Because some days are just silly and I promised you "#reallife
Sometimes instead of folding laundry, it gets used to make a "fashion statement".
Laughter is medicine for the soul....
Humor is important when you are parenting, especially single parenting kids from hard places.
Stress and trauma releases stress hormones which can alter the brain, especially in young children...
But laughter and fun release another kind of chemical reaction in your brain....
So we strive to add lots of giggles into our days...

Yes! I've been trying to remember to incorporate fun into our days! To easy to have them be chores and laundry and cooking and bedtime...
ReplyDeleteIt can be very hard to remember to bring in the fun... but as they heal more and more, they can handle jokes and mom's silliness much better. I am naturally a bit goofy so that helps! lol
ReplyDeleteI also try to do lots of relaxing vacations etc.. I did a lot of research on the impact of trauma on the brain.
