My Guide to a Beautiful, Productive Day

IMG_1644
To me, on the occasion that the baby has been teething for days, deadlines loom, and you are overwhelmed. Or, maybe to you, friend, if you are similarly whelmed.

Turn off the computer.

Take a bucket bath.

Stare into your child’s face and remember all those years ago (yesterday?) when he was a baby.

Cook them a good meal.

Brush your daughter’s hair.

Make coconut ice cream with your boys and let them surprise Papa with it.

Walk to the garden, put your hands in the dirt.

Laugh with your husband and listen closely to his.

Snuggle the baby.

Watch your children run barefoot on the dirt road. Soak in their laughter.

Go to bed early.

Catch up on those deadlines tomorrow.

Have a beautiful day, friends.

  1. Towards the end of yesterday I was also suffering from melt down from having so much to do, so today I have slowed right down so that I can remember the very many blessings that I have. Sweet baby photos!

  2. Hi Shannon, I am writing you from Germany and I have to say: I just love your blog! It is so inspiring and kind of calming me down, you know what I mean? And your lovely children: just BEAUTIFUL! Please keep writing!
