So everything, from how to plan a meal to how to fix a squeaky door to how to handle an uncomfortable situation. They can take what they want from those lessons, and then it leads to other conversations...other skills that we can both learn (parent and child). <br /><br />That doesn't make any sense.

After seeing your beautiful, hm, re-colored flowers it occurred to me that they would be quite stunning if you pressed them and then used them for something fun. I'm not sure what, but I know you'd make it beautiful.<br /><br />Jade @ mymessymermaid.blogspot.comJade!https://www.blogger.com/profile/15910211506864633042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574269791828128314.post-18298086458823867042010-09-07T19:02:53.755-06:002010-09-07T19:02:53.755-06:00I LOVE LOVE LOVE your blog.

I love your writing, your pictures and your fantastic ideas. you inspired me to start my own blog, its nothing compared to yours, but i love it and cnat wait ot see what it grows into. I'll definitely have to do the flowers in dye with my 4 kids soon. i especially love your posts about Smooch, she sounds so much like my almost 8 yo daughter, the huge personality, the never ending desire to learn and explore, etc...

This allows me to put things into perspective and move forward in a far more positive manner. Life has been a little rough here at the moment and a reminder to not forget about myself while putting everyone else first is just what I needed.

It's an excellent point you make about finding the balance between doing things for our kids and doing them for ourselves, and also being able to recognise and appreciate those moments. My kids are 4.5 and 3.5 and I find I'm doing more craft with them now then only last year because I am enjoying what they are doing and seeing their imagination flourish...and maybe also because now I dedicate a lot more time to my artwork at night when they're in bed that I'm not the frustrated crafter vicariously living through my kids paper collages that I was in the past! <br />PS thanks for the reminder of the flowers with food colouring idea!I LOVE this one ;)Chantalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787763615530294753noreply@blogger.com
