Post Holidays

Photobucket
All Christmas decorations have come down and been put to bed again til next year and a few winter things have taken their place (salt dough stars the girls helped me make). Photobucket This week we've taken up our school work again. I will admit we'd gotten quite behind as I've been struggling to find the place my work will take amidst mothering/homemaking/homeschooling. But that is just something I will have to continue to work on til we find a rhythm that works for all of us. I have been learning that trying to 'do it all' only hurts us and some days certain things just have to take precedence and other things other days. That's a rhythm unto itself and something I am learning not to resist.

I took a brief holiday break and now am back at it....working on coming holiday things. I do love Valentine's Day so much. Working on things for this one really brings me joy.
Photobucket So, that about sums it up... back to school, back to work, staying cosy, and enjoying the slower pace.

Women are creative and competent jugglers! Somehow you'll find a rhythm that just fits you and your family! I always am awed by Mommas that can do it all! We just arrived back from holidays in Florida .....Our decoration patiently waits to be taken down... My oldest daughter (4), just commented today on the fact, that "Christmas is over, Mama! But we can only take one decoration down a day!" I think we still will have Christmas during Easter ;)

You just have to kind in mind that you're doing homeschool for many reasons, one of them being to be able to go at YOUR pace. You're not obligated to make complicated plans (and set you up for faillure!) And in the long run your girls won't be less wonderful human being if you take another week off! They learn so much through just playing :)
You're a great mama and I love your new products! Having a little girl actually make me like pink and hearts, I'm now looking forward to make st-valentin crafts when we're moved (we move next weekend..)

ah. the ever difficult management of work and home. I totally understand and it's a notion that i always struggle with. I think all moms do, but it's nice to see someone i admire as a mom saying the same thing! it is reassuring, and i do feel like our family has made great strides in recent weeks of making this rhythm work, and often that means including the kids in what i'm doing more than i'd think they like. them seeing me work, and helping teaches them loads too, i'm sure of it. same for you and your kids!
