I went on a family walk last night with my husband, daughter and her two neighborhood friends. On the way back, we stopped for a little break. This is what I learned in a brief ten minutes at the park. Love the free and playful spirit of a child.
Life is more enjoyable with a friend at your side.
For greater enjoyment, lean into life!
Real living is feeling the grass between your toes and throwing your socks up ahead of you.
For the fresh perspective on the world, try laying low with your belly down. You just might like it.
Even when life turns upside, you can still have fun.
No matter if you win or lose, enjoy the race! And who cares who’s watching.
We just need to get back to the basics; family, love and God.
Everything will fall into place when we finally learn to slow down and start learning how to enjoy life once again.
Thank you for sharing this.
Loved this! I don’t play as much as I should. I need to do this more often for my kids and for myself!
Awww, awesome pictures!!!
I once heard that having children is like receiving a second chance to live like a child again 🙂 it’s true! My son is the perfect excuse for me to jump on the bed, play in the park, and nibble on cookie dough 🙂 God is amazing!
Such sweet times.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! I love your analogies. I can relate to learning from them!
Happy Weekend!
In Him,
Nicole
Just precious Tiffany!!
Happy Mother’s Day to one very special mom I greatly admire♥
Hi Tiffany
Thanks for stopping by my blog. You have a great place here.. BEAUTIFUL!!
We love to take evening walks too. Mostly because it’s so hot here during the day..
Hope to be back to visit again soon!
Love your Compassion Button too. My daughter is currently heading up Compassion Sundays at our church and getting more children sponsored. We love Compassion!
What great pictures, and what a great life lessons.
I need to play more, too!
I can feel the wind in my hair on the swing! B
I love swings and cartwheels. Just haven’t done either in a long while. Thanks for sharing the photos, really nice.
Love, peace and blessings for a happy mother’s day!

Play time … God knew what He was doing when He gave us children to set that example!
Blessings to you, my friend.
What fun pictures. I could hear the laughter and feel the warm spring air. Isn’t it so true that we often find the greatest joys in the simplest things.
Happy Mothers’ Day!
Cute photos! Happy Mother’s Day to you!
Thank you for visiting my blog so that I in turn had the privilege of discovering your beautiful, inspiring blog. As I read down through the first few posts, I quickly realized we have some of the same thoughts. The fog…oh, how perfectly you expressed my heart…driving through the fog on so many days, yet knowing in my heart, eventually it will clear and I will understand. I will be back when I have time to sit and read back over more of your posts.
Lovely post.
Loving your playful heart, and the lessons in it.
You have a beautiful voice. I’m enjoying listening here, over “Tea” with Tiffany.

I love the innocence of childhood. Now that my MIL had dementia, she’s recaptured that and I’d have to say that we would all do well to savor the little things in life like the joy of a swing and the flavor of an ice cream cone. Great post.
Very nice Tiffany. Family time is so precious and I enjoyed your message.
Happy Mother’s Day dear sister. Love ya.
Tiffany, Your writing reveals the “Happy” in Mother’s Day. Every day is a mother’s day. I wrote about “Pain or Promise:The Price of Children” at http://www.courageoussingleparenting.blogspot.com/
Too often we miss the everyday rewards children bring. I love how you capture those sweet moments.
I love this Tiffany, we can learn so much from our kids can’t we!
Thank you so much for your prayers and concerns for me this week, I am much better, my pain lifted on Friday and has not come back… we did have to take David to the ER Thursday night to get stitches in his ear, he and his brother were playing Red Rover and he fell and hit the wall and almost sliced his ear in half… but he is fine now.
Have a wonderful Mother’s Day!
Blessings!
Looks like so much fun!
I wonder what the years actually change, I used to be able to do those things but I think if I were to try now I would break 🙂
Have a wonderful mother´s day!
How blessed you are to appreciate the beauty of childhood and embrace it every minute.
God Bless You! Happy Mother’s Day and thanks for popping over in my world~

Loved the pictures!
Happy Mother’s Day
Love ya!
What a fun time at the park, Tiffany. Love the pictures. My favorite one is to enjoy the grass between our toes. Great lessons!
Happy Mother’s Day!
Tiffany… I love the pictures and each message fits so perfectly!! Jesus loves the little children! No wonder he said “Let them come to me”. Blessings to you and your family and Happy Mother’s Day!
The most fun and memorable times are often the most simple. Your children will always remember this.

“Enjoy the race and who cares who’s watching!” I can take this piece of wisdom into every single part of my life.
Thanks for this beautiful post with beautiful pictures.
