My little one is still quite young, and I often find myself surrounded by seasoned moms who gaze into the distance with a wistful expression. They tell me to cherish these fleeting moments as time seems to vanish so quickly. I nod along, partially agreeing—yes, there are days when it feels like the hours are racing by, and other times when it seems like we’re stuck in a slow-motion loop.
In my own journey, here’s how it typically unfolds. To all the parents who remind me that “it goes so fast,” I want to acknowledge that you’re absolutely correct. I may not always want to hear it, but deep down, I understand the truth in those words.
If you enjoyed this reflection, you’ll absolutely LOVE Mia’s latest book, Welcome to the Club: 100 Parenting Milestones You Never Saw Coming. It’s a fantastic read for every parent – we truly loved it!
