Motherhood is messy. Parenting young children is a blessing but the exhaustion is real. The chaos is real.
It can be hard to have perspective when you’re living in the thick of it.
The saying is true: the days are long and the years are short.
I wrote this to help remind myself to pause, take a breath and remember that these days won’t last. Make memories amongst the mess.
Toothpaste on the mirror,
porridge on the floor,
scribbles on the wall,
I blink and boom there’s more.
Things I haven’t cleaned yet,
things I need to do.
Endless mess and chaos
I never get ‘round to.
It won’t always look like this,
won’t always be this way,
this stage won’t last forever-
I’ll miss it all one day.
