hearts

I have had so much on my mind - planning our days.  We have been raised in a society of fast paced busyness, needing entertainment to just get through our days.  We have chosen to live differently...I think.  A bit slower, a bit less entertainment, a bit less commercialism.  Until this last week, I realized we really aren't so different.  I believe the very bits of what I didn't want ruling our days have sneaked in and enslaved us.

I find the children saying all day "can we play video games" "can we go here" "can we go buy this" "I'm BORED"     ~Whaaaat is going on????

It's time mamma stepped in and did a little this and that to fix this dilemma!  The first thing to do is talk over the plans with hubby.  What does he like about our days?  What doesn't he like?  Maybe he can shed some insight as to add to the this and that!

Part of our complex problem is that we have older children that have been raised a certain way including more of what I would like to get away from.  But I have a larger group of youngsters that are fully willing to please and work with how we want to do things.  There hearts are open and inviting of new and exciting ways for our day.  Given over to mamma and daddy.  If I am going to change things for the littles now is the time, before they are set in their ways of doing.

Blessings,
Joyful Mother
