It's the little things that matter most
When Kennedy attended her first elementary school before transferring to her current school, I sent her each morning with a sack lunch (it was all day Kindergarten). Each lunch included a little note I had written to her.
McGuire is going on his first field trip tomorrow and is supposed to bring a sack lunch. As I was asking him tonight what he would like me to include, Kennedy piped up and said, "McGuire do you want a note? Mom writes notes and puts it in your lunch. Do you want one too?" McGuire jumped out of his seat and said, "I DEFINITELY want a note! Make sure you put a note in there, mom!"
This was a tender reminder to me that it is the little things that mean so much to my kids. When I take the time to sit and read a book with them, play a game, or write a note THAT is what leaves an impression. Not, that the dishes were done, clothes were folded, or the menu was planned.
My heart is overflowing with love for my sweet children and the opportunity I have to be their mom. I am truly blessed!

SO sweet! I can't wait to do that for my kiddos. Thanks for this sweet reminder and for being such a great example to me! I love you and your little kiddos too!
What a great reminder for all of us...kids of ALL ages need those kind of things from their Mom's :) I forget that on occasion because mine are all grown up. Enjoy those moments Mir...we miss you and your adorable family.
Mir,
You are such a wonderful Mom! Thanks for always being so wonderful to our little miss Kennedy!
