Thank you for the reminder because I'm one of those Moms that needs a reminder every now and then to enjoy my kids and cherish the time I have to spend with them. Everything else CAN wait. My kids and family are more important than a clean house. Way more important.... So very well stated Isabel and so darn true.

Ironically, I wrote about this same issue myself not long ago as a result of another blog I saw, where the mother gave birth to a son who only lived for 16 minutes. I cannot even imagine what it must have been like for her or for Loralee. After reading both of those women's stories, I have an entirely new perspective on how my time should be spent. Thank you so much for posting this. It made me cry and made me so eager to get home to my little guy. And dude, I totally want a cupcake now! :) Reading things like that both terrifies me, and makes me feel so very blessed.

I vacuumed at 10:30 last night. I'll clean my bathroom while I'm getting ready in the morning. I multi-task and do a little at a time, that way I'm not overwhelmed. It doesn't always work out that way, but sometimes I have Maddy help me. She likes to clean toilets, go figure. :) I read her post a while back and it hits home for me, a little too close.
