It has been nice to preserve a childhood for my children.Heather@Cultivated Liveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141323325746602171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316609090434513151.post-70686353301691208092010-10-08T15:18:00.914-04:002010-10-08T15:18:00.914-04:00We are thinking about the same things in our home ...We are thinking about the same things in our home esp. as it relates to finding a new home. My heart desires to move farther out from the 'burbs, but then my mind (and friends) remind me that we wouldn't have easy access to as many activities, co-op, etc. Which do I want more for my children and our family?

Tried it on your glowing recommendation!!!

Moving from Orlando to Whitefish MT where things move slower and the beauty of the mountains is all around you has been refreshing, but a transition for me for sure. Working in a fast paced recreation setting was super busy and now I am out in MT just soaking in this beauty and my days are not nearly as harried. By the way - I love your blog.<br /><br />CelenaCelena Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12541899147927415385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316609090434513151.post-25528825062703518372010-10-08T07:41:08.646-04:002010-10-08T07:41:08.646-04:00well said.

I so want that simplicity on our home, but am not sure how to attain it- I'm not very good at the back stroke!amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16038494611584982961noreply@blogger.com
