Been thinking about “time” a lot lately–probably because I never seem to have enough! But I’ve also been thinking about the “time” I have with my family.
Attempted a couple of layouts to express a few of the feelings I’ve had recently.

JOURNALING: I’m close to my grandma so it’s been important to me that my kids spend time and get to know her too. We were able to stay at her house for a few days this summer. It was the first time visiting since my grandpa passed. It was different and hard, but still sweet. We didn’t do much, just sat and chatted and watched the kids play and spent time together. Time together that is now so precious since I don’t know how much longer it will last.

JOURNALING: Ryan’s 5th birthday has been the hardest for me so far. I think because I’m realizing he is no longer a baby or toddler. I told him he wasn’t allowed to grow anymore and he said, “But mommy, I’ll still be your little boy until I’m like…30!”

JOURNALING: Most days I struggle to find a balance between things that must be done and things that can wait and things I should do but don’t want to do and things I want to do but feel guilty doing, and then I have these moments when I panic. And I realize that my kids are growing so fast, and their childhood-time is so limited. Nothing is as important as soaking up every moment I can with them.
Taking “time” this weekend to watch this with my family. Looking forward to some inspiration.
