Oh the peanut butter + jelly years. This is what I'm referring to the season of life I'm in right now. Maybe your in them too or maybe you just remember them from when you were raising babies of your own.
You know the ones; theres probably a lost sippy cup or bottle under the couch, you trip over toys when you get a glass of water in the middle of the night, you have 100 channels but its always on Disney anyways, and your kids don't care if dinner is a five course meal or PB+J.
Simple. Busy. Exhausting. Joyful. Rewarding. Demanding. Physical. Emotional. Hard. Sweet.
They are the short years when your kids really only want and need you; which is both beautiful and terrifying. The years your kids love fearlessly, laugh freely and live everyday with passion. They don't know about politics or the hurt in the world. They don't care how much you make or the car you drive. They just love you because you are you.

The days are long but the years fly by. Those would be the Peanut Butter and Jelly years.

That brought tears to my eyes. So beautiful and so true!
