I raised five children, homeschooled them, taught enrichment programs at area elementary schools, wrote a weekly newspaper column, lead a Brownie Scout troop, landscaped my entire property with 6 different types of gardens, et cetera. My secret was being organized, multi-tasking, including the children in some activities like gardening and visits to the library...Making an "appointment with myself" to do something I enjoyed which nurtured my soul and rejeuvenated me so I could spend quality time with the kids. I journaled, read, knitted, wove, sewed, et cetera. My kids had scheduled bed times so I could always look forward to time alone. I lived every moment fully and I miss those busy days, now that the children are grown. Enjoy yours! |
