Not that I've become anti-facebook or anti-blogging (obviously), or that I've suddenly decided that there's something evil about getting online to research new ideas for preschool activities. I have, on the other hand, realized that I've strayed from one of my goals as a stay-at-home mom. Aside from my mission to teach my children, I had planned to simply enjoy being with my kids, to play with them, to be present when with them. For that reason, I've decided to cut back our lessons to three days a week (M, W, F), and the only thing I try to do on a daily basis is the calendar.
Of course this doesn't mean that we sit around doing nothing on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Instead we take those opportunities to do more outside of the house, to have field trips and play dates, to play together and to relax from our otherwise busy schedule.
So, without further adieu, here's the article from The Power of Moms that inspired this new post, my new schedule and my renewed motivation to be a more engaged mom and not just a busy preschool/toddler teacher!
Our "sweet" home has just become our classroom, and now each day is a new adventure for Aislin, Desmond and Mrs. Mommy Sweet!
