As many know, parenting is filled with sacrifice, challenges, endless repetitive tasks and lots of lost sleep. It is also filled with cute conversations, heart-melting memories and a connection that defies explanation and reason. There are times, when two tantrum toddlers, sticky sunscreen, loads of jelly stained laundry and cranky bedtimes get the best of us and we lose sight of the magic. But after many hard lessons of life, we find that most days we really are filled with gratitude, overwhelmed by the sacred moments of ordinary days, small interactions that connect us to one another, to God, to the thrill and mystery of life. Hearts and minds bonded over finger paint, brownie batter and (last) first haircuts. Yes, that is Clara licking brownie batter off her foot.
