Spending time with family. I do lots of activity, some focused with the kids, side by side, and some from other parts of the house, calling out across the house to check progress.. Being a single Mum, it makes it even harder, though I do not work. But we try and really, all we can do is consciously make an effort in this busy life we all lead. I do very little on my own, without the presence of one or both of my children, particularly my five year old. The big thing I introduced them to, was creating their own games. So they drew up characters, colored them in, and then cut them out. The next thing they had to do was make up a game they could play using the result of their hardwork. When I was still married these children were spoiled with a gift everyday, due to my guilt about having to work. When I became single, I lay it out to them, that I couldn't afford the gifts I once showered upon them. They were so receptive, I think I had more trouble coping than they did. And, to this day, though our lifestyle at the moment is more restrictive, my 9 year old son keeps reminding me of all the fun and imaginative things we now do, that, when showered with bought gifts they would never have experienced. I am blessed to have two well behaved, beautifully mannered children who are accepting of whatever circumstance they are in provided they are given a start off to get going. And though my daughter is 4 and son is 9, they even work on projects together, and play nicely for the most part. Teaching them to play together and respect each other has brought them so close. Sometimes I hear them talking to each other and telling each other, 'I love you' just makes me wanna burst with pride. Thank you and keep it coming. The basics are necessities. Everything else is just like a ribbon that gets ripped off the gift.. Love and Light This is a great post … thank you for the effort you put in to reminding us all about the basic and most essential things in our lives. Spending time with family.

I do have a family and sometimes staying in the moment can be a battle...with so many demands as a mom or a parent we sometimes loose what matters most. If your a busy parent and can't do all of the list, prioritize. For me its definitely having meals together, and during meal time tell stories. Also reading a book or two with the kiddos, 2 second hugs and kisses, and lots of affirmations of love. Wonderful work keep it coming! Love ya! This is a great post.
