Like you say, it's all about what you are good at and enjoy. I too am not a chef. I like pretend, reading, playing chase and hide & seek. I like taking my son out in nature and watch him explore and get excited about seeing new animals. You don't have to go overboard to make some magic - kids appreciate the little things (until they are teens). ;)ADSchillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13972164121690415796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828268287037468081.post-46370287553416373462014-07-23T18:53:10.988-04:002014-07-23T18:53:10.988-04:00Girlfriend. I have a post verrrry similar to this...Girlfriend. I have a post verrrry similar to this in my drafts and I started it when I read that same article (huff post?). I feel like people try to stop the mommy wars by waging war on the crafty mom! It is kind of ridiculous. I don't craft with my daughter just to show it off on FB or my blog. I craft because I like it. My mom crafted with me and I have so many fond memories of us doing fun things like that together. We still do things like make our own Christmas cards together. It's just what we like. Like you said, there are things that I really suck at doing that I wish I was better at. Meal planning, cleaning my kitchen and cooking to name a few. Anyway, I am rambling. But all of this to say that I totally understand where you are coming from! <br /><br />Oh, and clorox wipes for the win!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05389227751096751082noreply@blogger.com
