My cute little man Macen has a blog..you all know that by now. The other day, a friend asked him to give advice to parents. It was a fun conversation. He had some pretty good ideas. One of my favorite things that he said was "Have a house that is fun to come home to." That was pretty deep. I asked him if our house was fun..he looked at me like I had an extra set of ears. He said "Well duh Mom...why do you think everyone likes to come over?" I will admit, that made me smile.
I grew up in a house that was fun to come to home to. My mom made sure of it. We laughed a lot. We joked around. My mom was the QUEEN of April Fools day. I have so many fond memories of our house in Manlius!
I think it's important for your kids to love being home. I think it's important that your kids feel safe and secure in their homes. I think it's nice to be able to exhale when they come home after a hard day.
A long time ago I made a goal to never "nag" when Grant or Macen comes through the door. I need to give them time to relax..to exhale. It's so important. There is nothing so important that you can't give a few minutes of joy when your loved ones come home.
So, Relax, sit back...you're home!
