Finding Family-Life Balance! How Bad Do You Want It?

I don't know if you ever feel the same, but something I struggle with is finding a balance between family responsibilities and spending time with my almost 4 year old.

I constantly have something on the to-do list whether it is doing dishes, folding laundry, making my monthly meal plan…the to-do’s never end.

I also have a little one, an only child, that always wants me to play with her. 

I recently came across the following Polish proverb:

I am getting much better at stopping what I’m doing when my preschooler says “mama, let’s play together”.   

As you know they grow so fast. In the blink of an eye, there may come a time when she is 13 and no longer wants to spend time with me.  

The chores will always be here AND will eventually get done.
