I saw another video of a mom saying this same thing. Her husband pointed out, “while we’re wishing to be that couple on a walk, they are wishing they could be us back with the littles.” That stuck. It’s not our time to walk. Someday, just not now.

We are that couple laughing and walking 🤍 Yet when we see a parent at the park with a child, we look at them, look at each other, and instantly know what we’re both thinking - That we’d give anything to go back to that season, even for just a moment. Continue to divide and conquer, Mama. The work you’re both doing now matters, both as parents, and as partners. As for the days of walking and laughing alone together? They will come before you know it. You’ll be on the same shift. I promise 🫶🏼

weekly date nights! you have to keep your marriage the central unit of the home! it has to take priority. it is so brutal with young ones and then the activities/sports take over as they age.

Dear Mel, aka me at your age, sans social media, but from one half of that couple you saw today, I’d like to share this picture so that your beautiful encouragement can be seen for what it is. Because I married my best friend, too. ❤️You speak the truth of what love really is.

The old saying….The days are long, but the years are short…take it from a mama whose babies are adults, that’s the truest statement you will ever hear! ❤️

when that day comes ..when it's just you and your husband going on a nice quiet walk. You'll think back to these busy days with a fussy baby and a giggling toddler running around and you will miss it! You will be wishing for these days again.

Mama, it will happen again. Mom of four here (27-18) and those roommate years are tough. But now hubby and I see those young parents and say wow…that went so fast. And I’m not saying I wanna go back, but man I do miss the hugs, kisses, and chaos.
