Monthly Goal: Last month we focused on us. This month we are going to continue to get our me time but also have more snuggle time with our kids. This morning it was so nice to just allow myself to relax and chill on the couch with my kids. It was a wonderful way to start out the day.
Today's Activity: If your little ones ask you a question or just start jabbering away stop what you are doing (no matter how high it is at the top of your to do list) and take just a quick moment to answer their questions or show genuine interest in the story they are telling.
Evaluate: After my nice week long vacation from being mom this wasn't too tough for me. Allowing myself that break has really helped me to appreciate my kids and remember that caring for them is my top priority. I'm now refreshed and ready to pay closer attention to them. Because we just got back from a trip I had some financial things to take care of. Usually when I'm focused on money I'm very stand offish with the kids and I tell them, "I'm busy. I need to finish this. You need to be quiet or go outside until I'm done." That didn't happen today though and I'll tell you what, balancing the check book was WAY more fun with random comments from the kids along the way. I plan to do it this way more often. The kids were happy and it made my boring and stressful chore much more enjoyable.
