life in an instant
All out of words and short on time, but I just wanted you all to know that life is GOOD and I’m thinking of each of you! I couldn’t go another day without stopping in and saying Hi, so many things going on behind the scenes and I am itching to tell you all about them. Big things on the horizon folks, and I want you all to be a part of them! 
Update: I realized I posted this photo of my lovely friend Amy from our girls day out and didn’t say a thing about it. She’s as pretty as a picture and as much as I would love to pass myself off as her, that’s not me up there. I’m standing behind the iPhone taking that shot while we talk crafts and mommyhood and plan our Etsy craft party
I invite you all to share similar moments from your week here with me, or on Instagram (I’m @steet) by using the hashtag: #liai (<- Life in an Instant) or even on my Facebook page. Whatever is easiest for you, however you can reach me. I’d love to see what moments are taking hold in your heart this week.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the way I spend my time and the importance of even just one hour. I eluded to it here, but this week I’ve really head a chance to focus on the important things. There is room for me to a better mother, a better wife, a far better homemaker — but to do those things, I need to be more intentional with my time. I feel most like myself when we’re doing simple things like making blueberry, and/or strawberry shortcakes (with a few ghirardelli chocolate chips!), perfecting shadow puppets, exhausting ourselves or watching the classics for family movie night. We’re crafting our summer the way we want it to be, the days are going fast but they sure are fun.
Are your summer days passing as quickly as mine?

A friend told me not too long ago, that we only really had some 6,500 odd days to spend with our children before they are off & grown, and on their own. Something about that number has buried itself deeply into my brain, probably for good now. That number frightens me. I am even more haunted knowing I only have 4,200 some odd days left with Happy. Really, where does the time go?
It makes you think. And stops me in my tracks. And makes me scoop them up even more throughout the day and shower them with love and kindness and trips to theme parks and ooey, gooey s’mores. And makes me want to create a million of these, or even these, filled with our happy Insta-memories.
this is our summer.
this is exactly the way I want us all to remember it.
4,199 more days exactly like this please.
……………

Ever have those days where you wonder if you’re doing right by those you love? or are making the most of your moments and times together. That awful, creeping feeling that seems to stick with you long after you wish it would go …
Yeah, I feel it too sometimes.
But, that’s why I love Life in an Instant so much (and my iPhone and Instagram), because even in a week where I feel like I’m #losing more than I’m #winning, I have these moments stored up to fill my soul.
The moments I did find time to play, or paint their faces just because, or that proud momma moment when your baby gets his first library card or when you find your husband … literally .. smothered in love, that smile! These moments show me without a doubt, that things are going pretty darn OK.
Wonderful in fact.
These days of summer, that we have filled to the brim and then not filled at all … intentionally. Together.
So we could have moments like these.
Now it’s your turn, show me your moments like these
