Today was "one of those days" sure I am blessed to have a beautiful, in most cases very well behaved little girl, but tonight, her little body was possessed by some whiny, crying little toddler. ;) Does that ever happen with your kids? It happens with my little Maija angel ;) Anyway, after finishing our bedtime routine (bath, teeth, books), and feeling like I could be a contestant in something called "Canada's worst mothers" (I sure hope that show doesn't actually exist!) I sat down, and started reading, and looking through lds.org and preparing an upcoming YW's lesson. As I was looking through the web site, I came across this video.
Motherhood Series: “My New Life” video with Stephanie Nielson (NieNie)
It made me cry, it made me think, and then it made me realize how lucky I am, to have the life that I have. I'm lucky to have my sweetheart, my family, my faith, my Relief Society group, my mother, good friends, my health, and although when Maija is screaming her head off, and I'm covered in bath bubbles, tears, and buggies, even in those times, I am still incredibly blessed, even if for a moment I forget it, I'm also thankful for these reminders.
If any of you guys are interested I found a link to Stephanie's blog, it looks funny, and fun to read.

love it! I've read the nienie dialogues before, what a touching blog. but what I mean is, I love your post - at the end of the day when I look back on all of the tantrums and the messes, there are also the hugs and the funny things they say...
