New year, new baby, new normal

Life with two small ones is challenging. There are many demands (especially from the newborn!), there are lots of tears, there are lots of adjustments to make - especially here at the beginning. But my new motto is to just take it one day at a time. I can't dwell on my failures from the day before, but I can learn and make today as good as possible. 

I only have one new year's goal this year: to be a great mom and wife! Within that goal I have many components, like keeping up with the housework, praying for Jeremiah, Zeke, and Levi every day, reading several parenting and marriage books, and doing something healthy for myself each day, to name a few. I feel good about this goal because it is something I want to invest my time in and there are many avenues of improvement on the pathway there! Plus, at this time in my life, it really is important to me that I focus on the stage of life I'm in and not miss out on these days with little ones. I'll never get them back and they are precious, precious memories. 

The Lord has blessed our family and life is good!
