Momma Dates

Today I will be taking my second oldest on a momma date.  A momma date is some special one on one time with me.  The kids seem to love it but I REALLY love it!!!  When you spend so much of your time as a family group, it is such a special treat to talk to each individual child away from everyone else.  I took my oldest last week and we had lunch and a great conversation about our school, his future, our upcoming trip to Uganda, and much more.  Today is date #2 with child #2 and I am looking forward to it!  I have to give credit to my dear friend Kim who taught me the value of these times.  She is a wonderful mother of 6 who encouraged me to start doing these one on one times which we have come to call the momma date.  Also on the agenda for today: dentist appointments, library, karate lessons and my oldest son is having a friend over to spend the night!  Whew, better get going!
