Amazing Song For Parents – ‘You’re Gonna Miss This’

It’s August which means I have to face the fact that Francesco will be heading off to full days of Grade 1 in September. Everyone says how fast the years fly by, but you start to really understand this once your kids start school. My personal goal for this summer was to connect with Francesco, spend quality time, and have meaningful conversations everyday. It’s been at the forefront of my days because I know this chapter of having him home all the time will end in a matter of weeks.

Then I have my twin 2 year olds that make me wish I could speed up time some days. Those little girls can sure tantrum when they put their mind to it. But no matter what stage your children are experiencing, I heard a song at the end of last season’s The Apprentice that put everything into perspective for me. Have you heard the Trace Atkins single “You’re Gonna Miss This”? I’ve been listening to this song a lot lately and the lyrics help me focus when the girls are acting up or when I’m feeling like the boys are growing up too fast. All parents will connect to this beautiful song…here is a sample:

You’re gonna miss this
You’re gonna want this back
You’re gonna wish these days hadn’t gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you’re gonna miss this

    Hi Suzanne,

    We recently got a cat and I am trying to buy bio-degradable kitty litter but I am still putting it in plastic garbage cans and out to the curb. I don’t really want it in my composter…I don’t know if you know of any good solutions…buy a biodegradable garbage bag I guess?

    Sawyer noticed today that on the bottom of the Tropicana Orange juice plastic bottle (that we buy our orange juice in) it has the number 7!! He was quick to point it out…I guess we will be switching brands.

    Next question:

    I am using eco friendly laundry detergent and my dryer balls…do you know about dryer balls yet? However, I cannot give up my oxyclean for stains yet because it works so well…do you know of a better choice..I know it is full of toxins…says poison right on it. Do you know that to get berry stains out naturally you can use boiling hot water from a kettle and pour on the stain from high up…if stain is fresh..immediately takes it out (works well for fresh red wine stains too),
