thoughts.

On me: Boots: Hunter (kids). Adult version here. Jacket: H&M. (similar.) Striped hoodie: Old Navy. Bag: Kate Spade.  Jeans: Loft. (similar.)

On Hannah: Boots. Jacket.  On Ava: Boots. Similar dress. similar jacket.

I don’t realize how much my kids have grown until I see them in a picture.  It’s so subtle everyday, but then I see it right there in front of me and I can’t believe how fast time flies when you’re a mother.  My mom used to say that the days were long and the years short.  The funny thing is, even the days seem short now, and I wish I could slow it all down.  I mean, Ava still wants to cuddle, and be rocked at night (thank goodness for that) but she doesn’t look like a baby at all anymore, and I can’t believe how fast that went.

Anyway, I hope you have lovely plans for this Mother’s Day weekend.  I’m spending mine out in the sunshine with my five favorite people.
