You are Enough.
I just went through a week of feeling overlooked and unimportant. Like a failure as a mother and as a wife. That I couldn’t accomplish anything of importance. That I wasn’t ever going to be recognized as having done a good job at anything. I felt like I was mediocre, blah, uninteresting, and that no matter how hard I try, I will never reach the goals I set for myself.

14 Kid friendly Kitchen tools and Why I have them in My Kitchen
Cooking with your children can be a joy and so rewarding! My 2 year old added more salt to my bread dough when my back was turned....She just wanted to help, but I can honestly say, I panicked a little! Has something like this ever happened to you?

The temptation is to do it all yourself, because that way it gets done faster and it’s hard to be patient with your children…
