Thank you Kami, it’s so hard to let kids (and us) have/do something we love and not have it take over our whole worlds. We are very blessed and sometimes if we’re not careful we can let life overwhelm us and turn those blessings (money to do things, etc…) into a stress or burden. Thanks for stopping by and of course for the compliment on my family. Have a wonderful day.

Thanks Pam, I love the idea of putting things away while the kids are up and at home, a lot of the time we’re running from one place to another but it would still be beneficial out and about or at home. Thanks for the tip and for stopping by!

Thanks Adrian, I want to run away probably about every other day right now just to see if I can get time to slow down if we have nothing else to be doing. I also hear you about the things I’m willing to cut out being necessary evils.

Thank you for your thoughts Jen. We have tried to not “over do” but with 7 kids it becomes hard to let them each have something and still have family time. Every day is interesting around here, that’s for sure. Thanks for coming by!
