Quotable Bits #1

I'm so excited to be posting my very first linkup, of hopefully many, many more. I've always loved quotes and sharing beautiful words written by others, so a meme encouraging writers to share their favourite quotes seemed like a perfect fit for me! For more information on how it all works, check out my Tuesday Linkup page. I look forward to reading your posts, and hope that you'll take the time to read each other's posts as well!

As a career mom, I am constantly challenged to find the perfect balance between my job and my life with my family. One thing I try to do, is to focus my weekend time on my children, to enjoy our time together as a family. I try to cherish every moment I have with them, to enjoy all the precious little things in life.



"Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
With your one wild and precious life?"

- Mary Oliver


Now it's your turn!

  1. O.k. Bianca, maybe we share a brain. That is the quote I was going to share. When I made my kids their photo books last year, it is the quote that I inscribed on the back. Love it.
    Love the linky. If I don't my stuff together this week, I will be here next week.

  8. Bianca, this is such a wonderful reminder. Life is busy - lots I want to do and accomplish - but it's important to slow down whenever we can and just BE with our kids. Congrats on the new link up!! :)

  10. I have never been good at quotes - remembering, writing, telling them. Only, READING them. So, i'll be a constant visitor to this link. :-)
