Messes

The other day I was complaining to TJ that I just could not keep a clean house with 4 kids.

I cannot keep up with them and all of their things that are just everywhere.

I tend to get stressed and crazy if my house is cluttered and chaotic.

But then I kinda had an "Aha" moment.

I love a clean house but I can't appreciate the clean if I have never experienced the dirty.

I am grateful for these sweet kids that make messes over and over again.

It means that I have life happening in my house and that is what I LOVE.

I am trying harder to be okay with the messes and little people stuff everywhere.

Soon the toys and the barbies and the fingerprints and yogurt smears will all be gone.

I need to embrace it while it is here.
