The Big Marshmallow!!

Ok...Summer time is here for some of you and will be here Friday for us.  I am sooo excited to have all four of my precious people under my roof.  The days when we home schooled were so special because I was the one to see all the progress and celebrate all the little moments with my monkeys.  When we decided to put them into public school last year, that was what I missed most, and the house was tooooo toooo quiet.

Home schooling Gracie.

William loved to use shaving cream for his handwriting.

Nicholas took a lot of brakes.

As I am looking up camp schedules and planning our vaca and getting a bit stressed  I am reminded or a great story......


A dear family we know always plan huge camping vacations.  Not just pitch a tent and hang out type trips...Noooo, they go all out.  Backpacking carry all their food , hard core stuff.  Well to say it takes planning is an understatement and very stressful......my girl was frantic.  Just when it all hit the fan her youngest one said to her "Mom, hey! just make sure you get the big marshmallows."






That was it!  We all get so worked up over planning for our families and wanting things to be just right, that we forget about the BIG MARSHMALLOW!

 It is the little blessing that our kids are going to cherish and take with them in life.  Yes, the trips and the camping and the parties are all great, but that stuff is on us.  We are the ones driving that train, and we are the ones who can get off at the next stop.


So, relax...enjoy your families and pick up some Big Marshmallow this summer.
Blessings!
