Being mindful with this blog
January 19th, 2008 at 5:38 pm (Balance, Parenting, Mindfulness, Writing)
Sometimes the days spent with the kids seem so long, but I realize more and more how quickly the years are going by and how quickly the kids are growing up.
That is why I want to be present for them in the moment. This is my aim. To be fully present for them as much as I can during this journey. It is easy for me to fall into the mindlessness of it all. There is so much to do. But by practicing mindfulness and by chronicling our journeys here I hope to live more fully in the moment with my family.
I am an AP mother. I breastfed, wore my babies in a sling (when I wasn’t carrying them!), shared a family bed and practiced attachment parenting. I don’t regret any of it. I am still practicing attachment parenting. But now that the kids are getting older (9, 7 and 3 yo) I am realizing that I need additional tools. That’s where the mindfulness comes into play. I need to practice being aware, being in the moment and being present for my family.
So this is where I plan to record all the things we do and all the things I want to do. Moment by moment.
