Summer is a busy time. It seems like we are starting to find a little bit of a groove with having all 3 kids at home during the day. We are learning, having fun, and enjoying a lot of play time. I’m struggling to balance the roles of the mom, the friend, the wife, the daughter, and the business professional and finding time for me beyond chugging down my coffee each morning.
Today, I got my littlest one (18 months old) down for a nap around 11:45 after a romp at the local park. My big kids were having quiet time in their room, which we try to do for 20 minutes after lunch every day. Their idea of quiet time meant, the 4 year old climbed the ladder into the 7 year olds bunk beds and they hid under the covers telling stories and giggling. Not really what I had in mind for a rest time, but they were laying down. They were cute and getting along and for the most part quiet. I figured I had at least 10 minutes of time to make a business phone call.

I love that note your kids wrote!
I love the note. This month I'm also scaling back a lot. It is not easy but it has to happen sometimes.
I love that you are going to call friends. I think to often we text or message and a phone call makes a difference.
