create

I read a great book last week, The Creative Family, by Amanda Blake Soule (of Soule Mama blog fame). I have to admit that some of it was a bit too hippy for me (I probably won't be sewing my own sanitary pads in the near future), but I loved most of it.  I admit that I get too focused on the mess, or on other things in life and forget to just let my kids create.  Ridiculous since I love being creative myself, and since they do.  Lately they've been wanting to do watercolors.  A lot.  So we've been taking them outside on large pieces of butcher paper and just going for it...it's so simple, right?
