Sometimes… I don’t take enough time to just sit back, sip a cup of tea and think about all the things in life that I’m thankful for.
Sometimes… I get too wrapped up in everything I want and all the goals I have for myself that I forget everything that led me up to this point and everything that brought me to where I am today.
Sometimes… I forget to reflect on where I am and instead focus on how much farther I have to go.
Sometimes… I get too wrapped up in the numbers game of blogging and forget that writing is something I’ve always fallen back on. Writing’s always been that one thing that was there for me. My pencil and notebook were always there waiting for me after a long, hard day.
Sometimes… I forget that life is about the little things. It’s about Alea’s snuggles, her silly “magic words,” and staying up late with Cory and eating brownies + ice cream and giggling about how stupid we were when we were young(er).
Sometimes… I dream about what it would be like to have all the money in the world and not have to worry about those upcoming bills.
Sometimes… I take a step back + realize that money really isn’t everything.
Sometimes… I feel inadequate and like I could do so much more to be a better mom for Alea.
Sometimes… That mom-guilt creeps up so bad and I feel guilty for all the time I spend doing homework, studying, and away at class & clinicals. So guilty in fact that I recently bought Alea more princesses for her princess castle. Now that’s just pathetic.
Sometimes… I sneak into Alea’s room at night, sit on the edge of her bed and just cry because I can’t believe how fast the time is going by.
Sometimes… I have no idea how I got so lucky to be given such a beautiful little girl. I’m so not worthy, but she makes me feel like the luckiest person in the world.
Sometimes… I get fed up with all the hate in the world. All the violence + death + innocent lives lost. I get sick of the media glorifying the person behind the horrific acts and forgetting about the innocent lives lost.
Sometimes… I get scared that I brought such a sweet, innocent, little child into such a dark + scary world.
What do you think about sometimes?

LOVE this post…a great reminder to us all
This made me tear up. I have a thought of these same fears too!
Babies do grow so quickly? Don’t they? It makes my heart ache!
I love this. Why do our babies have to grow so quickly?! And worthy, you ARE!! Alea is smart and beautiful and kind.. none of which she’d be without an amazing mama like you. We have the huge responsibility of shaping our children and molding them into somebody wonderful.. and you’re doing just that. Therefor, you ARE worthy. Worthy of SO much love. I love you lots and am so lucky to have you as one of my best friends. And, remember that while there are lots of dark & scary things in our world.. there’s also a lot of sunshine and hope. Hopefully our kids can help to brighten the future!
I think that is one of the sweetest posts. We bloggers are so scared to let others know much about our personal lives, however I think as readers we appreciate the reveal of our favorite bloggers. It makes us feel more connected. I really loved this post. Thank you so much for your sweet “sometimes.”
Love, Richelle from Lynn + Lou
Sometimes…I wonder why this whole parenting has to go so fast. And then I get a nose blown right into my shirt at the doctor’s office 🙂
I love this post though. It takes a lot to be honest with yourself on these things. Love love love!

sometimes…I wonder why bad things happen to good people. And what it would be like to just leave everything behind and move with my husband to Europe for a year.
Just found your blog. I recently started following you on IG but hadn’t visited yet. I adore it! I also saw somewhere that you are a revolt fitness blogger. Maybe I’m wrong. But I have been invited to do it too so I was just looking for some motivation from other bloggers who had started.
Anyway, nice to “meet” you 🙂
aw it is so important to remember the little things and appreciate it them – i’m definitely trying to remember to do this more as i get old(er) 🙂 and it really is soooo crazy how time just flies sometimes. hope you’re having a lovely weekend!
