They say we are gonna miss this. These years when our kiddos are young.

They say the days are long but the years are short.

But what do they say about a regular ‘ol Saturday when Mom just wants a break ‘cause there aren’t any sports scheduled and after awhile, the kids say they’re bored and then they beg for screen time?

I have a love/hate relationship with devices but am learning to be okay with them... in moderation.

So today, we made a deal. Take a long walk with Mom on the beach and then we’ll pull out the devices for a bit.

Remember when we’d plop our kiddos in the stroller or wagon and if they fussed, we would toss them a snack and they’d go wherever we rolled them? Well, we still travel with snacks, but now some adventures require more negotiations than others….

Day by day.

Day by day…

And I know, I will miss this.
