Many things, really. Not designed to make parenting a breeze, per se, but rather lessening the things that waste you so that you can devote yourself to your family better.
It should come with just enough money. None to waste nor spend on big ticket designer items. But rather enough to never worry about what to eat and when and which bill will be paid first. And enough to at least start a rainy day fund.
It should come with an unlimited recipe resource. So that great, tasty & healthy meal is always within reach. When you need to be able to create supper out of pantry leftovers. For when you need to quickly throw together a potluck dish, an appetizer or a snack for a friend who just dropped by unannounced.
It should come with enough time. Not that days or weeks need to be any longer than 24-7. But enough time for 8 hours of sleep. Enough time to shower and comb hair. Enough time to kiss and hugs husband and children and play for hours on end. Enough time to clean and cook and make it out to appointments on time. Enough time to just love freely without feeling like you need to cram all your love and lessons into a few moments.

This was my second Five-Minute Friday post. I’m glad to have made it through, as I’ve been plagued by a migraine all Thursday. The rules are simple:
1–Just write for five minutes flat. Throw all caution, grammar, editing & second-guessing to the wind and just write freely for five minutes. Set a timer; it helps.
2–Go visit, read and encourage someone else. I was inspired by Lisa-Jo at The Gypsy Mama–thank you!
Happy blogging!
