Smart Habit Saturdays

Very late. Very tired. Therefore, very short post. I’ve been doing really well with spending time with the kids, so I think I can move on to something else. I created a daily routine for myself several weeks ago, but I still haven’t been very good at actually following through with it. One of the [...]

Not so good..

Well, I failed miserably at my first SMART Habits Saturday. I only spent time with Jake and Emma on one day. Lousy.
So I am recommitting myself this week to spending 15 minutes of TV-free time with each kid.
Things are settling down at the house this week. My husband’s play will be [...]
