So I have just stumbled upon a few sites I'd like to share. They've got some awesome ideas for my kids. I find that I always seem to be in a hurry, even if I don't have to get anywhere! I don't know where I learned it, but my life seems to be going by way too fast. Maybe it's because I'm always hurrying things along. Here are some great ideas that I need to remember that are also important for my children to hear. Overall the underlying message I wish to be sending to my children is this: You are the most important part of my life. I love raising you and would love to spend every moment cherishing you and your unique-ness. I want my children to remember me by the way I made them feel. Hopefully that will be "cherished and loved". Not always hurried along.
This first one is my favorite!
