The older she gets, the more I realize these moments don’t just happen anymore. We have to make them happen. 🥹🥹 Life gets full so fast. School, practices, games, friends, schedules that seem to take over everything. And if we aren’t careful, the time together can slowly get squeezed out. So sometimes it looks like this. A quick Starbucks run. A few minutes in the car. Singing a song we both know by heart. It was nothing big or planned. Just choosing to be together. I’m learning that as our kids grow, connection doesn’t always come in long stretches of time. Sometimes it’s just a few intentional minutes where they know you see them, you enjoy them, and you want to be with them. I hope she always knows that when the day feels heavy, a drink, a song, and a few minutes with mom can make things feel a little lighter. @ellalangleymusic you killed it with this one. motherhood momofgirls preteen motherdaughter momlife raisingdaughters ellalangley parenting intentionalmom
