Monday’s Blog Spotlight; Enjoying The Journey
May 13, 2012
How many of us moms get so wrapped up in routine that we forget about the spontaneous fun?
Instead of 8 p.m. bed time, would your kids flip for two more books, ice cream, or even just a few more minutes of “late night” cuddles?
Once again, Enjoying The Journey is in Monday’s Blog Spotlight! She has reminded me to take a step back and let my kids teach me. next time my boy’s are blowing milk bubbles, I think I will join in the fun rather than get upset at the mess they are making!
Thanks to Enjoying The journey I was also reminded that you can make spontaneous fun a learning experience as well (finger paint, measuring cups with water and funnels, etc…)
This mama really has her head wrapped around the fun times! It’s all about teaching children joy; Spontaneous Delight. As a super busy mom I appreciate the reminder to step back and enjoy the little things!
