Last night I sat down in my bed with my journal and wrote out some goals for different areas of my life. I was inspired by this post from Crystal aka moneysavingmom.com. In the area of mothering one of my goals was to get our children unplugged from the TV and Internet by spending time reading to them and playing with them daily.
Confession: I have been letting the TV babysit my children WAY too much this week. TV is ok, but it needs to be in moderation. And when I have them watching it would be beneficial for me to use that time doing something productive instead of just wasting time reading blogs or on Facebook.
I think there are good times for me to unwind and spend time doing leisurely activities. However, ya girl has been WAY too leisurely lately. Get my drift?
So today I set out to do something fun with the kids. I came across this recipe for finger paint and made it in a jiffy. As I type this blog post the kids are still playing with the paint. (I spent some time painting too and then decided to do this post. Don't want you to get the impression that I'm still not spending time with my precious babes. LOL)
Here are some pics of our mess work!
FYI, don't make comments about my girls hair! That's a goal for next week. LOL!!
P.S. I don't blog a lot because I think it will take too much time. I'm so busy reading other people's blogs (their memories) that I don't take time to write out my own memories. Shame. Today, I set my timer for 15 minutes, typed like a mad woman and got this post done in about 15 minutes. Again, Crystal's post inspired me. I'm so glad!! Look what can be done in 15 minutes...and now I can cherish this finger painting session for years to come.
