reminded

I haven't blogged in a long time. I forget to sit and take time to reflect on the big things in life and often dwell on the little things. I don't take pictures as often as I should because the background isn't just so, the house is a mess or the counters are cluttered. One day I will regret missing out on the "big things" which are often simple smiles or expressions or conversations. I think to myself I will remember that forever, but in reality how much will I remember 5 years from now when my oldest is 17 and my youngest are 10.

God help me to remember to reflect on the big things (my kids) and forgo the little things that wont matter in 5 years.

This is great, Dez. I'm happy to see you are writing again. I agree with everything here. I've been trying to remind myself more often that my focus needs to be on the things that are truly important, not what "feels" important now. Have a beautiful day!

Mission Statement


I would like our home to be clutter-free, inviting and peaceful. My goal is to decide which tasks I need to do or delegate each day so we can maintain a better, more organized lifestyle. My goals also include providing an environment where my children can learn to be productive and Godly people. I want my family and others to know that this house is one where they can be free to live simply, love deeply and laugh abundantly. I want to be able to invite friends over without having to clean up for three days beforehand.
