"Back in the day, Moms made their kids pancakes & stuff for breakfast. So kids were healthier then. And they didn't need to get up so early."

"Back in the day, huh? Are you sure about that?"

"Yeah...In the 40s or something. I know because I read Lassie."

This was my conversation with my 12-year-o...

Do you ever think, “Man...I wish I could be in junior-high again...”?  

Yeah, me neither.  🙂

Certainly there are certain moments I wouldn’t mind revisiting.  But all the stuff that goes with it?  Nah.  I could do without that.

Last weekend the boys watched a movie that reminded me of this.  Jessi...

The last time I decorated Christmas cookies with the boys they were three & five.  (They’re now seven & nine.)

As I planned the festivities...In my mind…Christmas music would be playing. 🎼

The first snow would be falling outside the window...You know, the light & fluffy kind...the pretty kind.  

Do you know ANYONE who is good at EVERYTHING? 

I mean really? 

No.  

Maybe everyone else APPEARS to be good at everything, but no one actually is.   

But we often expect that WE should be good at everything, right? 

Why can’t I figure out how to be successful in my career AND spend quality time...
