To Make Time Stand Still

May 2, 2016 By Channing 2 Comments

To make time stand still these days I would do almost anything. This morning I wake up and my baby is 4.

Four years old.

They say that the days are long but the years are short and unfortunately, this could not be more true.

If only we Moms could make time stand still to savor everymoment. Why does the time pass so quickly?

I feel like it was just yesterday that this little one was born. From the beginning she did life HER own way. Her entrance into the world is a perfect picture of who she is growing to be.

Full of excitement and keeping us on our toes!

She is Punky Brewster meets Annie. She is headstrong and mischievous with a head full of curls.

If only we Moms could make time stand still to savor everymoment. Why does the time pass so quickly?

She is strong willed yet gentle, feisty yet oh so sweet. She is rough and tumble but loves her high heels. She loves deeply and through her empathy abounds.

My Ellie is one of a kind. And she is my baby.

If only we Moms could make time stand still to savor everymoment. Why does the time pass so quickly?

Moms, I know you understand. It’s hard to watch as milestones pass knowing she is the last of the bunch. Oh how I wish I could shut everything out and engrave these last few moments of her being little in my mind forever.

For some reason this girl getting older every year hits me like a ton of bricks. 

It’s going too fast and I just wish I could make time stop. If it would just stop for a moment.

I never want to forget the way this sweet girl crinkles her nose when she concentrates, or how her r’s sound like w’s when she starts talking too fast, and most of all I never want to forget the way she snuggles and cuddles up close with the most precious smile.

These are the moments I wish could last a lifetime.

If only we Moms could make time stand still to savor everymoment. Why does the time pass so quickly?

Friends please tell me you understand how I feel!

You know I was thinking… I think Moms should be given a pause button the day your little one comes home. That way every once in a while when you need it the most you can push it and take all of life in.

If only we really could make time stand still.

If only we Moms could make time stand still to savor everymoment. Why does the time pass so quickly?

Instagram post 17864637601827512 This is what happens on day number 3,568,743 of quarantine: ice cream sundaes for DINNER. We have been spending endless time together and decided it was time to start a new family tradition, so we picked up the new DIY Sundae Kit from @baskinrobbins! The kit comes with 2 pre-packed quarts of ice cream, 3 toppings, an entire can of whipped cream and cherries! Ice
cream for dinner will now be a weekly staple. The kids are definitely not complaining! It’s a fun day with a Sundae! 
Comment below and tell me your favorite Baskin Robbins flavor!

Instagram post 17850899390014309 Disney is challenging us to share our first pictures with characters! I had to join in the fun and it was the best trip down memory lane. Disney has been threaded throughout my entire life. I pulled a few of my most favorite memories over the years. From partying in the streets during the most epic dance party and meeting our most favorite princesses to me being a kid at Disney myself. Oh, I also had to add a picture of Cinderella’s Castle. She really is the most beautiful cast member of them all! 
@waltdisneyworld we miss you more and more each day. You’ve brought us joy beyond words and we cannot wait for the day when we get to walk down Main Street USA again! 
Ok, now it’s your turn. Find your old photos of your favorite Disney characters and share the magic. Also, don’t forget to tag me. I want to see all your memories too!
