I know families (i.e. mothers, usually) who are on the go every minute of the day to various activities and sometimes I feel my daughter is "missing out" but it's good to be reminded that just living life together mindfully is doing something valuable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826587706231091602.post-86931633640527801792011-06-16T02:02:01.936-04:002011-06-16T02:02:01.936-04:00This is a beautiful post.

The simplicity on your farm inspires me, and I have to say that your banner photo along the top of your blog is absolutely priceless! <br /><br />I'll be diving back into writing about simple living, gardening, sewing, etc, now that Matt and I are back from New Zealand, and I invite you to come over and read. Thanks again for your great writing, and I hope you enjoyed the salad- I can't get enough of fresh greens this time of year. <br /><br />http://batchworthlane.blogspot.comLizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15872903922526828007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826587706231091602.post-5146424046719361802011-06-14T16:08:03.290-04:002011-06-14T16:08:03.290-04:00truer words have not been spoken,, I agree, we nee...truer words have not been spoken,, I agree, we need to focus on one task at hand and finish it well, this is a world of more more ,,, rush, rush,, it takes disipline to slow down and savour the moments,, we can't bring them back.If all I acomplish in life are three happy well ajusted children who benefited from me being a stay at home mom,,, I will be pleased,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826587706231091602.post-56299173767130808422011-06-14T13:31:47.699-04:002011-06-14T13:31:47.699-04:00Yes, a homecooked meal with those you love spendin...Yes, a homecooked meal with those you love spending time enjoying both - that I what I love the most about life. <br /><br />Namaste, NicoleNicole Vangenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17766411507627272028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826587706231091602.post-63615908239307037732011-06-14T13:07:54.853-04:002011-06-14T13:07:54.853-04:00How very true!

I have found too that no matter how many things there are on my "to do" list, it's important not to rush from task to task, or I end up feeling frazzled, and nothing gets done properly. I try to just take each moment as it is, one at a time, and not worry about what I'm going to do next.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826587706231091602.post-50835178181092560102011-06-14T09:03:02.327-04:002011-06-14T09:03:02.327-04:00This is so true...I know the days that we have to ...This is so true...I know the days that we have to push out are the days I find myself shorter with my kids.

I have had people say very cruel things to me about the way I live my life by staying home taking care of my family, some of which have sent me home in tears. It is so nice to read how someone else has chosen to live a simpler life and to realize that this world isn't<br />as lonely as it can appear sometimes.
