The Eid's Have It: Three. What?

Three. What?

It’s the few days, and even weeks, leading up to the girl’s birthdays that I spend more of my time reflecting on how fast time seems to be going
than I spend on their actual birth day.

I cannot believe that I held a brand new baby Mikayla nearly three years ago. Once again, this week I will live with “two” for just a bit longer. Loving that I still have 7 days left until we add another finger to her age.

Her favorite line is currently “I be three on my Happy Birthday!!” That’s right. You will be. But you aren’t three just yet…give mommy her week.

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.
