Some of the greatest moments I have with my kids are when we do an unplanned craft project. We don't run to the store for fancy supplies. We go to my super unorganized grocery sack filled with pieces of felt, some sparky paper, pipe cleaners, glue sticks, scissors and of course.. Googly eyes!
At Christmas time it was a red plastic cup reindeer with a red nose, pipe cleaner antlers and the googly eyes.
This time, in honor of Valentine's Day, we made felt heart cards. Yep, with googly eyes again. What can I say, my kids LOVE them!
I wish I could say I had these special moments with my kids really often. Sadly, I allow the craziness of life and tasks around the house to dictate the amount of time I take to build memories. And that's just what it is.. Building memories with my babies that will last longer than the clean dishes/laundry or mopped floors.
So my advise to you (and mostly to myself) is to enjoy the time with your children. Yes, the house needs to be cleaned and the laundry needs to be done. But don't neglect the small moments of time you do have to build special lifelong memories with your little ones.
Take time today to love on your kiddos, spend some time with them and build lasting memories!
From our crazy, googly eye loving home to yours... Happy Valentine's Day <3
