As I have said before, this lifestyle is not for everyone and for us, with six kids, it is not an easy one. But, days like today make it all worth it. I enjoyed a long walk and swim today. It was amazing. The family went to the pool this afternoon and we had a… Read More A Day Like Today Makes it All Worth It
So often I react. Instead of responding, I react to the situation. That happened today. One child hurt the other. I scolded the aggressor, which wasn’t wrong, but I did it in the wrong tone of voice.
