I love this! “Embracing the chaos” has been a mantra for me since #2 arrived…. a way for me to let go of the little things that I can’t stay on top of right now. It has really allowed me to enjoy all of the wonder-filled moments, as crazy as they are! The pictures are beautiful and tell a lovely story. 🙂
Hard, really hard, for me to let go of the little things, but I am stopping to look around every once in a while so I don’t miss anything.
As Ferris says, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”
