protecting family time

I love an ordinary day. A day of sunshine, backyard playtime and a clear schedule.

While these days don't happen very often in our home, they sure bring us happiness.

Lately, I have been more protective of our time. Our family time.

With a busy husband and children, I see it as my role to supervise and protect this time.

Often it means saying no to extra events and activities which is hard to do.

But when I do say No, it allows a more simplified life, which means a happier family.

Our children have adjusted well to keeping life more simple.

At first they were bored and complained. 

Now I see them gather together in groups, creating games and having fun together.

It makes me smile and confirms to me that family time is worth protecting.

I am guardian of our home in many ways.

Guarding our family time is a responsibility that I take very seriously.

Family relationships are worth investing in.

 The more time we spend together, the more we love each other.
