20 Minute Vacation

This is currently where I am. Okay, not literally, but in mind and spirit, for sure. I think all moms can relate and shout (in your head) "hooray!" when your kids learn the beauty of how to play by themselves. I used to babysit for some children that would need/want 100% stimulation. That gets so exhausting. I love the freedom of being in the room next to them, knowing they are fully entertaining themselves. Sure, I love to romp around on the floor with my kids and play dollhouse, trucks, and bouncy balls, just like the rest of them... but the sanctuary of a couple quiet moments?? Irreplaceable.

Ahhh... back to my mental "hammock-in-the-ocean-breeze" for now...
