It seemed to be against the tide of popular parenting and folks actually told me, "You are not providing enough your children!" <br /><br />We decided that even if 1 child showed enormous talent, we would not rush around, drive for hours, schedule and package, go in different directions and separate the family for the sake of extra-mural classes. <br /><br />Thankfully, we are a family that <b>LOVE</b> staying happily at home.Nadenehttp://practicalpages.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447042362126188218.post-16237308869301474432011-03-09T14:01:28.958-08:002011-03-09T14:01:28.958-08:00I'll feel guilty sometimes that we stay home s...I'll feel guilty sometimes that we stay home so much and then I think of Ma and Laura and Mary pretty much home all the time in those early books. My husband has even taken to running to the grocery store for us or picking things up for us on the way home. I told him I'm feeling like Ma and Pa Ingalls. Pa goes to town more often and it's a big deal when Ma and the kids fix up to go to town too.<br /><br />It is a blessing to be able to be at home.KayPelhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601334413233525818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447042362126188218.post-74612789847898416072011-03-09T07:30:07.316-08:002011-03-09T07:30:07.316-08:00I feel the same way!

Continuous scurrying from one event to another to another robs families and even individuals of tranquility. <br />Carefully choose which things to attend (even make a big deal of it) and then savor/appreciate each moment plus the memory of it.
