Kids will have their angst b/c that's part of their journey, but the fact that they saw us working our plans gave them a level of confidence.

I was not a very conventional young mom when I had my son but I made sure he had all three meals and in bed by 8:30 EVERY night. That was as much for my sanity as it was for him.

Also bedtime (my favorite time of day!) is always the same and we always read before lights out. I hope my kids have happy memories of growing up too!
