Having said that, I also try to balance it - like when they are playing well together, I catch a breather!

Despite being preggy with #3, you still cook, wash, teach, play and bring them around to many fun places to keep them engaged and happy. And what a feat that you taught Angel to cycle singlehandedly in 3 sessions. I am so proud to have known you and I hope one day, I can be as hardworking and cheerful Mom as you are.

I agree with you that family is more important than other stuff such as social media, work etc. Without a happy family, you can be the richest person but you will always feel an emptiness in your heart. I am glad to see that you guys are enjoying yourselves. Never ever let others dictate your life and your family. You know what's best for them!!! You guys look so awesome and congrats on the coming of your third kiddo!!!

Being mindful of being present in whatever I'm doing is still a lesson I'm trying to learn. Our minds seem to wander in a thousand and one places and sometimes it's ironic that the simplest things to do, like just lying still and relaxing, is actually the hardest. <br /><br />Ai @ <a href="http://www.sakuraharuka.com/" rel="nofollow"> Sakura Haruka </a>Ai Sakurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11647203995385379898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6546965252487257512.post-18769159414042446582015-08-31T16:22:06.530+08:002015-08-31T16:22:06.530+08:00Lovely to see you and your girls enjoying yourself...Lovely to see you and your girls enjoying yourself so much in August.
