Those melt my heart moments!

As a busy homeschooling mum of 3 I really hold onto the what I call, "melt my heart" moments.

I am a person who gets very overwhelmed easily. I like to be busy and am a bit of an over achiever at times! Today is a good example. I was meant to be having the day at home to take it easy and relax, just enjoy the kids after an extremely busy week full of birthday parties and play dates. BUT I started my day by beginning to make brekky, but after putting milk in my thermomix I started thinking about dinner...."oh I may just put dinner on while Im in here" I thought to myself. So in go the onions and garlic into the thermomix!!!!! Hmmmm now I knew I forgot something.....my smoothie I was in the middle of preparing! So I had to rescue the onion and garlic and pour the milk out and restart the soup and decided to hand shake my smoothie and instead of a berry one I had a mocha one.
So the soup was ready, I had to make some bread to go with it. I made a focacia.
Put a load of washing on, bathed the toddler C who by 9am was onto her 2nd number 2 for the day!!! while I was in the bathroom I was reminded that the en suite needed a good clean so I scrubbed it from head to toe, oh geez its sparkling now!!! oh back to the washing and then that reminded me that we better start packing for our camping trip.
This is when I had a "melt my heart" moment. Little C was getting grumpy. So I scooped her up and gave her a cuddle. We rolled around on the couch, she giggled as she blew raspberries on my shoulder and then she climbed into her pram and said "na nights' which indicated to me it was nap time. I nursed her to sleep and thought to myself  "how blessed am I ?"
Ok, back to my day!!!
While all this was happening, the computer was on and I was typing the kids assessment that's due to be handed in at the end of term 2 school holidays and instructed the kids at the table to do their sample of work that had to be handed in. We had lunch and I answered some emails, organised product for 2 customers orders and had a cup of tea.....oooh how I cherish my cup of tea!

In the busyness again another "melt my heart moment" I was taking the washing in off the deck(as its been a bit rainy) and I saw in the corner of my eye J painting R's nails for her! "how cute" I thought to myself..... and I am so pleased that my 8.5 yr old son enjoys spending time with his recently turned 7 little sister and can do things that she enjoys. J is such a caring boy and R makes me laugh by saying "look mummy he's my slave" ......yup that's my girl LOL!!!

Now, not everyday is like this but you get the drift, life gets busy but we just need to make sure that we take time to notice the "melt my heart" moments with our beautiful children. We will not remember how clean our house was or how much money we made but we will remember those precious moments with our kids but only if we stop and take that memory shot and put it in the archive.

There will definitely be more in this "melt my heart" serious : )
