Loving Life!

We are having a relaxing morning here at the Eubanks' household. Daddy left for work and its just the babies and I. Breakfast has been eaten.. and now i'm sipping on my cup of Starbucks Pike Place Roast and watching my dear children play. Life has been amazing lately, and although I struggle everyday my children make the tough moments so very worth it.

Every mother has regrets and things she wishes she could change, and do differently. So i've resolved to view every day as a new beginning and a new chance to change who I am. A new day to be a better mother than I was the day before. To not lose my patience as many times or to let the dishes sit in the sink and play with the kids instead. These precious moments are fleeting and I know soon I will look back and wonder where these years went. I already can't believe my precious Olivia is almost 14 months! I am so blessed to call myself the mother of these children, and sometimes am so overwhelmed with gratitude to be a part of their lives everyday.

So that being said its time to take a deep breath, finish my quiet time while the kids are playing nicely and strive this day to be a better mom and wife than I was yesterday!

And the weather being this nice is going to help!! I can't wait for our daily walk later :)

Reflections of Motherhood

Saw this Video yesterday and Loved it. So nice to see I'm not alone in some of my regrets, or "if i only knew what i know now" If I could go back to before Noah was born I think I would tell myself to simply "research everything, and don't trust your dr." I would have not gotten Noahs circumcision that i so much regret now. So many things would have been different. But hey the past is the past and i'm learning to forgive myself for things I cant change.

So heres the video. ENJOY mamas

Its Friday!!!

The weekend is finally here! Not that Justin is off this weekend; but it's still nice to know the week is over. We have had a great week and we are loving life right now. 

I feel so blessed to be apart of the youth at Travis Rd. God is doing amazing things with these youth. I just pray that He will continue to use us as we surrender ourselves to Him. 

I cant believe my babies are both "toddlers" now. Olivia is 13 months and noah is 26 months. Its scary how fast time goes by. Such a huge reminder that life here is but a vapor. We have to take hold of the time we have and use it for His glory. I was reading through Ephesians yesterday and Ephesians 5: 15-16 says "Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. 

We are trying a new thing in our house. Yesterday the kids and I went for a walk! The fall weather is coming and even though it was still hot and humid the breeze was decent and it was nice to get outside and get exercise and a dose of vitamin D!! Now I am on a mission to find a double jogging stroller though. Easier said than done :/ 

We have also started going to a Bible study on Friday nights. Justin and I are learning so much. We are praying and beginning to change how our family does things. 

Oh and my sister is expecting her 2nd little girl this Jan! We couldn't be more excited for them!! We are so thankful that all of the complications are over and the baby girl is doing great! Her bump almost makes me miss mine. Then I remember the vomiting, the aches, the pains, the heartburn, etc and I don't miss the bump so much anymore

Well time to freshen my cup of coffee and start the day!! Lots of stuff to do today!
