Things I Can't Say

Tips and Tales from an Introverted Mom

Memories Captured: Family

Wow, does life get busy.

My head can start to spin with everything that I have to do. Everything I need to do. Everything I want to do.

I can get easily distracted as I feel pulled in a million different directions. Lose my focus, lose patience, lose sight of what is most important.

But, in a moment, I am reminded of what really matters.

What the center of my world is.

What will always be my most important focus.

And that is this:

  10. I love this picture!

    Doesn’t it seem that everything we need to do happens all at the same time? What a great reminder that our families always come first.

    • My son said it was his best birthday ever and he’s going to remember this day forever. Totally melted my heart.

  24. Yes, no matter how busy we get, we need to make a conscious effort and put in the quality time with our family. At the end of our life, I know we won’t be saying that I wish I had worked more, it will always be I wish I spent more time with my family more. Here is to making more memories with our loved ones!

  26. Love this! And, maybe it’s the season but I feel the exact same way. Overwhelmed. Pulled in so many directions. It’s tough, but I think centering on what matters most, or family, definitely helps.

  28. So happy the party was a success and you had such a great weekend! I loved reading your son’s words about his party! What a great feeling. This is perfect and such a strong reminder.

  32. You guys are so cute. I have seen hubs before and the boys before, but this might be the first time I have seen all five of you together.

    • It’s very rare that there even is a shot of all of us together. I think last Easter is the last time we even tried!

  35. Great family photo AND quote.
    One day, we’ll get a family shot where everyone is looking in the right direction and smiling – sigh.

  42. OMG, Shell… you have SUCH a beautiful family! I know what you mean… sometimes it’s easy to lose focus. But the main thing is that take note, don’t get too hard on yourself about it, and remember again what is truly important. Which is obviously what you do.

    XOXO

  45. Look at you guys! Just gorgeous.

    I fully anticipated being the only ‘princess’ in this family, too, but instead, I am carrying a little pink bundle. Whatever will become of me when it’s time to change her diaper?

    The message? Perfection. Right there in that one gorgeous photo is everything you need to know, right? Love that.

  73. It’s easy to forget, with you being all pretty & stuff, that Mr. Shell isn’t exactly dogmeat. :-p

    You have a truly, truly beautiful family.

    • Thank you!

      Yeah, the hubs is pretty darn cute. All my female students swooned over him back when he and I first met. I just rolled my eyes at all of them. But, he still won me over.
