Wasting Days

Maybe I had it all wrong. Maybe we're not wasting our days by letting the kids play all day and maybe watch an episode or two on Netlfix too many.

I had it all planned out. An hour by hour schedule. I was prepared. We were going to implement healthy habits. We were going to live on purpose everyday.

As soon as we got back from vacation this plan would be put into place. I was motivated... That was yesterday.

Today I'm realizing maybe we're not wasting our days. Maybe living everyday like it's Saturday isn't so bad. Maybe you don't have to have a schedule to "live on purpose" and have "healthy habits." Maybe there's a balance, a happy place imbetween. My kids are young. I want them to be little.

I'm going to focus on the priorities I have for each day and do those. The rest is play, love, and happiness. The rest is relaxing and enjoying each other.

My kids are 7, 5, 2 and 10 months. A schedule, chores, etc will come. Right now we have the opportunity to slow down and focus on what's important to us.

And what is important to us will look differently then what's important to you. And what's important to us today might be different than what it was yesterday or last year. But I want to start living by our values, not by some silly rules.
