Give Me the Simple Life

Despite the title, this post is really for parents/caregivers, in general. It's not profound, just some tips I've found help me with my littles. 

Recently, as I try to stay present during the rush of the end of the school year, I have been trying to focus on what IS. Sometimes, in an earnest desire to live better, to be better, I tend to focus on what CAN be. The possibilities are endless and bring hope and excitement. But sometimes, they also bring pressure and stress.

My favorite movie is Father of the Bride II.  Really it’s just the first few minutes of the movie, but I’ve watched it an embarrassing amount of times. What’s so compelling about it, you ask? Well first, I’ll tell you about it.
