I always loved having my ...Lovely, lovely thoughts. I always loved having my sister in my home. Her fresh, easily delighted eyes made me see my own children so much clearer. Instead of being easily annoyed with their sweet little silliness, I could see the joy in it all. I think that's why family is so important. Little ones just need that adoration and parents need reminding. <br />I also loved your thoughts on apologizing and I agree. We're all SO in the thick of it together, we might as well relax.

The kids were not allowed in the room, but I swept the hardwood 3 times anyway. When I'd look around and my eyes would rest on something I didn't like or was not quite finished, I'd have a whole conversation planned out in my head with excuses as to why things looked the way they did. When she finally arrived at 3pm, we ended up standing outside talking for 20 minutes, then she left--never stepping foot into my newly staged living room.<br />This post really hit home today. Thanks for the great reminder to stop spending energy worried about impressing other people when were all in the same boat!<br />If you wanna see my living room looking spotless, you better come over because I'm lifting the living room ban right now! :)<br />Aw...see?
