This year, with all the chaos going on in the world around us, something changed in me. For some reason, a frantic feeling crept up on me as I watched my kids growing older. Time is fleeting, and I realized that I was desperately going to miss all the tender moments with my kids. Sooner than I would like to admit, the day will come when they no longer want me to hold their hand or kiss them goodnight. This realization hit me like a ton of bricks, so lately, I have picked random days to throw on a dress and call my mom to come get pictures of us. I quit worrying about losing some weight and waiting for the perfect time or outfit, and I savored the moments and the opportunity to turn them into everlasting memories. And you know what, these are some of my favorite pictures!
