Actually this morning I was a little frustrated because I'd been working hard in the home and it still felt like I never do enough. But I had a peace because I know that I do the best I can and we live in our home.Mrs. Chrissy Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09516870555452352931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5530986912408132571.post-78187845674677556272017-01-12T10:13:44.111-07:002017-01-12T10:13:44.111-07:00When our kids are home, and you are schooling them...When our kids are home, and you are schooling them there too, the expectation of having a clean home at all times is just not practical. Do what you can, clean as you go, and enjoy the times spent with your kids. They won't remember the mess, but they will remember the memories! And that is what is important! We only have our kids for a short time - and now that my kids are both in college, I am so thankful for the memories along the way, the day will come when the house will be easier to keep clean, but for now, enjoy the memories you are making. Hugs to you dear friend!

My parenys had their own things and our house was nothing like anyone elses house. Other peoples houses were unique, too.

Our homes are there to live our lives in, not to tip-toe around afraid to make a wrinkle in anything. I think your sign is adorable! Have a blessed week and don't sweat the small stuff :)Debby Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02499542865677173703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5530986912408132571.post-65361566989047668582017-01-09T15:03:44.296-07:002017-01-09T15:03:44.296-07:00How sweet and realistic your post is!

To have the homey lived in look...the signs of life you could say. I try to remember a balance as I also seek to teach my children to pick up after themselves and to take care of what is theirs. Part of being good stewards of what we have. They house can be clean .... and then there is the homeschool projects. :) It is only for a time so smile through it. Making memories like your sign in the picture says. A precious time!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10117758083302493088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5530986912408132571.post-21656640894720017682017-01-09T06:55:33.094-07:002017-01-09T06:55:33.094-07:00Sometimes I get frustrated that once again I am cl...Sometimes I get frustrated that once again I am cleaning the front door window since Megan drew a smiley face in the steamed up window. Then I think one day the window will stay clean and how sad that will be. Our children are with us for such a short time. I will take the smudged window and few scattered toys over a sterile environment any day!Wendihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02547001714523524390noreply@blogger.com
