Let Them Build Forts

Last night the kids built a fort in the living room and watched movies. They ate dinner and breakfast this morning in their fort. Although I'm very strict about keeping things neat, I've always allowed them to make forts. I remember doing this with my cousins and how much fun it would be. In their minds, what looks like a big mess to adults, is a castle to them. I want to get to a place where I can clear my mind sometimes of all the stress of being an adult and just allow my mind to take me somewhere else. I think I'll start coloring again because that use to do it for me. It's important to just breathe sometimes and clear your mind. So if you ever find me coloring in a fort just know I'm taking a grown up break and getting my mind cleared and refocusing! More adults should try it!
