Dear sports parents, I know you’re busy. So, so busy. But maybe right now. You take a breath. And take a look around… Beyond the car overflowing with dusty gear, empty snack wrappers, Gatorade bottles and sweaty kiddos. Beyond the early morning alarm, the hectic schedule, the laundry, the endless hustle. Pause and take a look just beyond the horizon… To the someday soon when you get to sleep in when the back seat is empty and there’s no one to drive to a game. Take a look around today & soak it in. It’s over before you know it and I can promise you’re gonna miss this So take a look around.♥️
