Coffee : keeping parents functioning through sleepless nights. For the record, teething sucks. Today’s monday motivation is simply coffee. Lots and lots of coffee. I know there will come a day when I miss this stage and forget the sleepless nights. I’m trying very hard to remember that each time I feel frustrated by the constant night wakings. It’s tough but then I think how lucky I am to get to hold this precious girl who just wants us to hold her for comfort. I smell her sweet baby scent while she lays on my shoulder and thank god for her and for the existence of coffee. Parenting is not easy but it’s worth it (especially with coffee)!

I know there is a lot going on in the world right now and I wish for all of our sakes but especially my little girls that I could fix it. I don’t know where to start except to say more love people. More love and accepting each other and trying to see things from the other persons point of view. Maybe we all need to sit down and have a cup of coffee together. Maybe we all need a time out. Maybe we need to take a page from our children and remember what we taught them. Play nice, be kind, Share and as always the golden rule, treat others as you want them to treat you. I know it’s not that simple but I wish it was.

Today lets all be a little kinder to each other, maybe try to understand that maybe not everyone got to sleep last night, be kind and drink a little more coffee.
