i looooove low key weekends! For some reason I always want to pack stuff in (and TRY!) but fail. I had an ah-ha moment the other day when I realized that Casey & I share our parenting duties evenly- he watches Coop while I work on my website and I watch Coop when Casey needs to do something-BUT we never really get to play ALL together because we are exploiting the extra pair of hands.

Loved this post- it’s a nice reminder to just enjoy the day and not try to over plan it. We ALL need our down time!

In reply to Alix. Thanks, lady! It's so true--the list is always there and I just need to focus on the now list. Things that make my family happy. That's enough.

In reply to Melinda. Melinda, this information is just genius! I am going to try to do more "want to" and not worry so much about the need to and should do!
