No, sweetie... I just have twins.

Actually, this is such a good reminder to be more conscious about the choices I make about what to do with my limited time every single day. I'll be keeping this in mind!

Wow, love this! It’s hard to parent and build independent children…sometimes I feel mom shamed for not doing more even if I “know”that my doing less means my kids know their own capabilities more. Sure, their “art” projects at the library storytime may not look at all like the example, but they also weren’t made by me. But also…often I overstep and do too much because my fragile heart just wants my kids to live in a bubble of perfection. Anyway, thanks for this awesome article!

Also, There There was such a good book and it was fun to be reminded of it!
