It’s Mother’s Day! I created a 30 second video for my wife just to let her know that she is the best Mommy! Thanks to her for being the best baby-mama ever!

So my wife has been out of town at a conference for the past 4 days. I took the time off work and have been watching our 2 year old boy and 1 year old girl. I have to say, my hat is off to all the single parents out there. I don’t know how you do it week in and week out. It was cool, I’m not complaining, but I’m not going to tell you that it wasn’t tiring also.
It probably didn’t help that I got the 24 hour flu in the middle of it all (no, it wasn’t swine flu). That day went kinda like this: “here kids, lets put all the butterflies back in the Elefun game so that you will be distracted for a minute while daddy goes to throw up”… yeah, not fun.

We did some fun things like go to the Mall and playing at the park. But mostly I realized that I should appreciate my wife more and the work that she does daily as a stay home mom with two little ones. It really is a miracle to get much of anything done besides the basics of life while providing an environment for the kids that is safe, educational, and loving.
Good work, Mommy! Come home soon!

This video is amazing. Inspiration can come from anywhere. For me, it is often at unexpected times and from unexpected places. I have learned though to pause and take note of those moments: a creative idea, an insight, a new understanding… because the other thing I know is that inspiration is fleeting and often leaves as unexpectedly as it arrives.

So what inspires you?

Welcome to my first post in the MtDewKids blog. Why the name “MtdDewKids” you may ask? Well, I like to drink Mt. Dew and I have a couple kids. Plus I just think it’s kinda catchy. No, I don’t let my kids (1 year old girl and 2 year old boy) drink Mt. Dew. Sorry kids.
