As a SAHM (stay-at-home Mom), I feel like I am "supposed" to do homemade arts & crafts, photograph every moment, and yes, play up all those holidays. Well, the holidays are crazy these days! I love this
article from the Huffington Post. I sent the kids to school/daycare with those boxed Valentine's cards. That's what I did when I was little right?! I even bought the ones with toys, tattoos, etc. The "fancy" ones right?! Well, what did the kids bring home?! Bags full of candy, pencils, mini packages assembled by one kid! Wow! I guess I didn't pinterest Valentine's Day well enough. And when did St. Patrick's day become such a big day when a leprechaun visits your home?! I didn't know that! I found out about that on many Facebook friends posting. Green footprints left behind?! Really! I'm going to try to stick to what the holidays are about. Why do we celebrate St. Patrick's Day? What does Valentine's Day mean? I'm sure as the years fly by I will get sucked into the holidays but really... how is a working parent supposed to keep up with these inflated holidays?! Just my 2 cents!
