What good advice! I think so many moms just run through the day on pure adrenaline and "the need to get things done" that they forgo the joy in parenting. Interacting with children from a deep place of love, energy, and commitment is the ideal that is often hard to sustain. Love the analogy of the "cup filling" too! Thanks for sharing.
Just went on a bit of a rant over there, Leigh. Probably because of what my niece was telling me about some of her girlfriends the other day. I feel so sorry for them!
My name is Leigh and this blog follows my misadventures as a stay at home mom. Read as I juggle housework, motherhood, creativity, and delusions of grandeur. I am inept throwback to the 1950′s housewife, so this blog gives a modern twist to a retro lifestyle. With a focus on the drama and joys of everyday life, sometimes heartfelt but usually hilarious observations unfold. All the while my ignored laundry pile grows by leaps and bounds.
