I usually hate going home for the holidays because it seems like so much stress, work and people to please. But this year? I'm gonna try and enjoy it.

I was just pointed to your website by a friend who informed me that someone already had a blog named The Truth About Motherhood (the title I chose for my blog lol) so I am changing mine as soon as I figure out what the heck to call it. That was a great post and so true! I refuse to be stressed out on the holidays. I have boycotted holiday "obligations" so to speak by refusing to allow myself to worry about impressing the masses. All I want is to enjoy my family and friends.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6027511072264313662.post-68327037986665557522010-11-22T12:02:26.747-05:002010-11-22T12:02:26.747-05:00This so took me back to when I had young children....This so took me back to when I had young children.

No kidding....Stress is the killjoy of happiness...<br /><br />No kidding. I couldn't have said it better myself. And, it is exactly why I have chosen to just not participate in the chaos. With four sons and a husband, there is plenty to do around here without the added stress of trying to please everyone else. Instead, I'm choosing to rejoice in my family and friends, enjoy good food and appreciate how blessed we are. <br /><br />PS: LOVE the photos of your girls over the years. They are adorable!Big Fat Ginihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03462503578188104745noreply@blogger.com
