I know today is a hard day to stay away from the computer. Since you are probably shopping for your kids online, they might have been a little neglected today. I can just see us all covering our computer screens and sitting in the corner of the room so they don’t see what we are doing. 😉
One thing I always have to remind myself is to take little moments here and there with my kids. It is really easy to get caught up in the “deal” madness. Pretty soon you have been online for hours and you don’t even realize it!
So, right now, take a quick second offline and go do a little something with your kids. It can be playing a short game, reading a story or just playing with them. They need a little love!!
Then, you can jump back online and do some more shopping. You might want to do this a few times today if you are planning on being online for a long time. A little quality time with kids goes a long, long way!

We’re totally on the same page! I just finished blowing bubbles with my son in the backyard. Even though its chilly the sunshine felt great. Its incredible how 10 minutes of bubbles is like pure heaven for him. : )

Thank you for the reminder! I totally realized I hadn’t seen my daughter in like 2 hours at one point this morning.
