Everyone has a miracle..here is ours..: The Ryle Family Pre-School

How I walk through life...

“I believe that the very purpose of life is to be happy. From the very core of our being, we desire contentment. In my own limited experience I have found that the more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It helps remove whatever fears or insecurities we may have and gives us the strength to cope with any obstacles we encounter. It is the principal source of success in life. Since we are not solely material creatures, it is a mistake to place all our hopes for happiness on external development alone. The key is to develop inner peace.”

The Ryle Family Pre-School

So, what happens to a home that occupies two children, ages one and two?
It turns into a Pre-School!!
You can ask..myself..my neighbors, friends..anyone..We used to have nice things,valuable,breakable adult like things..Everything had its place..Everything felt warm and exact..Now, it is
CHAOS, and that is O.K..
Due to my ultra high maintenance children, we have begun transforming our home.The basement is now one giant Pre-School...I have set up an arts and crafts area, music section, "food and house pretend play station", T.V. section, reading and learning section and train station.. Perfect for all the little people! I have ensured every safety precation has been met, and yes, this has given me time...Time to do dishes, talk on the phone, do laundry..whatever I wish for 10-15 minutes at a crack..the girls are happily occupied...
Now..onto the rest of the house..The bathroom and kitchen will be gutted this year, and soon..perhaps twenty years from now I can once again enjoy the breakable things of my past!
