This morning was one of those mornings where I had a lot of things on my agenda however I kept feeling like I needed to be else where. So after dropping my girls off for Tuesday play date at grandmas I started to drive and soon realized where I needed to be.

I am so thankful that I could take time this morning to serve my Savior and Heavenly Father in the Temple. It helped ease some of my stressed and worries of the past few weeks.

I am leaving now with calmness and a happy heart knowing that I listened to that still small voice and followed that prompting.

This past week has been a great week. What made it a great week? Well. I decided to stop being "mean mom" as my 2 year old had recently calling me. I had been stressed and have had no patience.

I decided Monday that this has to stop. I need to be a happier mom. I need to savor this time in our life. So I made a conscious choice and made more of an effort to be more present in my kids life.

I started by getting up early. Reading my personal development books. Getting in my workout as early in the day as possible. We started going to the park everyday, going for walks, having picnics, and playing. We turned off the iPad more. We are staying busy with errands. I stopped obsessing on whether I got the house cleaned or if they got their clothes dirty.
