Karenna snapped this photo today, capturing the blur of the morning. Kids running amok, half-clothed, getting out of jammies and refusing to put on actual outfits fit for public, me with pouffy bedhead and my trusty cupcake robe, a huge vat of honey for toast dangling from my hand, dishes strewn all over the counters, and a dog peeking around the corner.
The days pass by in such a flurry that before we know it, our girls will be grown and gone and I hope they remember the rhythm of these mornings, their momma in her homely robe, the warm honey on their toast, and how safe it all made them feel.

I love this so much.
I truly feel like they will…remember the chaos as being kind of wonderful. Safe and wonderful :)
I love this too. Thanks for the reminder that the chaos is really kind of wonderful :)
How very Vanity Fair! I think you’ve got a young Annie Lebowitz on your hands. Ps I can’t find the dog.
Cayla, look right next to the honey bucket. :)
I haven’t commented on a blog in months but this was so perfect and so beautiful(!) and exactly what I’m loving these days!! Can’t get enough of living in the moment reminders :) Thanks :0)
Love it!
I also wanted to leave a comment on the next (last?) post but it won’t let me. Because, you know, book talk! I want to read both of those first two novels that you listed, so let me know how they are. I am currently reading Life After Life by Kate Atkinson, and it is a real winner. I highly recommend it. :-)
