2008 in review (Or, what has inspired me this year)

These little guys (in 2005)...


...Who are now this big.


And him, my life partner, who is my source of balance and strength every day.



Quality time together as a family...whether on vacation or around the holiday table or simple, everyday things, like hanging out in our pajamas at home (or in this case, at a campground).



This awe-inspiring victory, and what it has meant for me, our children and the potential we can reach together...reminding me just how far we have come. 


The wonderful company of female friends who are trying-to-balance-it-all-dammit. And who can also relate to this stressful, crazy, but blissful time in our lives parenting little ones.


Believing in magic, and viewing the world with the hope and wonderment that my children see with every little thing that most adults take for granted.


The beauty of children in general, and what I learn from them each day...especially the lesson about being carefree and unapologetic about anything.

Ever feel like you're running on a treadmill...

...and not sure how much further you have to go?

That's how I feel right now, and have been feeling for a few weeks.

Am trying to get it together.

This working mom stuff and my aspirational attempts to do-it-all is breaking me.

Thank goodness for my kids and husband, who put it all in perspective. That's what really matters in times of general stress and busy-ness.
