No, we aren't perfect

I tend to brag on my family on social media a lot. Most of the time people put up with my braggy posts and I don't get any negative feedback. However every once in awhile like today I get a message or a comment from someone. Basically they are annoyed by my bragging, think I'm being fake or in one special message flatout call me a liar. So here's the thing NO, my family is not perfect. There are days when my kids make bad choices, when I'm disappointed and when this momma does too much yelling. However you will NEVER see me tear down my children on any social media site.  I will never bad mouth or shame them. There will be plenty of people who tear them down and attack them. I won't be a part of that. We will handle issues at home when we need to and that's where those issues will stay.  While I'm at it I won't be tearing down my husband either. Our families are important. They are precious. I am not fake I don't do fake. So if you have a problem with my posts uplifting my children you are more than welcome to remove me from your friends list.  Final thought: if our families are the most precious part of our lives why would we treat them as anything else. I won't allow someone to tear them down and I sure as heck won't be a part of tearing them down.

Little things

Today is one of those days where I'm super sentimental. Lots of little things making me smile and reminding of how proud I am of my family.  Like a daughter who gives away toys because she sees someone with less.  Listening to my son talk and laugh hysterically with his friend.  My oldest showing me pics of the girl he likes. I love that he shares that side of himself with me. I love that he always feels comfortable to talk to me about everything.  I love my family. I love how much we laugh. I love how we have inside jokes.  I love how we break into dance parties to celebrate and how the kids yell freedom on Fridays after school. When you really think about it all those little things are really the big things.  I'm so blessed with this awesome family to share all the little things with.
