Happiness With You/Your Children
Summertime is the perfect time to realize one thing: Life is good. It's possible that at times, we mothers and fathers get mired down in the everyday chores of parenting, getting them fed, clean, educated, and groomed for professional sports (okay some of us). Sometimes you have to just stop and say to yourself "Is the 2:00 prompt nap time really that important? If we eat pizza more than once this week, will my kids be damaged? Does that laundry really need to be flipped that badly?" Stop and smell the babies people!! Summer goes by at warp speed, and you must take advantage of every moment of warm weather possible! Put aside all your normal rules for yourself, and relax. Chlorine counts as a bath! Okay, at least in my house...So get to the pool or beach, take walk, go to the park, have picnic...do anything that makes you and them feel good! And for God's sake enjoy motherhood!
It just doesn't have to be that hard...parenting that is. You can put the kids in the car and drive them to a public park, a pool, tennis courts.
