I am sad when I hear that a lot of moms leave their kids at home...I feel that in some way they are missing out. And realizing a couple weeks ago that something in my parenting was paying off was encouraging to me....sometimes I just see the day in-day out problems and think I am getting nowhere.<br /><br />You are huge encouragement to me too, friend. :-)Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12695782474265436464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4735033128474491176.post-7972670191454529322011-11-04T23:01:53.747-07:002011-11-04T23:01:53.747-07:00I loved this post, Charlotte!! You have no idea ho...I loved this post, Charlotte!! You have no idea how much you've encouraged me by this. I always take my kids shopping with me. ALWAYS. <br />Since they're newborns and I plan on doing it when they're much older. And like you said, its not always peaches and cream... we've had our moments. But they're few and far between and I think its because we've learned lessons and have matured along the way. <br />Ethan helps me a lot now and Rachel is starting to be willing and ready as well! Kara rides in the cart still and is my chatting friend - she and I do a ton of talking while we shop :) <br />I love my kids knowing I love having them with me and I'm like you - I do not want to exchange time with Jase or the weekends for shopping. <br /><br />Anyway, loved this post. You've given me so much to look forward to and it was encouraging to see how this has paid off for your family.Stefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06314577454372964927noreply@blogger.com
