So, Cotton...

You inspire me. You really do.

You have a lot of kids, they are all absolutely BEAUTIFUL, and you seem to have the energy and creativity to make every day really special for them all, young and old. [Especially holidays.]

Question: How do you do it?

    Don't worry, me either. I have only ONE kid but I can't see to do everything I would like to do. I had such a hard time just to make some cards pit of paper so that Matt could scribble on them... and get everything ready for when H came home from work... how they do it? They are SUPPER MOMMAS!!!

    Oh, you guys! I almost didn't even see this post, but I'm so glad I did. You guys are too much. Very sweet. Made my day!!!

    I want to address the having it all together thing...I read an article a while back that explains it really well. https://onemoresoul.com/news-commentary/the-tunnel-of-parenthood.html

    You guys are still in the tunnel! It gets much easier, you'll see. And I definitely had my struggles in the tunnel! Oh, there was no bath painting then, no baking either! But after you've seen years go by and looking back at what you remember most and loved most, you know what to do to make the times special and memorable for those little people. And you get a few years before they'll remember anything anyway :)

    I also need to mention, its not like I don't struggle now, it's just different.

    I'm happy to "inspire" such nice girls! But really, I'm just showing you the fun that's ahead for you. Benny was my first baby since I've been "out of the tunnel" and it really is SUCH a difference. I feel like I'm seeing and appreciating things like never before. And I say all the time how wonderful he's been for our family. He's just this little ball of love bouncing around our house. Amazing how things just evolve.

    I think the world of you too, cotton! It is no secret how much I look up to you! In fact, JKgym you too!

    Thank you for offering the article as a resource for us! I try so hard to make everyday count. Ale in every moment, smell, and sound of Bo! It helps so much to have you here on the BMB! I lost my mom, and I have no idea what I am doing! I am so lucky to have you and Gym to keep motivating me to raise happy and healthy babies!

    THANK YOU so much for admitting you struggle. I am in downward swing right now....things get better everyday, and today, this article really helped!

    You are the best, and I know your family knows it! You do not just say you are a good mom! YOU ARE A GOOD MOM! And a great example to me.
