How has your week been so far? Messy, perhaps 
Between snowstorms, school closings, deadlines, and appointments, my week has been messier than average.
With all of us stuck in the house for three days, the whirlwinds that are my children (12, 12, 7, and 7) have pulled out board games, movies, art projects, toys, built forts, worn a million different outfits, and ate all of the snacks in the house.
And while this does overwhelm me, I also understand that kids need freedom and, yes, even mess in their lives.
