Sometimes I get so caught up in parent hood that I forget the small details. My biggest hang ups all come down to the simple fact that I am trying to create mini us's. Do you know how long it took me to realize that? 17 years, 6 months 8 days, 4 hours and too many minutes. Now that I have realized that, my first instinct is to turn back time. To go back to that very moment when the simplest of cries bellowed from behind that blue curtain. Yet I am quickly reminded of all the milestones, the joys of laughter, the tears, the struggles and the heartaches that I would have to endure all over again. I need to remind myself that I have NOT messed them up. It is all a matter of learning and guidance, for all of us. For the last 10 years I have journaled our many trials and errors of parenting www.spinners2.blogspot.com We have guided them into both young and old teenagers now and although it doesn't stop here, it changed entirely. For now we are no longer creating mini us's. We are moulding them into perfect images of themselves. We are continually learning to teach them new material, new methods, and new ways to cope in this crazy world that goes before them. This new blog will be just that. A legacy for my kids. A way for me to share with them our trials, our mistakes and triumphs, all while being their parents. A lesson in life that they can always look back on and know that we did our best in raising them, and it goes much further then they can imagine. The fact that they are fearfully and wonderfully made.
Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
