"Do the things you most enjoy. Do them often. Stock up. When you discover something you love, do more in love." -A. Stoddard
My sister Elizabeth bought me this book Things I Want My Daughters To Know for Christmas and winding down with a quick chapter a few times a week before bed has been a wonderful ritual. Alexandra Stoddard does such a beautiful job encapsulating all those small life lessons we hope to pass along to our daughters...and in reading her words it's allowed me to refocus on the things I still want for myself and for Lee. It is so easy to get lost in the world of being a mama 24-7 but in finding even a moment or two for myself to think & plan & figure out ways to keep myself thriving---yoga, quick meetup with a friend, a walk to and from the park, fresh flowers, trying new restaurants, decaf soy mistos, a candle/tea/book before bed all come to mind---I know I'm doing a great favor to who I am.
