I'm content (and it seriously has taken 7 1/2 years to get to this point) where I'm able to walk my boys to school, be an active part of their lives. Right now I have made a choice not to work full time and for that I get to be around to capture moments that I might otherwise miss.
To be home during the day doesn't just mean sitting down knitting for 8 hours (I can only but dream to be creating and crafting all day) . I honestly find it very hard to do one task for a long period of time without thinking about all the other tasks - cooking,cleaning. errands, dog walking etc. I could/maybe should be doing.
These choices we have made work for us as and our family and I am so thankful to have all that we do.
I love this post. I bet you get asked a million times "what are you going to do now both the boys are at school?". What you are doing is so important x
