Savoring the Moment

Deciding to take Friday off for cleaning and organizing has already made me feel better. Now that I know when I’m going to do this work, I don’t have to keep stressing over the fact that I haven’t done it. And that means I can enjoy myself with Baguette.

Meagan Francis of The Happiest Mom has a series of posts about doing fewer things better. In one of them, she writes about setting your own expectations, and determining what’s important to you.

There’s so much to do every day–and if Baguette is going to have food at daycare, we really do have to spend part of the evening preparing that food. But does it really matter that I finished loading the dishwasher this morning, instead of last night?

Not really. Not when I got to focus on watching her delight at how a bicycle wheel spins.
