My children are a gift from the Lord… even when they’re grouchy… even when I’m grouchy… when they’re being divas… even when they’re arguing with me. But… They have individual needs and long for mommy-time regularly.

Alicia’s Day 58: De-Clutter
Today’s lesson reminds me of a comedian I saw once on a Christian Comedy Show called Bananas.

It was an interesting way to put a name on something that my husband and I have discussed for years in regards to the kids’ toys, our clothing and other “stuff” we have accumulated, as well as the amount of effort I put into my business.
