It's Always the Little Things that Save Us

Life is puzzle, and it's the little moments that make the big picture.

As a parent, it's so easy to get excited over the big things:
  • Family vacations 
  • Big milestones
  • Graduations (yes, even Kindergarten graduation!) 
Celebrate those big moments, mama! They are important in the lives of your child. Some of my fondest memories are family vacations. I'm a huge proponent of family vacations - even a quick weekend trip! Vacations are one of the easiest ways to boost your family bonds and allow siblings the chance to bond with each other. But that's another post for another day! 
​
But it's important to value the every day moment, the sometimes routine moments that we enact every day. 
  • ​Eating dinner together 
  • A gentle cuddle and a lullaby before bed 
  • Letting your child pick the fruit when you're grocery shopping
  • Feeding a wiggly 9 month old baby oatmeal  
  • The pitter-patter of little feet followed by a hug from a bed-head little boy 
Each of these "normal" moments is an opportunity to infuse love into your child's life. You're gifted dozens of these moments each and every day. It's not just the big moments that you share love. It's those little moments, day in and day out. 

Why are the little moments so important?

It's the little moments that save us. The sound of a loved one's voice after a no-good, rotten day. The hug of a spouse after tough week. To a child, those little moments are a lifeline. How often did you just "need mommy" when you were little? (Or a grown adult?) How often do we just need that connection with another person to save us? To make a bad day turn good? To ease the stress of a bad day at work or school? 
It's the little moments that save us - children and adults alike.
