The Eid's Have It: When it’s too quiet.

When it’s too quiet.

Too Quiet. If you are a parent to a toddler, you know the quiet I am talking about. The quiet that screams to you; somebody is getting into trouble.

In our house, the quiet was compounded when I didn’t see or hear the dog or the toddler. This cannot be good.

Lucy knew exactly why she was to be quiet. Who wouldn’t want a bowl of treats for a midmorning snack? Mikayla sure thought it was a fantastic idea. Lucy’s mid section should thank me, as I quickly stepped in and took the snacks away.

Why Do I blog?

Welcome. Why do I blog? I blog for my two little girls so that when I am long gone, soaking up guilt-free sun rays, laying on a big fluffy cloud up in Heaven, they can remember. They can remember the simple things. The little things. Those things that are small to everyone else, but mighty to this mommy's heart. I want my children to know that not only the major milestones were remembered, but also the little milestones. Her first bike ride, her first bee sting, the first time she planted seeds in the garden. They will both know, not only were they loved deeply, but also the magnitude of that depth. Why not just journal? Because part of me hopes that in my day to day writing, someone out there in this mighty World can relate. Can relate to one little thing that runs through all of us--the desire to remember the times that made us laugh, smile, cry and most importantly, treasure our loved ones.
