Denise´s last blog post..Saturday: yet good for any day recipes

We are just getting into the swing of things as summer vacation enters Week Three, and I’m finding that in order to appreciate where I am, I have to make sure that I take some time each day to do some things *without* my kids. They just finished kindergarten, so I can’t up and leave – but they are accustomed to some quiet time (independent, non-boisterous playtime) after lunch. I’ve designated that time as MY quiet time, too, to work on my own projects. We all come back into the afternoon refreshed and ready to have fun together. It takes some discipline (same as being in the moment does), but it’s *so* important.

Also: kids who sit in The Big Chair and read together, bike rides, planting and growing, bare feet, good food on the table, holding hands with my husband.

Sandhill Sis´s last blog post..Pursuing Passion

Having raised him as a single parent I often longed for more leisure time and less responsibilities…and even now I still sometimes do but the only thing we create when we are in one place or situation and wish we were in another is stress and that isn’t what I want to create for myself or my son. I do my best to accept and enjoy where I am right now and when I do I am often rewarded with unexpected joyful moments.

Oh but I so understand being tired or overwhelmed or stressed about money or whatever and how much strength it takes to push those feelings aside and be present and am sending you a big hug and smile for being able to do that both for yourself and your two adorable kids.
