It’s hard to believe that the world would be a better place if all parents worked outside the home and left their children in childcare. Having the privilege to spend my days with my child, I get the privilege of viewing the world through her eyes and I believe this helps to remind me of how sacred every little thing is. I’m constantly amazed by the pleasure my daughter takes in the smallest things and I love her games and her newfound language. Most adults, including myself, have forgotten what it means to play. My daughter is teaching me to have more fun doing nothing and to laugh at silly things. If more of us could do this, I believe the world would be a better place.
Being with children helps connects you to what matters most.

so, so true.
when i left my career in 2002 and started “babysitting” full time, or nannying I suppose, I spent my days jumping on couch pillows with little boys and giggling and singing songs and drawing pictures and reconnecting to MYSELF as a human and not as a ….robot. for lack of a better word.
i not only prepared myself for becomming a mother myself by doing that job, but i found a new way to interact in the world. it’s the best job i’ve ever had.
i’m a better person for it.
and now i’m a full time mommy.
i laugh everyday.
life is delicious.
