Happy Monday! A lot has happened this past month over here at Domicile 37. I have been extremely busy not only with blogging but in my personal life as well. 



I normally do not write much about my personal life but I felt inspired to do so. The month of May has been very tough for me, my children have been sick off and on. Actually more ON than off. My girl's picked up lice from school, my washer broke and my Dyson went out on me. It literally has been a sucky month. The reason I decided to write a small snippet of my life behind the blog is because I had a mommy moment that really made my day. Despite me being stressed 75% of the time and my kids being sick this month and all the other stuff that has occurred, I feel blessed to have children who understand that all I do, I do for them. They see how hard I work and they try so hard to make me happy, just as much as I want them to be happy. 

As I was getting ready for church, my baby girl was watching me put my makeup on and said to me, 

"Mommy, I hope I am just like you when I am older," I responded by asking her, "even when I am upset?" She replied, "I do not like it when you get mad at us but I know that you still love us when you are mad you are just disappointed in the choice we made."

This was not the first time I heard this statement, every now and again they will say something like this when they are playing or when we are having one on one time. This time it just felt different, like the world was quiet and all I heard was this tiny voice, it was like she knew how I have been feeling...she knows my heart. She knows, they all do and sometimes I forget that, but when I hear the sweet comments they make it makes me feel like I am doing something right.  I love my children and I am happy that they can feel my love even during stressful times. I thought I would share this small piece of my life with all of you, Happy Monday!

  1. Love this. As mothers, we are harder on ourselves than anyone else. It is great when our kids say just what we need to her

    1. Thank you! We are hard on ourselves because we want the best for our kids. Crazy to think but my kids are like my best friends...they know when I am happy, sad, upset, they truly try to say and do things to bring a smile to my face even if it is a crazy dance. Thanks for stopping by Samantha!

  2. What a lovely post! It's so hard when it seems that life keeps throwing us more and more difficulties. It seems to me that your children have already learned so much from you!
