Family traditions, the stuff memories are made of. Wondering what my children are going to remember of the family traditions in our home??? Halloween, not generally my favorite holiday, is such a fun holiday for kids, why do I sabotage it with my irritation? I just don't get the point. Continually I feel that I am not doing enough, not investing enough in this thing called traditions. So I guess one could say traditionally I suck at making the sweet stuff happen for the kiddos under my roof. Ruby was a pirate and Esther was a fairy, they got loads of candy it was a win, not a convincing we are going to see this team in the playoffs win but we won.
Overall I know they know they are loved, that their dad and I work hard to provide for them. But the extra stuff that's where I question my ability to provide....... What's a super mommy to do????
I could......
#A Just be good with the way it's rolled for the last 16 years
#B Obsess about what is not me, but is every other mommy who has their Martha Stewart/ Family Circle/ Country living card?
#C Start today little by little to plan for small changes, that potentially can yield big impact. Yep that's what I am going to be on the lookout for small things I can do to make the overall "Traditions" big picture look a little brighter at the Smith house!! With Thanksgiving and Christmas on it's way quick, if you could help a God-Chick out and share some traditions it would be so appreciated.
I am so thankful that God is into the details of my life and he cares about my mother heart.
Fast or slow life is going to happen. Big time or tent city you have to do this thing called life. Sharing my steps,missteps,joys and tears is my goal. For you to bust out of ruts, think differently. My story is being written every day by grace and so is yours. Thank you for reading be blessed.
