Sometimes life gets hectic...

It's tough to keep a house clean...

laundry folded

then put away,

dinner made...

cleaned up,

carpets vacuumed...

floors mopped,

just the basic day to day life 'stuff.'

Sometimes I need an obvious reminder of what's truly important during these early years in Quinn's life...to get it through my head that life isn't just about 'keeping' a clean house. In fact, it has very little to do with a clean house!

I found this meaningful quote by chance, and as a parent to a young child... it really resonated with me:

"While your children are little, cultivate an attitude of sacrifice.  Sacrifice your peace for their fun, your clean kitchen floor for their help cracking eggs...prioritize your children far and above and away the other work you need to get done. They are the only part of your work that really matters."

So now you're warned...

..next time you visit our home, it may be a mess!

(But filled with love!)
