We’ve all heard it right? The days are long, but the years are short. And we only get 18 summers with our kids. The first time I heard that, it made me realize just how precious our time with our kids truly is.
Do you feel like life is so busy that you’re missing the moments with your kids?
Missing being fully present and connected with them so often we are rushing through our days and we end up missing the moments with our kids. Working with moms, I have found that many women have anxiety about missing the moments with their kids. So if you’re feeling this way, you’re not alone.

There is a quote from Maya Angelou that says, “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
Missing the Moments
So how can you make the most of your time with your kiddos when life is just busy and there doesn’t seem to be enough time?
The first thing I invite you to do is to take inventory of the things on your schedule. Many times we pile more onto our plate, assuming more is better.
Just Live The Moment
We feel like we need to do more. We need to be more. We need to sign our kids up for more activities to enrich their lives. When really what we’re all craving is slowing down, creating more time for connection.
Notice the things that aren’t in alignment with your values so you can be intentional about what you want to spend your time on. Does mom guilt around doing more ever get to you? Let me know in the comments.
How to be a More Present Parent
The second thing you can do to really cherish and be present in the moment is to literally slow down. Be intentional about each action, whether you’re making lunch or looking into your child’s eyes and telling them that you love them.
Build in time for more snuggles and hugs. I don’t want my kids to remember me as the mom that was always in a hurry to get to the next thing. So take that deep breath and remind yourself that there is enough time, especially for those precious moments of connection with your kids.

Celebrate and embrace the beautiful and unique soul that you are and the special journey that you are on with your kids.
You are doing amazing Mama.
