You don't have to do it all.

Last year I did this for Valentine's Day. I'm blogging today to say that while all that is great, it's ok (and dare I say, necessary sometimes?) to lower your standards.

There you have it. My confession. The girls will be spending about ten minutes on Saturday writing their friend's names on mini fruit by the foots. They're low in fat, "naturally" flavored AND gluten free to boot.

I'm letting things slide a bit; normally I would come up with something great to send to school, along with making sure the girls and CJ know they are special on Valentine's Day. The thing is, sometimes it makes me crazy trying to do it all. Priorities. CJ and my girls. If I manage to do above and beyond that, great. I'm just not going to sacrifice my sanity for it. Don't get me wrong-- I love, love, love being creative and crafty and doing extra fun things. It just that there are seasons...and some seasons bring less time for it than others. I'm learning to be ok with that, and just enjoy things as they come, to let go a little bit more. It's hard, but I'm doing it. One fruit by the foot at a time.
