Sorry to be late! Sometimes it's good to drag things out though, right? Anyway, I love this post. It is a great reminder for all of us to be better parents. I often think when my kids ask me to play while I'm cleaning or for another story at bedtime, "How will they remember me?" Will they remember me as the mom who needed to keep the house sparkling clean? Or the mom who WANTED to spend time doing things with them that made great memories? I choose the latter.

There are so many things I constantly battle with. Do I work too much? Do I work to little? Am I giving enough to my family. I know I yell to much, it's not that I mean too..my patience gives in and out it comes. Thank you for reminding me I'm not the only one who really LOOKS in the mirror.

I try to treat my mom the way I want my daughter to treat me. Same goes for my mother-in-law. Treat her the way I want to be treated as a mother-in-law. In general, it's about treating others the way you want to be treated. Enjoy your day. Love the true meat and substance of your site. Would love your opinion on mine if you have a chance.
