Dining Room Design / Decoration Ideas & Inspiration (Simple, Small, Modern, Luxury)

A few nights ago at dinner, my daughter lost her second front tooth.    While I knew it was coming, this brought on an emotion I hadn’t expected: I started experiencing feelings of grief!  No pun intended, but I was like, “Good grief, what IS this?!?” Then I realized that this loss of her two front baby teeth (you know, the ones that are especially painful when coming in and keep mamas+babies from sleeping for weeks🤨) was like a reminder that time is zipping right along.  It felt like the end of an era.  The era of baby-turned-toddler-turned-preschooler.   Now this little girl (who 7 years ago wasn’t even born yet and Matt and I were still reeling from the then-reality that we had spontaneously become pregnant after so many doctors told us it would never happen—talk about KNOWING grief) is losing her front teeth and writing me hilarious notes and talking about college (AKA all she says is that she wants to live at home😂🤣).   I’m glad she’s growing as she should, so it’s this odd mix of joy plus grief!😆 Have any of you (whether a parent of human children or pet children) experienced something like this and can share your wisdom?  I know that may be a deep question for a Monday, but stick with me!😄 Any advice or tips you’ve learned for dealing with joy-grief—I’m all ears! 👂🏼🤗👂🏼 . . . . . . . #diningroom #diningroomdecor #diningroomtable #diningroomideas #neutralhome #diningroomchairs #diningtable #diningchairs #californiacasual #coastalmodern #scandifornianstyle #coastalhome #thisminimalhome #lightandbright #woodsandwhites #coastalstyle #simplenaturalhome #organicmodern #simpledesign #lifewithkids #alliwantforchristmas #parentingforreal #momtruths #myhomevibe #lonnyliving #beachyboho #minimalhome #homeinspo #neutraldecor
