Right now I'm...



--  Trying to complete an infinite number of tasks in a finite amount of time.

--  Betting you know that exact feeling.

--  Looking forward to seeing our barn being transformed into a garage.

--  Wishing my dog Scout would stop wanting me to take him outside every 30 minutes.

--  Thinking about the big dance this weekend and how it will be the first time leaving the girls there instead of staying with them. 

--  Smiling cause they are both super excited about that.

--  Trying to put into words this certain stage of mothering I find myself.

Oh, girl! I so know that feeling! Ours took place when we left them at the 4-H dance. We lived too far from town to go back home so DH and I went to the bookstore, shared a coffee, and browsed through aisles of books. Dance night for the kids became date night for us. Worked great!

Been at least a year since I have visited your blog Dana. For some reason it just popped into my mind. I am SO HAPPY to see that your blog is still FABULOUS and pics and quits are still AMAZING! Your blog is the reason I splurged on a fancy camera a few years back.

Anyways, I still LOVE your blog! And wow your girls have grown.

Such excitement happening.

As for the big dance, I had no problem letting the kids go off without me since I never went with them before. It's that shy/introvert thing I have going on. ;)

Yes, it is scary in some ways (like when my boy went off to college-- how dare he leave home!) and exciting in others.

Never thought of it becoming a date night for parents. Dang, should of that of that. :D

Enjoy the excitement, take care of yourself, and that little dog going out might be saying take some time for yourself.

Happy creating. :D

Calm that mothering panic that is brewing, exhale, let just a little bit go, and enjoy their happiness you did! I feel it too, x

It's so hard to let them grow. This song will make you cry. It always does me and I have boys. http://youtu.be/rcfgK4epT-M

Mothering, isn't it the hardest job in the world? Thank goodness it happens day by day and you get to adjust slowly to their independence.
