Want to connect with your kids? Check out this great little video from Happiness Project writer Gretchen Rubin (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jgVKw9rXRg). it really inspired me to savor every moment with my 10 year-old, and she’s responded amazingly. Would love to hear how it works for you….

    Loved it! Thank you Paula! We all need to be reminded how quickly time passes. Now when my kids want to do something with I never hesitate to say yes, even if it means the housecleaning won’t get done!

    Great video reminder of what I already know but can easily forget. I will think of this tomorrow morning when I have to get up at 6am (which I hate) to get my kids off to school and then me off to work. Instead of thinking as I usually do, only 5 more years of getting up at the crack of dawn. I’ll have the same thought but with a happy sigh – or at least I’ll try to!
