I miss my scrapbooking and sewing! I had 5 kids all 2 years apart and when my youngest was 14, God blessed us with a baby! I had all 5 under the age of 30. I had our little one when I was 44! What a difference! When I had all 5; I homeschooled and ran a real estate business and Tae Kwon Do schools! I made ALL their clothes from suits to play clothes.I ran the house like a drill sergeant. I kept a spotless home, they all did chores at young ages. I home made all their meals including bread and cakes,etc. NOW!!!???? With the 5 all grown and gone, I don't care where my 6 year old puts his toys or what he even eats:) I have a housekeeper who cleans my house. I still run my real estate business with staff and help from my husband, I coach and write, blog and tweet, etc! But I look back and wonder how did I ever do all that I did? I have no time to sew, blogging took over that time slot. I have no time to scrapbook as an active 6 yr old boy is a handful! Subjects that should take about 10 minutes to teach, take 30 minutes because of his creative mind and curious inquiry. I choose my battles very carefully. Having raised a whole 5 kids the second time around is much more relaxed and you discover, its the little things that matter. I spend a lot of time hugging and cuddling, reading to him and playing games. The time goes by so fast and this time I want it to slow down. Oh my! I miss my scrapbooking and sewing!

There is no nonsense so errant that it cannot be made the creed of the vast majority by adequate governmental action. I am from France and too poorly know English, please tell me whether I wrote the following sentence: "By starving, you will cause a rebound effect, and have even more trouble making weight next season." With love 8), Makenna. How are you. There is no nonsense so errant that it cannot be made the creed of the vast majority by adequate governmental action.

I ALWAYS used to say that God should give us an extra pair of hands for each child. In fact, I used to say "I have two children and two hands. Unless I miraculously sprout another set of hands, two is enough!" Then one day I came home from the grocery store and put several bags of groceries on the kitchen table. My husband and two children, ages 6 and 8 at the time, were home. I turned from the kitchen and began to talk to my husband. I saw him looking behind me and then he smiled. When I asked him what he was smiling about he said, "You are always saying that if you ever got extra hands you would have more children. Well, we could have four more. Look." I turned around to find that my two wonderful children had begun putting away groceries WITHOUT BEING ASKED TO DO SO. Ten months later Tabitha Grace, our youngest little wonder, made her grand entrance. She is two now and keeps ALL of our hands busy. I think you and I are very much alike.

I am thinking about homeschooling and surf the web to see if this is something that can be suitable for me. I'm still not sure but I start to understand what it means to be a mom that chooses homeschooling. It sounds so very complicated to live like this.

I 'appear' as though I might achieve a lot but that's because a lot of what I do is online. I either do a lot online and not much else or I am very busy IRL and nothing happens much online, for me. I just do not have that balance that you do. I really admire that about you, and I am content with who I am. But I'm also so very thankful that people like you share their wisdom and knowledge.
