Beauty

While most who have never been a stay-at-home mom think being one means sitting on the couch eating bon-bon's all day, we who have been or are in this position know that is just not true. It's a grueling, exhausting, dirty job. Diapers, dishes, laundry, boo-boos, dirt, mud, and crumbs are just part of the daily job description. But we need to see the beauty. Sometimes we have to look for it, and sometimes it smacks us in the face. Here are some of my beautiful moments:




 Megan's first real boo-boo's. They are beautiful to me because, after the pain, Megan loved them. When the scabs healed, she cried and asked me where her "boo-bops" went.
 During coloring time, Megan tried painting her nails with markers.

  1. I love the tip-toes picture. As mine gets taller and taller, I see less and less of the tip-toes...and more and more of the high-water pants! LOL

  3. Tip-toes are definitely a favorite - I will miss them when they're gone!

    Ruthann, I am so honored that God has used me to encourage you! Being a mom definitely has its challenges and we need to lift one another up, not tear each other down! So glad to share!
