Call me a bad mom, but surprisingly, I don't feel guilty one bit for doing absolutely nothing with the kids lately. We have been such bums and it feels fine for once. I'm tired of feeling guilty for not being like "other" moms, doing x,y,z every single day, exasperating themselves over lesson plans and laminating lol. I may not be teaching them viable facts everyday, but we have been busy bonding, being lazy together, and enjoying each others' company. That seems so much more important to me.
So that's why you haven't seen much of us lately, we're busy being lazy bums :)
I'm hoping we'll have something to share soon however, as we start learning about Advent. This is the first year I've actually gotten off my butt relatively early (even though I'm already 2 days behind), and prepared some little lessons to teach the kids, one day at a time, about Christmas. So be on the lookout.
*Disclaimer to all you over-achieving moms - you will no longer make me feel guilty or less of a mother for not stressing myself out over being a good teacher. I am so happy being a relaxed family who really loves each other and being together, even if it means doing nothing at all :)
