Sunflowers In Bloom: Oh How You Make Me Happy

All I wanted to do was see the Sunflower fields at Ambler Farms over the summer. When we finally went in August they were already gone. I was so bummed and moody and thought next time I am going to go alone. We always focus on making other people happy all the time that sometimes we need to learn to make ourselves happy too. So today I was super excited and pumped to see the sunflowers in full bloom at Jones Farm in Shelton. I lite up. Then I came across one smiling and thanked the universe for that magical moment. People think it takes a lot to make someone happy but reality is if you just listen to them their needs aren't really that big and happiness isn't that hard to give.

When To Step Back & Reflect

I took my middle one to Stepping Stones Museum the other morning while her sisters where in school. I like spending one on one time with my girls. I feel

it gives me a chance to reflect and connect with them. So there's a blackboard there and an area for adults and kids to write a message. The top board says "Adults, how do you want your kids to feel?" So I wrote Happy. I asked my daughter. "What makes you happy? Draw it for me" She replied "You make me happy Mommy"

If was really heartfelt and had me take a step back and reflect. Life is crazy. There's some situations adults go through and try to keep things normal for the kids and sometimes you can and sometimes you can't. But our job as a parent is to protect our kids and make them happy and feel loved and secure. That's what parents need to fight for. That's what parents need to make as their lifetime goal.
