Will we never learn that it can't be done? It really doesn’t seem right that we keep trying and trying to do more with less. Will we never learn that it can’t be done?

Amen to that. Our family has such a busy life, but as the master scheduler I work hard to schedule NOTHING! Insightful post Kathy! :) I like the idea of 50% LESS! Amen to that.

It is something I've been thinking about quite a bit lately. Haven't come up with a lot of solutions, yet, though. Great post, Kathy! It is something I’ve been thinking about quite a bit lately.

We have started focusing our family on cutting back. Cutting back spending, cutting back running around, cutting back our focus on wordly goods and more on our family. Great post!

The other day I ordered a SMALL diet coke, and when it arrived I couldn't help thinking that, if this was a small drink, then the large must be served in a bucket or something! Unfortunately, we seem to be living in a day and age where bigger cars, bigger homes, intricate phones, and the idea of more, more, more is a driving force. When my family hosted a nun from Tanzania this summer, we truly recognized the beauty of simplicity and what a gift it can be in our lives. Sometimes all we have to do is decide we want it . . . and I really want it! Less is definitely best!

Everyone keeps upping the ante, as it were. Nothing is ever enough. I, too, just want to be a regular mom having a regular day, rather than multi-tasking and trying to be in 3 places at once. Whatever happened to sitting still? I know, I know, everything is more, more, more. Everyone keeps upping the ante, as it were. Nothing is ever enough.
