Quality time

As I am working mom, I find the time to really enjoy the time I spend with my girls. What does this mean? It seems as if every one is always in a rush to get from point A to point B that they forget that getting there is part of the journey. I picked up my daughter from school today and we played in front of the school for an hour. It was not planned or structured but it was a lot of fun. My girls got to use their imaginations and just enjoy playing.
i try to let them enjoy, explore and create when we can. I do not over schedule and let their moods determine how much they can handle. When I am with my girls I am engaged with them so when I am away from them, there is no sadness on their part that mommy is gone, they enjoy mommy time and I make it as enjoyable as I can. When that happens and my girls are happy, they are better listeners and will do what I ask without giving me such a hard time. Yes, parenting is tough but it can also be fun! Today was one of those fun days!
