Quality Time

I gotta have my quality time.

I've heard other specialists and various books say that "quality time" is not what you need.  You need "TIME" period.  You need to spend a LOT of time with them, quality or not.  Maybe it's just sitting around shooting the breeze, or clipping their fingernails.  And I agree.  The more time spent talking to your kids the better.

But I LOVE the special, quality times when you can get them.

I remember going to the store and getting a frozen treat to share with Kassy and Kitty.  Taking a walk in the little park and watching the squirrels with just Konner.  Running with Keith. It's quality time because it's special one on one time.

One thing I remember as a kid is making cupcakes with my mom.  It's fun to recreate that magic with my own kids.

And I like eating cupcakes.
