Lesley,
Thanks so much for sharing. I find it difficult to not get overwhelmed with the mundane household tasks that fill my days along with caring for my two little boys. I too really hate the never ending process of laundry... The washing, folding and putting away wouldn't bother me one tiny bit if after that it was finished; however, it's not and that drives me nuts.

That being said I am making a conscious effort these days to live in the moment. It's not a new year's resolution, since I believe that when changes are made it shouldn't be because of the date on the calendar. I have been trying to enjoy my small boys since they won't be small for long, not to get overwhelmed with it all and letting everything else that can wait, wait.

Thanks for the reminder that I am not alone in this "battle", for the continued fresh perspective and the adorable photographs that capture it all.

Happy New Year to you and your family.

I love this. My daughter showed me this same lesson last year, while I was doing the much hated chore of changing the sheets. Every time I "whoosed" the top blanket over the mattress, she would squeal and laugh, begging to do it over and over.

I want to learn to live in the little moments too, and to incorporate those little hands into more of the "need to do urgent" stuff that seems to overwhelm the important. What beautiful tiny reminders our girls are, to find Joy in everything, especially the mundane.

Thanks for sharing!
