Little Moments

I admit I have terribly neglected this blog, but I am ready to get back on the bandwagon. I need to keep writing. For me.

I'm feeling refreshingly optimistic - likely due to the the promise of Spring around the corner and the joy I get from planning my son's (second) birthday party (there are few things I love as much as celebrating my son).

I'm starting to carve time out from my busy day to do little things for myself. Read a few chapters of a book. Do a quick 15-minute exercise. Take the time to sit down and write a few things out.

And the more I've thought about my blog (and how I don't want to be a terribly boring blogger), the more I've realized this blog is about me and my family. And though our life is very ordinary, it is filled with beautiful little moments. These are the little things I want to focus on so that many years down the road, I will have a beautiful collection of memories to look back on.

I am going to start right now with a short and sweet phrase my son says that never fails to make my heart melt: "Ah loo" (I love you).
