I hope y’all have had a great week. I wanted to do a little weekend wrap-up. I feel like it has been a productive week all while adding school back to my plate. What have I learned this week? I was thinking about my time management, and it’s funny. Although I am a mama now and Mine and Madeline’s schedule can be so wacky, I’ve actually learned to manage time so much better than before I was a mama. This week proved that for me. My mindset is always on Madeline, so I know what has to be done for her no matter what and what’s best for her. I think this has happened by me allowing just a certain amount of time to do the little things (like taking a shower while she naps and such). And I’ve also learned to cut out all the silly things in life that I’d waste too much time on before I was a mama. Motherhood is just the most amazing job ever. You learn so much in such a short amount of time. And I get to do it all for such a precious baby girl.
There are two things I have to say about what I’m wearing in this picture: Chew Beads & Baby Carrier. This is how I do just about everything these days. Madeline always wants to be held (I’m not complaining because there is nothing I’d rather do that snuggle her). But I have tried so many different seats for her, and this is a winner because she can be so close to me, and I can use both hands. And chew beads? I never thought I would give in and buy these. But I did, and it ended up being a great decision. She’s gotten to where she loves to hold on to my necklaces (and tries to put them in her mouth). So I wear chew beads around the house, and Madeline loves them.
Here’s one final thought, and I’ll leave y’all with this: There are so many times when I find myself feeling weary and wondering if I can “just make it through.” But God knows what is best, when we need it, and how to bring it about. He is faithful through and through.
I hope everyone has had a great weekend so far!
Delightfully Yours,
I love this picture of you and Madeline! I have three sons in college this fall, so I know how busy school can be. You sound like you are off to a great start managing motherhood and school. Wishing you the best in the coming school year!!
Love,
