This is why we choose to live life the way we do.  It is why we homeschool.  It is why I choose to not have a “career”.  It is why we don’t have fancy cars, or vacation in Hawaii every year.  It is why we don’t feel guilty for doing things a little bit different.

Because life is sweeter when your brother is your best friend.

Because life is sweeter when it is spent with people who truly love you.

Because life is sweeter when God is invited into every part of it.

Because life is sweeter when Mommy is there to guide you every step of the way, until you are ready to take those steps on your own.

Because life is sweeter, when it is just a little bit slower.

Because life is sweet, and I don’t plan on missing a minute of it.
