My favorite place in my home is in front of this #fireplace . ⁣ ⁣ There are few things that make a house feel like a home more than a fireplace. Feeling the warmth radiating from it. Hearing the crackle of the flames. Watching the colors change as the wood burns.

I know that in #day to day as you're just struggling to keep everyone alive and uninjured, it's hard to #intentionally live in the moment and make #memories .

You will #cherish and #appreciate them down the road. ⁣ ⁣ #makememories #momlife #caregiving #mom #caregiver #parenting #sandwichgeneration #multigenerational #life #live #joy #choosejoy #motherhood #goodtimes #abridgebetweenthegap
