I had to set him straight-- "When have you ever seen me take more than just my wallet and keys?? Have I ever been one of those huge purse kind of girls??" 4 kids later, I still don't use a purse and only carry with me a little diaper bag when we head out.<br /><br />We'll never be able to downsize to a little car, but I rest assured in the knowledge that we also don't carry with us a lot of stuff.<br /><br />We are often in the same room doing separate things, too. More so after we cancelled the satelitte TV.

Nothing like that.<br /><br />Sometimes I feel it - looking back and seeing all the baby steps bringing our family to a better place and feel really proud - but then sometimes I go crazy and see a sea of "could be better" and feel discouraged. I guess it's that second part that keeps me trying. I just need to let myself feel more of the first. <br /><br />Love the living room pics and the reminder that progress gets wonderfully made. You've been a good example of that for us too. Your blog inspires and gets me thinking - and sometimes just reminds me to - stop. By sharing your travels toward a better life - you help us along our way too.<br /><br />Have a great long weekend.cagiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09998337581128255587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850703275190174771.post-57824696560534007642009-05-22T09:22:55.594-07:002009-05-22T09:22:55.594-07:00pretty sure this is what is all about, the good st...pretty sure this is what is all about, the good stuff: growing as a family, growing in context to each other. it is lovely that you can recognize it in the small things - how 'bout a swift for that crochet yarn????Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01403808304630981842noreply@blogger.com
