    • Thanks Natalie! I guess working moms face similar problems in many countries. I really feel bad that I am spending more time with other children instead of my own.
      I’ve just taken my kids to the Bird Park today! Looking forward to carrying out the other activities.

  1. I loved reading about your plans! I love how you listed local resources for affordable fun- that’s what a busy mom always needs! Happy Holidays!

  2. I believe quality time is much more important than quantity time, and it sounds like you are giving them good quality time! The time you spend with other children is so valuable too!

  3. Unfortunately, not all of these things are free in Chicago any more. I totally agree with your idea of doing things together for the holiday, though.

  4. Your gift of time to do activities together and visit places of interest sounds like like a wonderful way to give a lot of fun during the holidays! Thank you for a great post!

    Your children are adorable. I think taking photos with family and spending time together are key. Those photos will serve you in good stead in years to come when your children are older and eager to know what they did as little ones and where they went. They’re the proof in the pudding so to speak that you’re an active, invested mother. Well done!
