I thought seeing I named this blog "Whistler Mountain Momma" I better write about some Mom things. I was chatting to a good friend YF the other day and I was saying how I felt guilty if I spend Munchy's awake time doing something for me like riding with the chariot or hiking in the forest. I felt like because she was strapped in and not moving she was not doing the wriggling around she needs to build muscle and coordination. YF reminded me NOT to feel guilty and that it is so important that we as mothers stay sane and happy by doing what we love too. Happy mommy = happy EVERYONE in the family. Thanks YF !
It sparked me to think about all the activities/programs kids are now doing as we want our kids to have every opportunity and not miss out. Me included! But I think it's really important to evaluate how many of these programs do they really need to be involved in to become successful and full filled. Sure pick a few here and there. But let kids play too. Don't over schedule them. Not only easier on the pocket, but leads to a more creative environment for kids to create their own entertainment!
I will follow up on this blog with my thoughts on homework...
