Don't you love....


Don't you love having your entire kitchen smell like vinegar as you drench eggs (and the entire kitchen) in pastel/vibrant/rich easter dyes
Don't you love watching your children color and color and color eggs till no color resembles its original?
In fact, the only color resembled now is brown?

Don't you love when your children play 'mom and dad'?
And when the mom has to go potty
the green stained, exhausted, looking for a break dad holds all the babies?
Don't you love it when your bed hasn't been made, the house is a a mess, laundry hasn't been thrown in the hamper, but you'd rather capture a moment, then make sure all that is in order?
Don't you love watching your kids have a great time?

Don't you love it when other people (especially OLDER people are so sweet with your kids?)
Don't you love watching your kids succeed?
Don't you love seeing a picture that perfectly captures each child's personality!!!
Don't you love nature centers that host great events?!?!?!!!!

Don't you just love life??!?!!!
If no, then stop worrying about your love handles, the squished raisin you just stepped on, where really did that other sock go, how messy the closet is, putting away the winter clothes, your dirty toilet...
just be. just live. just love!!!
