Parenting is hard. Full stop.

There is no parenting hack or trick that can alleviate the tiredness, constant needs, continuous cleaning, or bottomless snack pit-stomachs.

The day to day demand of a parent is like no other challenge I have experienced in life. And I'm not even the stay-at-home parent!

With each month, week, or even day, it seems there are new challenges brought to the surface. Children cycle through phases as they learn and grow. Some welcomed and exciting, others more difficult.

In the midst of the struggle, it's easy to get caught up in thoughts of:
"I'll be happy when he sleeps through the night."
"I just need school to start again soon!"
"I can't wait until. . ."

Today I challenge you to resist the thoughts of accelerating time.
