Kid Time

I cut out this article at least 10 years ago from my in-laws local paper when we were on vacation in Oregon.  It's been hanging on my fridge most of the time since then.  I love the philosophy of spending more time with my kids as a way to find balance.  One of my goals is to simplify my life so I can be more "present" with my kids.  Honestly, I have a long way to go, but I just keep remembering one of my new favorite quotes: 

"A year from now, you'll probably wish you had started today."   

Tonight Sadie convinced Jeff to put up the tent in the garage and we're camping out!   Sounds like a good start to me.  :)

This is exactly what I need right now. I've been so busy packing that I feel like I am neglecting my children. Soon, very soon...

Such a good posting. Can I borrow your quote for a posting on my blog? I love it! A good thing to remember.

Karey,
Help yourself! I'd credit it if I could remember where I found it... After I heard it, it stuck and I think of it all the time!!
