I am trying to do more of this myself so I don't feel like I'm always running. In the evenings after bath before bed my 2yo son and I snuggle in me & my husband's bed to read books and hide under the covers. These times are so special to me and I wouldn't miss them for the world. I still feel like I'm running every day, but at least I know we'll have this quiet time at the end of the day.

I need help saying no to friends, family and neighbors. Everyone wants to get together - playdates, dinners, b day celebrations. How do I carve out time just for my family to be together in our house and set limits on how much we get together with others? I want this for my family but I seriously do not know how to get it.

I seem to be running constantly and always way, way behind. With 2 teenagers, and a tween in the house, I just keep reminding myself that the time will come all too soon that they will be gone.<br />I really enjoyed, as always, your post!<br />~Liz I am longing for a day of peace and quiet.

It is something I want to do, but I find very difficult. Sometimes I really wish I was better at letting go of chores and such so we can just have fun. I love this post!

I love quiet time but sometimes it is hard to convince the rest of the family to slow down a bit. My favorite part of the day is reading books to my son! :) Beautiful post!

Thank you! I especially like how you have pointed out that the mundane simple pleasures can be made to sound so desirable and it is not at all about buying something. And yes, what if the whole world shifted their thinking this way? I am all about the simple pleasures--basically my whole blog is one long chronicle of them! This is so very lovely. Thank you!

I find myself envying those who can simply enjoy their children for who they are. I strive to have more moments of that each day rather than thinking about all of the work that I need to accomplish. <br /><br />My favorite time is our 'quiet time' each morning. We all sit and read in the living room right after we've woken up. It's a great day to start the day and holds off some of the craziness until, at least, after breakfast.
