For some reason that has just always stuck with me since high school and now with kids it makes even more sense. Is my housework really that important? What is Ben going to care about more - that I have a tidy house or that I took lots of time to play and be silly with him. Obviously the latter! It's hard to let things go and try to find a balance. Still is! But at least with that thought it helps at times put things in perspective. And all the wise moms I've talked to have said that cherishing those times and moments with your family is way more important. My mom always told me that she never had the cleanest house and she would be the first one to admit that, but she was an awesome mom who was never the one at the beach just laying out reading a book waving to her kids, she was right there with us playing, playing, playing. I hope I can always be that mom.Jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787622984179189508noreply@blogger.com
