Before our little Paxton came along I used to think that 'relaxing' was so unproductive and just plain wrong. I never slept in, I was up and out of the house first thing in the morning - waste no time and be productive was what I thought. Oh how times have changed!With some help from Pax and a beautifully written, insightful book called "Reinventing Mom" by Dr. Kelly Pryde (publishing details to come, I'll keep you posted!) I'm starting to master 'il bel far niente' which means the beauty of doing nothing. **Side note: I totally stole that from the book... but I know the author, she won't mind. LOL** I have come to love sitting on the beach with Chris and Pax watching the waves come in and boats go by, snuggling up in bed on Sunday morning, following ants in the driveway just to see where they go, and blowing a million bubbles for our dog to chase in the yard. Lazy days make me feel connected to my family and those are the days I remember most.
