Whenever I am out and about with my two under two - I get stopped at least once or twice by complete strangers who comment on how I "must have my hands full" or "wow, you must be busy." But, I have to say, my favorite question from moms, past and present, is "how do you do it?"
This brings me to my new philosophy on life that I'd like to share. Well, it's not new....but it is new to me.
And that philosophy is that life is what you make it to be.
Seems like an easy concept to understand and grasp for most people...but in reality, it's a harder concept to apply.
On a daily basis, I now make the concioius effort to either make things easier or harder for myself. I have come to realize (and most importantly, accept) that I need to just pick and choose my battles with Ethan (who doesn't put up much of a fight - yet) Hailey (who always puts up a fight), Kona the dog (who does NOT listen whatsoever) my husband (surprisingly we rarely fight) - and even battles with myself.
But I wasn't always this accepting of changing my set-in-stone ways. It takes time and lots and lots of patience - but every day is well worth the effort of making my life as easy (or as hard) as I want it to be.
