525,600 Minutes

There are moments in our lives which we hold so dear. Moments which take a place in our hearts as memories full of love, joy and peace. I am grateful that over the past several weeks I have been blessed with so many moments such as these, where I have taken more time to spend sitting with my daughter on the couch, more time to sit with my daughter as she reads some of her first books, more time to snuggle with my baby, who will soon be old enough to be held accountable for his own decisions, and more time to spend with close friends and family.

3,800 minutes washing/loading/unloading dishes each year...

2,500 minutes hanging and adoring pictures my children make for me, each year.

120 minutes each year decorating for the most joyful holiday of the year (33,600 minutes spent loving the feeling it creates and the excitement and meaning of the holiday).

3,120 minutes practicing one of my favorite instruments each year.... not nearly enough to become better at it, but probably enough to enjoy it!

3,650 minutes spent each year hoping that one day I can play this piece of music... one of the most beautiful pieces of music that keeps me feeling the way I do about my sweet hubby!

NOT NEARLY ENOUGH TIME on this contraption, but I am getting better!!

3,600 minutes reading from these each year. (Next year's goal... 7,500 minutes) For now, my goal is to finish reading before Z's 8th birthday. Nearly there!!

525,600 minutes each year thinking about how incredibly blessed I am to have grandparents and great-grandparents for my kiddos.

525,600 minutes I spend each year loving and feeling so tremendously grateful for this awesome blessing God has given me.
