I think you are such a wonderful mother. You always seem to put your children first, and I admire you for that.<br />I think your plan is so wonderful and I will be right there with you. Even though my children are grown up, I&#39;ll be with you in the me time and the couples time.<br />Bill &amp; I were talking Christmas night about the horrible year we&#39;ve been through and he said that he was glad he had me to go with it beside... I cried.<br />Here&#39;s to 2010, the year of the Family!!!Bill and Lorie Shewbridgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17021526379136899314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404184853489521137.post-6751895743739735982009-12-27T09:53:23.383-07:002009-12-27T09:53:23.383-07:00Mabybe I am a little over emotional right now but this is such a beautiful idea.

I did that and I&#39;m now reaping the rewards of my efforts in the past. My boys are teenagers now and they are the best kids a mom can have. <br /><br />Stopping by from SITS.

Sometimes time has passed and I try to think of what I have to show for it and realize that it is not a lot. Every day is the same, work, struggle, pay the bills, do the laundry, fix dinner. What are my kids really going to remember about me and about growing up? I want them to have quality memories.Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16666910475457302786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404184853489521137.post-66967645732175558752009-12-26T15:33:43.676-07:002009-12-26T15:33:43.676-07:00Great Idea...You go woman!

I&#39;ve been thinking about it a lot too. The whole month of December we really focused so much on family and activities and gratitude, and so on, and I&#39;ve been thinking that we need to do this every day, not just for a specific amount of time. It&#39;s so easy for full days to slip away, especially when the kiddos are so young, that it&#39;s important to be deliberate in our actions. <br /><br />You can count me in!<br /><br />*And by the way, I hear ya on extended family issues. In the last few months it seems like mine is falling apart. It&#39;s getting harder and harder to explain all of it to my girls :(Liz @ Sugarplum Creationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15404300168941549805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404184853489521137.post-83763258339736912272009-12-26T08:57:35.960-07:002009-12-26T08:57:35.960-07:00Great idea, Connie!!
