The girls helped me take the photos this week of the grocery haul! Clay brought in all of the groceries from the car, and we set it all up on the table for the photo.
By help, I mean that they begged for any and everything that they saw me pulling out of the bags!
Rosy took the new container of oregano and pretended to season everything in the house! It was a good reminder to me that little eyes are ALWAYS watching me. She has seen me season meals with different spices and just started to do what she’s seen.
This makes me remember to always be mindful about my attitude and actions around the girls!
Just yesterday, I was thinking about how much being a mama changes EVERYTHING!
Things that I used to think would be so exhausting, I no longer bat an eye at! It truly is the BEST job in the entire world. I love being mama to my sweet little girls!
