I've been thinking a lot lately about life. I'll admit, something's gotten into me, and I think it's this beautiful baby girl God has blessed me with. She is growing so quickly, and I already feel like time is rushing by, and I worry that I'm missing things. Missing opportunities. Forgetting the details. I feel like I need to be a better person for my daughter. I see in her all the good that I want to be, and she makes me want to be better. What a priceless gift! I have so much to work on, where do I even begin?
A few weeks ago I really felt strongly that I needed to increase my spirituality so that I can be the best mom I can possibly be. I know I will need guidance from above. So an interesting thing happened - as I have made efforts to grow closer to my Heavenly Father, so many things come to my mind. I've made so many goals about how I can improve as a person so that I can be a good example to my daughter.
I want to be a better mother, a better wife, a better homemaker, a better cook, a better everything. I want to live a healthier, more active life. I've set goals to run a 5k in April, and a 10k in June. For you runners out there, I know that's nothin, but for a girl like me who does not work out, it's a pretty big deal. ;)
One small item on my list is to document the details. Avery deserves to hear about her life one day. And if I at least have stories and pictures on this blog, I won't forget the moments that make me smile.
So prepare yourself for an overload. And a lot more of this:

Ditto! All except the 5k and 10k bit. WAY TO GO though with your goals. Having a baby really makes you think about life...in every aspect; little and big. Crazy how such a sweet simple thing can throw what was once important out the window...and bring better things into light :). BTW--you are already an amazing person! And we need to introduce our two little gals!
Love it. I can't believe YOU are doing a 5k! Woot! Woot! Keep the pictures coming of your little Avery!
I love that baby! She is so overly adorable! Good luck on all your goals and I've got to say you started out the right way. . .it's always best to start with the spirituality, that seems to be the goal I work on last which is really backwards. Good for you! :)
Nat! You are a splendid person and mother. I LOVE YOU and the Ave Babe! Let me know if I can be of any assistance in reaching some of these goals...do you need a running partner? :) or a food taster? a babysitter? I here!!!
That is exactly why I blog. People ask me all the time how I stay caught up and all, and my reply is always the same. It's important to me. I want the memories recorded! I can't wait to see more of your darling little girl and good luck with your goals. You will reach them!
