What is it that keeps us going in this crazy ride that is parenthood? In-between the tantrums, tears and need to hide in the cupboard and scream are some amazing every day moments that make our hearts melt and give us the strength and courage to march on another day. It is these highs that outweigh the lows, these beautiful everyday moments that we wouldn’t want to change for the world, that we have sacrificed so much for.
