false

Our life, like many, can get a little crazy. I spend too much time trying to figure out a way to balance it all to ensure we all enjoy some down time every once in a while. I have learned that in order for things to slow down, I need to start saying "No."

We finally said "No" this weekend. Instead of joining our neighborhood at the circus and at an indoor gymnastics facility or attending yet another fundraiser, we said, "No."

It left us with a lovely, peaceful weekend full of time at home doing nothing, really. We carved pumpkins, made cookies and played Monopoly for hours upon hours. It was perfect. And it convinced me that I need to start saying No more often.
