Parenting.

I logged on Facebook this morning and saw someones blog update about Intentional Parenting. (look for Finding Joy - her blog is wonderful). And ofcourse I read it and done what she said to do.
I had to list 5 things I love about how I mother. Has anyone else tried this? I thought I could do it no problem. 5 things, just 5 right? Well. It took over an hour of me thinking about it. And that says alot(to me at least. I want to be the best mother possible for my kids but I can't even come up with 5 things I love about how I mother them?)

So 5 things? Can you name 5 things you love about how you mother? I still only have 3 three listed. I know I'm too hard on myself, but I'm at a loss another 2 things to add to the list!

Then it said to list 5 things you would like change about how you mother. That was easier for me. I want more family time, more one on one time with the kids, I want to spend more time playing with the kids, I want to cut out some computer and TV time and make that special time for the kids. I want to do more crafts with the kids. I want to laugh more with the kids. I want to do more "adventures" with the kids. I want to teach them more. I want to be their best friend. - I went over 5 huh? But you can get the point.

So. Starting today, I'm going to try changing some. Less computer and TV time and more KIDS time. More games with the kids, more laughing in my house! I'm really going to work on this, I want to be the best mother possible for the little ones that God gave me.
