Welcome!

I'm often amazed and confused by the bizarre happenings behind the closed and competitive doors of the typical suburban home. The following is a place to share my thoughts and reflections on daily life as I try to navigate this crazy and wonderful world.

Life is a Balncing Act




You Balance your cheque book.
Balance your time between work and play.
Figure out the balance between hubby and kids, and gouge out some time for yourself.
How much do you give your children and how much do you make them earn?
When to trust....when to double check.
How to set boundaries~When to let go.
Good food choices vs Sweet Indulgence.
Money saved for a rainy day or spent lavishly to build a memory that will last a lifetime.
Hard work vs. frivolous fun.
Wants vs needs.
Exercise vs lazy and unhealthy.
Obligations vs Choice.
Strict Rules vs. crazy play time.
Give and Take.

Here in Suburbia life is a delicate dance, the happiest moments are when you strike that perfect balancing act.

Balance is so hard. I rarely find it, but it does feel good.

I've somehow lost my balance, and it's a shame. I'm the one suffering for it.
