Ok, give me a snow day and some crafty ideas from PInterest and here you are...your first guest writer for the blog!
On Super Bowl Sunday I decided that I would finally cast off my "working mommy, not enough time" hat to try fun and interesting crafts with our girls. I found something on Pinterest and gladly stole the idea to make 25 handmade Valentines with Kelsey. She loved the fact that we were literally making something that was special for each of her friends at school and I like that our Valentines will kick all of the other Valentines' asses! I know that isn't really what it is all about but for a competitive woman who doesn't have lots of places to compete...that's all I got! Anyway, as we were making these little gems, Kelsey looked at the one of our two hands and said "look mommy, our hands are snuggling!" ok ok that undid me and made me feel badly that I was seeing this whole project as a way to one-up the other moms. She forced me to realize why it is so awesome that we had the chance to make these. Kelsey has recently been showing empathy in new and interesting ways and I find myself hoping that someday I can grow up to be as good a person as the one that we made.
I thought at the very least you would like this story! Honest and flawed am I :)
Happy Snow Day!
