We'll Take that to Go!

Originally Published on Blue Yonder

You know, I really try very hard to keep our lives simple.

I think long and hard before I sign us up for something new, because things just pile up so quickly, and I really don't want my kids' childhoods wasted away in an over-scheduled, hurry up and wait blur. I want them to have the time to explore, to linger, to lay in the grass and watch ants go about their busy lives - time to breathe. I want them to take full advantage of this one time, this short time, in their lives when they get to just be.

But, try as I might, there are times when there are complications and jam packed days that just can't be avoided.

Now and again we have to visit the doctor's office, or wait for the car to be inspected, busy ourselves between lifeguard breaks or wait for a brother to finish his music lesson.

That's how the "Go Boxes" came to be.
