During my first year of teaching, my principal encouraged his teachers to stray from our daily agenda if a "teachable moment" presented itself. I was always aware of these moments as a teacher but, struggle sometimes as a mother. Just too much to do with the chores of daily life. However last week, I got a reminder in the form of a GOOP newsletter. I enjoy getting these each week from by friend Gwyneth P. This week the focus was to "Be" with our children. So perhaps I overdid it this weekend with Valentine Card Making, family cleaning day, baking homemade cupcakes from scratch, and then watching Gwyneth's hubby on 60 minutes.
