"Intentional parenting is really not about spending every single second with your children. It's not providing them something to do and having days so structured that they move from event to event to event. In some ways, parenting with an intentional heart is this understanding that you are slowly letting them go...It's brave to just keep going even when you're tired, weary, and honestly just a bit tired of pouring cereal and milk.
Pouring cereal and milk? Don't overlook that. That's the fabric of motherhood. You start pouring it for them, then you teach them, then they do it on their own, and then you don't worry about them getting it because you've taught them how. A simple analogy, but the truth."
