Are you a busy mom overwhelmed by the daily?
Join with us as we savor the moment to celebrate life’s beauty found within us all.
This is a sponsored post for BlogHer/Pepperidge Farm®. All opinions are my own.
Who else feels overwhelmed by the daily?
Daily chores. Daily routines. Daily interruptions.
The problem with life is not always found within the unexpected detours, but rather,
the day-to-day busyness of doing everything else.
As women, we become consumed by our daily.
We want to nurture and encourage those around us. We want to be the best wife, mom, and friend possible, and cheer on our children, spouse, and friends toward their accomplishments.
Oftentimes, we’re so absorbed by others’ expectations and fulfilling their needs, our basic needs are forgotten or buried beneath the rest of it.
Can you relate?
That’s why, today, I’m pleased to be a part of the Pepperidge Farm® Milano® Cookie challenge to take a moment for you.
We all have many jobs and roles in our everyday lives, and sometimes we just need a moment to focus on ourselves and enjoy the present.
Though our lives can easily be swept away, by our busyness, if we take a moment to notice, we will discover the beauty within the ordinary.
The sweet “Mama” whisper from a small child. The arms of our spouse wrapped around us after a long day. Our daily is, in fact, filled with amazing and beautiful things.
Have you lost yourself within the daily?
Is your hope for your own dreams and purpose beginning to fade?
Dear sweet sister, this moment is for you. Your dreams matter and you have a special purpose to live out, just like everyone else.
Grab a cup of coffee and eat the cookie. Savor the beautiful that surrounds you right now and reflect on all that you have already accomplished.
Celebrate the beautiful lives you influence daily, and realize the beauty within you that’s changing the world right now.
What about you?
How do you savor the moment to enjoy the journey?

My favorite way to press pause, unwind, and enjoy the moment is to take a nice hot bubble bath with my favorite soft music.
By trying to focus on my blessings instead of my worries.
