FaceTime With Daddy

This girl loves her daddy. On weekdays Jordan is gone until supper time and I spend the day with Henley. But even still my husband is so very present in my daughter's life. At lunch-time we facetime with daddy and Henley loves it. I do not take for granted that I have a loving husband beside me as I raise this girl. I am so blessed.

In The Grass

Today is hard. Some days I am overflowing with motivation and some days I can't imagine getting off of the couch even for a moment. It seems the simplest setback can send my day in a totally different direction and I won't be able to recapture my goals. Sometimes all I accomplish in a day is taking care of my daughter's basic needs. Nothing more. I think it's ok. It does not mean I have failed and it does not mean I am a bad mother. I know where my worth comes from and my girl is so deeply loved.
