, but that’s all the more reason to slow down in the smallest ways. Because when you stay present and savor these moments, you might just get to hang on a little longer.

I love them. And also…mom isn’t playing around.

We often use humor in our home to make our point, I wonder how they will respond to my funny/not funny presentation tonight?

Lately I’ve been noticing friction in the house and how much it adds to my invisible load. The small, unfinished tasks or the problems that exist every night (i.e. where is the remote?!)

These are small things by themselves but dang, they add up and I’m finally realizing it.

I’ve been contributing to this problem far too long by stepping over the piles, quietly picking things up without asking for help, etc.

It changes tonight (especially before summer!). Anyone joining this mom declutter coalition with me?!
