And I forgot to mention that I love that you have a pile of stuff on top of your fridge (we always have and probably always will lol) and stuff on your counter. And that you’re not afraid to post pics of a house that isn’t completely mess free! ;)) <3 Ours looks much like this pretty much daily and I pick it up mostly at night after the little have fallen asleep.

I love what you said about the blessing of having a cozy coupe in the corner. 🙂 We don’t have one but we sure have a ton of other toys and little riding vehicles that are usually strewn all over the floor/house. Haha I have 4 (6, 4.5, 2 and 2.5 months-all boys) and goodness can they make a mess! Haha But yeah I try to remember that I’ll miss all the messes one day…sometimes it’s hard to think like that in the midst of the chaos but I know it’s true!! :)) Thank you for always lifting us women up, Becky! It really helps me so much to realize I’m not alone. <3

However, as with most blogs of this kind, Dad is never mentioned. Is it assumed that Dads don’t help out with any of this stuff? I’ve always thought of it as a team effort. It always seems as if Mom is alone in trying to maintain the house or look after the kids.

I would like to respectfully refer you to Becky’s “About” page which contains this statement:

“I have a passion to see the hearts of women set free as they encounter the Truth found in God’s presence. That is the purpose of this page . . .”

Your role as a father and care giver is so important, Ed. Thank you for building into your children’s lives, and I pray that you can find encouragement and hope here on Becky’s page even though her ministry is deliberately focused on women.

This describes my life to a T. I am the mother of three boys ages 9, 4, and 2, and this couldn’t be more accurate! My house is always full of toys, snacks, socks, etc but honestly I wouldn’t have it any other way. I do get discouraged some days but this will be my reminder to cherish those messy boys I love to call all mine!

Now when I’m in there with the babies, I enjoy watching new little ones play with them. My twins are now in college and driving real cars and my house stays clean. But I really miss that mess!

So much truth to this and yet it is so difficult to believe. I, along with many other mom’s I am sure, always seem to view my house as an extension of myself. Thank you for the reminder that just because our houses are messy, it shouldn’t discount the beautiful women we are within. <3

I need to hear this everyday, I have a six year old, 5 year ol, and an 28 mo. old! I struggle with this all of the time, especially when the oldest two are home from school on break! I want to enjoy every moment, but struggle to do so, dividing my time with my oldest,”because she is my only girl, and wants me to play with her all day long, ” and having my now 5 year old son who was almost completely deaf until he was 2, and we didn’t know it, who now has a developmental delay because of that, and trying to work with him to get him ready for kindergarten, and now having my baby boy who lets face it is a toddler, and there’s nothing he wouldn’t do, I feel so stretched between my time with all of them, plus fighting my ocd, and literally having to talk myself down from not completely cracking because the house is almost always a disaster! I love my children more than anything in this world, but most of the time I don’t feel like I’m doing the best at being a good mom, because I can’t just sit and let them completely have me!!! And I do get upset when I’ve worked like a mad dog all day in the house, and turn around in an hour and it’s back to square one. I just wish I could divide my time better, and come up with some sort of balance! This has truly helped me today though, I just need to see sometimes that it’s ok, for everything NOT to be perfect, and I know I will miss this one day, and I wouldn’t trade my life for anything in the world, it’s just hard to realize this all the time in the midst of the craziness! Thank u for this today!

Now I am smiling with tears in my eyes. Why? because to my right…next to the couch is my son’s red cozy coupe.
