Kayefiles/Mamafiles: Friday Reflections Sticks and Stones

The kids and I have been off for two weeks, it feels much longer, to be honest the boys did go to day care 2 days last week, while I tried to play catch up.... I always end up on a never ending tight rope, trying to balance everything around me. (As a child I had this reoccurring nightmare about being in a circus and I was never able to get all my work done....how weird is that). Maybe procrastination is in my DNA.
Did my mother travel this same road? I don't remember her complaining or constantly misplacing her keys, running back into the house 2-3 times before leaving the end of the driveway.

Earlier this summer I took the boys strawberry picking, I made the mistake of trying to follow my phones GPS and we ended up on a very long ride, we found the farm, picked 1 basket because the berries were tiny. Poor Brodie had a reaction to the plants or something in the air he was sneezing. Korben was wandering around looking for tractors...did I mention the berries were tiny. We made our way back on the tractor to pay for the berries and pick up 2 ice cream cones and went to check out the petting zoo and playground. Then we explored a mini maze made of hay, it was terribly hot and I was done, I was trying to encourage the boys to exit the maze with little success, I asked Brodie to direct his brother out. Korben then began to run and laugh at this new game of chase and I realized this was the whole point to these outings to enjoy, explore and laugh. Thank you Korben for this reflection.
