Less things, more experiences.

We give our children stuff, more toys, more THINGS.... why? Speaking for myself, I do it because I think they will be happier.

But they ARE NOT.

We took our kids to a botanical garden this afternoon, and GUESS WHAT: the kids were happy. Running around, working together to build fairy gardens made of twigs, swinging together on hammocks....

No fighting.
No arguing.
No bickering.

Only enjoyment and laughter and happiness! It definitely made this Mama’s heart happy to see imaginations run wild and to be reminded of the value in simply enjoying time together :)
