So the school holidays came and went in a flash. Yup, just like that. I was very much looking forward to it because other than meaning that we could get to sleep in instead of having to wake at 6:30am every weekday morning, it also meant that I would have so much free time to be with the kids and just do what we wanna do and go where we wanna go.
I didn't sign them up for any holiday enrichment classes and if there was one thing I was trying to remind myself, it was that I needn't be stressed over holidays or keep wanting to fill up every day with activities. Sometimes, it was okay for them to be bored so they could be creative and come up with their own kind of entertainment; and at other times, we would just let fate decide and be spontaneous about what we could do when the day came.
It turned out that we did do a whole bunch of things last month and looking back, I don't know how we managed it but I'm just glad that we did all we did and made the most of every bit of the holidays. In June's "Happiness is...", it's not about counting the days, it's about making the days count.
P.S. I will keep the "Happiness is..." series going and do a roundup at the end of the month because these posts do help me to keep things in perspective and be thankful for everything in my life. However, while I will still keep the "Creativity 521" series and share our crafting posts whenever I can, it will cease to be a fortnightly series because I think I just need to do away with any unnecessary stress I am causing myself for now. Yup, it's a case of too many things to do but too little time and coming from a SAHM, it sounds unbelievable but it is true hor. http://www.ahappymum.com/2017/07/happiness-is-making-days-count.html
