Project || Valentine's Day with Toddlers

These two. They own this momma's heart. I was looking at pictures from lastyear's Valentine's Day post and could have cried. Time has such an effect on us humans.Especially the tiny humans. They've grown and changed so much - developing these beautifullittle spirits and personalities that I am positively addicted to. Said every parent everywhere.
I spent a solid hour manning the glue gun for this project.The greatest lesson I learned: the best gift I give my children every day is TIME with ME.They don't care about the fact that I haven't had time to shower or that I'm wearingmy yoga pants for the 4th day in a row. They just want me. Unbrushed teeth and all.
The laughter, the chatter, the light in their eyes - working on a project with momma.Turning off her phone, setting aside her laptop, putting down her tutoring project -and unlocking, opening the hearts of the little ones who need to know... they are loved.
Buttons, cardboard, and a hot glue gun. It's not about the numbers, the data,the projects... it's about the connection, the journey, the magic between a parent and child.Celebrating holidays with my littles is always special.
I want them to remember to stop and celebrate LIFE wherever they go,no matter how old they get... because momma did.
