What do you want for breakfast?

Silas knocked on our bedroom door earlier this week. It was 7:30 am and Jesse and I had slept in. [image] Hi, {NAME}! Silas (10) knocked on our bedroom door earlier this week. It was 7:30 am and Jesse and I had slept in. When we responded to ask what he needed, he said: “I got up at 5:45 am this morning and got my bath taken, my hair fixed, and all my morning chores done. What do want for breakfast? I don’t have anything else to do so I thought I could make you breakfast!”. 20 minutes later, he brought us each a plate with scrambled eggs and a side of Ritz crackers on it. (We’d asked for scrambled eggs. The Ritz cracker garnish was his extra touch!). Mothering is hard work. And many times it can feel thankless and exhausting. But then you have moments like this and you remember that it is worth it! Mamas, keep going. Keep loving on your babes. Keep speaking life. Keep teaching and walking with your toddlers. Keep hugging and helping your middle schoolers. Keep leaning in and loving on your teens. Don’t give up! And in the middle of it all, look for and cherish those scrambled egg and Ritz cracker moments!
