Ponderings...

I've been pondering the busy life we tend to lead. How much is too much? What is important - what is necessary - what is useless? The list could go on and on. With a large family there are so many choices. I crave simple and slow but we REALLY don't live that way. We do spend a lot of time together since we are a home school family. We do spend a lot of time on character development. However, sometimes I wonder if I am defeating the training I strive to do with the activities outside our home. I know we can't live in a cocoon but I'm thinking a hot house sure would be nice. I'm going to think on this tonight and post more tomorrow. Meanwhile, what do you think about schedules?
