Today when Madeleine was supposed to go in her room for some quiet time, she said that she didn't want to go in her room, she was too tired. I told Madeleine what a perfect opportunity this was to lay down in her bed, close her eyes, and have a little rest. She turned to me, and said, "But mommy, my toys make me play with them." It seems that taking a nap is not as easy as it seems!
This space once chronicled life with children and our Dallas adventures. Now the kids are grown, and I’m still adventuring — traveling, thinking, and writing — as I learn to trade social media scrolling for slower reflections.
