Your Children Want YOU

My sister sent me this link and it completely inspired me. I love to craft but, as I'm sure you all can testify, it can get stressful sometimes. Unfortunately it's too easy to slip into thoughts such as "I don't have cute, handmade curtains" or "My pancakes don't look like stars". I know that all sounds superficial but the thoughts come whether foolish or not.

The post my sister sent me to was beautiful. It made me cry. It made me realize that crafts and cooking, etc are great if you are doing them to enrich your life and the life of your family. But as soon as they get to be a stress-giver rather than a stress-reliever or take precious time away from your children, it's time to take a break.

Read this post. I hope it touches you like it touched me.
