It can be a little overwhelming to find myself a mother of four. How can I meet each child's individual needs? It is frustrating when two or more of my children need something from me at the same time. Not a lot gets done during the day with a newborn and toddler in the house. So I've been pondering what's important to me right now. A perfect house? Gourmet meals? Lavish Christmas plans?
Nope.
What is important to me right now are happy, healthy children and meaningful Christmas memories.
So, my to-do list for December:
*plan easy, healthy meals to enjoy as a family
*throw in one load of laundry a day
*keep gifts simple and shop online when possible
*bake cookies with big girls
*play chase with my little man
*dance with sweet baby
*read a Christmas book to the kids at bedtime each night
*tell my husband I love him
Oh, and I can't forget:
*Ask the Lord for help each day, and be thankful for all He has blessed me with
There.
Simple, right? Well, better than trying to do everything.

Sounds like a great list. Don't forget to take time each day for you. Even if it is a quiet shower after the kids go to bed. Don't forget about you!!!!!
You're right Jen... you can't do it all. Just count the small things as victory! I wish I could come over and cook for you.
