“…it is a challenge for us to incorporate rhythm into our daily lives. To do so, we must commit ourselves to order and routine; to a slower, more deliberate pace; to intention rather than to happenstance. In other words, we must develop a sense of ritual.” — page 139
With everything moving so quickly in our lives lately, I can definitely see the ramifications in the actions of my children. For the past few weeks, there has been a lot of brotherly bickering, lots of begging for “One more TV show, Mamma, pleeease?!”….and this Mamma is tired. My kids need a routine. They thrive, both in behavior and attitude, when there is a plan to our day and they know what is coming next. The first day of our school year is on Monday and I just know this will be a positive change in my home. Finally, some rhythm!

Less Materialism, More Intentional Living
YES! A routine and rhythm is essential to family life I think. I thrive when there is a plan set in place. I think Moo does as well actually…even at this young age!
