Mom life is filled with busy-ness.
At times I thrive off of that fact…skillfully moving from task to task and smooth sailing through the day feeling quite good about my busy little self.
I must admit though, sometimes when I am in high task mode I have been guilty of forgetting about the other “little selves” in my home.
I learned long ago that being a successful multi-tasking mom means that I need to play just as hard as I work! That may sound backwards, but trust me…to work and not play becomes counter productive in the long run because we were not designed to constantly be on task.
Do me a favor mom…think about what you have busied your self with the last couple of days? If you have excelled in tasks and failed in fun you need to take heed. All work and no fun, makes mom a big dud. Yep…I call it like I see it ladies! (And like I have experienced it!)
I am guessing you have read a few informative and playful blogs…but, have you read any books to your children? No doubt you have spent some time running errands? Did you make time to take a walk with your children? Were your fingers busy typing away on a project … or tickling little toes?
I learned long ago that if I make time during the day for some intentional memory making and fun it allows me to connect with my children and be productive. Quite honestly it allows me to be more productive because the MOMents of fun and relaxation with my kiddos help me to remain on task when I get back at it.
Go for it mom, stop right now, and set aside one hour of tasks and take a MOMent to be with your children and create a memory. You have 24 of those hours, use this next one to instigate some fun with your children!
They will teach you more about life than reading blogs will…how’s that for brutal honesty from someone entrenched in the blog world?!
