Mommy Banker

Work to live. Live to love.

The Years are Short

 Gretchen Rubin has just released a short video about the value of time spent with our loved ones.   “The days are long, but the years are short.”

As a working mom,  it struck close to home.  I’m often so busy trying to squeeze time to be THE superwoman and often forget that for my son, all I need to do is be his mom.

  3. Thanks for sharing this video. It struck me too how we take the time we spend with our kids for granted.
