"What Are You Doing Mami?"

This, more frequently than any other salutation or question, is what I am most consistently bombarded with, from the moment my children wake, until I am walking out of their room at bed time.


A simple question, indicative of their curiosity and powers of observation.  And on a grander scale, penchant for imitation.


Children learn my modeling the behaviors of adults.  They want to do as I do. 


When they inquire as to the nature of my actions, it forces me to examine them as well.  Am I using my time wisely?  Am I applying myself in a cheerful, productive manner?  Am I blessing my children through faithful education, diligent work, and loving play?


Am I {as the Shaker saying goes,} keeping my "hands to work, heart to God?"

When little eyes are watching, what will your answer be?








{Want to know what I'm doing?  You never have to wonder!}
