Welcome! Let me introduce myself.

I am a 90% of the time stay at home mom. I have twin 5 year olds we will call Jeff and Mary. They keep me on my toes! I began to notice that watching modern television just shows rattled families that have no respect for the often times goofy father and lazy kids. I sure don't want that to be the model for how our family is brought up. My husband "Alex" is a very hard worker who my children and I both adore and respect. I find myself easily stressed by our modern times and the pace we try so hard to keep. After watching some of our favorite shows as a family, Donna Reed & Leave it to Beaver to name a few, I find that all of us are more relaxed and have had a nice moral lesson or reminder. Although I recognize that these are TV shows and not real I also believe that they are good models to learn from. Impossible to replicate I know but even if I fall WAY short, which I know I will, we will still be better off then most in our modern society. Being an antique lover and vintage nut this works very well for us. I need constant reminders on being kinder and more patient but I love Donna because even though she always seems perfect she does have her moments. As we all do.
