Let’s be honest, some days you feel like everyone is on your back.
Days when you feel like you can’t please anyone.
Today is definitely one of those days for me.
I woke up and everything that was weighing so heavily on my shoulders came crashing down.
I am having such a rough time right now.
Making big life-changing decisions that are being thrown at me.
All I can do is try to determine what is best for my family.
Because that’s what matters most.
I was moments away from letting all of these things get to me.
Moments away from letting my day go into a downward spiral.
Moments from giving-up.
My head was down and I got a burning feeling in my chest.
A sign that I was about to become emotional.
But before a single tear fell,
I looked up and saw this face…
And in a single moment – my mood completely shifted.
I got lost in his baby blue eyes, his dimpled cheeks, and his loving smile.
and quickly realized, I don’t have it bad at all.
But it’s okay — because everyone feels this way.
Everyone has these moments —
and it’s amazing how much your world can change with just a glance.
Thank you so much Wyatt Bear. xox.

He always seems to know just what crooked smile to flash to cheer me right back up ๐ I hate that I need to be reminded so often that I don’t have it so bad — but I am so thankful to be surrounded by people who are there to remind me when I need it. xo.
That’s right- That smile makes everything OK. You will get passed this…especially with that sweet little face in your presence! Hang in there Kendall- you got this!!
Oh my goodness- you are the sweetest. Seriously, you are such a nice, genuine person and I feel so blessed to have “met” you! ๐
LOVE this post! We ALL have our days, weeks, months when we are feeling down… but finding something to make out days better is so important! And your little man… so precious! I’m so glad he makes life better for you ๐
Courtney, thank you for reassuring me that we all have our days. I appreciate your words of encouragement so much! Thanks!

Me too! These are probably my favorite posts to write- because they will always be kept here as a reminder ๐ Thank you for your comment ๐
Love this post! I can totally relate to days like this. Kids jus have a way of making everything better sometimes.
Completely agree! When I’m sad my little man always cheers me up ๐
great quote!!! and I couldn’t agree more with u…in those days we have to think about what makes us happy =)
I love the quote too – it completely sums up my day. It’s always nice to remind ourselves of what is important, and how lucky we are.
Its so true. I finished grad school almost 2 weeks ago and I’ve been bored and pregnant sleepy. But so many times, I forget to stop and think about all the wonderful blessings in my life. I think that’s why we all have cute people/babies/husbands in our life.. or other blessings.. for us to stop and think.. man, life is good and happiness is present right now.
You’re so right. And you are so lucky to have such a great hubby – he loves you so much! And the fact that you two will be having a little one together is just adorable. I can’t wait for you to experience it. It’s so amazing! xo.

Thank you so much! I am not very skilled when it comes to blog design {the header took me hours!} so I really appreciate your comment! I will definitely link up again! Thanks!
You’re right ๐ We all do have those days. They are so much easier to weather with those beautiful faces looking back and smiling at us. Thanks Kendall ๐
And you’re about to have not one but TWO beautiful babies to look at! Lucky gal! xo.
I was having one of those days last week and my last stop was the dry cleaners…when she said she didn’t have my husbands suits ready, i said, ‘WHAT!” I felt so bad about taking things out on that poor lady i went back to say i was sorry at 9am the next morning….I learned to not go out in public on those days I feel like I’ve had it!!! that smiling baby face puts everything in perspective!
Awe, how sweet of you to go back and make things right. It probably made her day that you came back! Here’s to many more baby smiles ๐
