The gift of time...

“I’m so busy!” has replaced “Fine, How are you?” as the most common way people respond to the question “How are you?” Everyone bemoans their frantic schedules, their lack of time to relax, or even complete a thought. But recently I’ve been thinking about a little formula that seems increasingly true, and important to me, as a parent.

Do you want to give your child the gift of time?

Quotes by Lisa M. Ross  (?)

“Meaning hides in repetition: We do this every day or every week because it matters. We are connected by this thing we do together. We matter to one another. In the tapestry of childhood, what stands out is not the splashy, blow-out trip to Disneyland but the common threads that run throughout and repeat: the family dinners, nature walks, reading together at bedtime (with a hot water bottle at our feet on winter evenings), Saturday morning pancakes.”
Lisa M. Ross, Simplicity Parenting: Using the Extraordinary Power of Less to Raise Calmer, Happier, and More Secure Kids

“Yet simplification is not just about taking things away. It is about making room, creating space in your life, your intentions, and your heart.”

The Seasonal Read...: Spring Challenge 2018: Reading Plans 38 232 Apr 18, 2018 08:35PM  
“As parents we carry the blueprints, the dreams of what our family could be. The plans change, the whole thing goes way over budget, there are unexpected additions, and the work never ends. Still, through the messiness of construction we see each other with such depth and hope. Our five year-old boy is still so clearly the baby he once was and sometimes—can you see it?—the young man he will one day be. We draw energy and inspiration from our dreams; our simple, common motivations. --SIMPLICITY PARENTING”
