I came across this great post today on a site called Zen Habits. It’s a simple list about simplifying life at home with children. Ways to stay present. Stay connected. And still get stuff done.

At our house we’ve decided to revisit the world of gratitude and appreciation. It’s needed. And it’ll bring us all where we need to be. And it’ll be the chance to focus on what’s working instead of what’s not.

As for the slide picture, well, I got such a great response to the last one I figured I’d put another in there with a different angle. As a little nod to all the free range kids and parents out there in the world. And to answer the question someone sent me about “is it really as big as it looks in the photo??” Yes is the answer.
