Balancing Family and Work

The guys at HighCallingBlogs, FaithInTheWorkplace and Laity Lodge Family Camp are asking the question "How do YOU balance family and work?" , and giving away a free family camp (http://llfamilycamp.org/family-fun-time-giveaway/).

For me, it's a lot of little things. We often think that 'family time' has to be complex organised activities, but I think that everyday activities like getting the kids bathed and ready for bed is just as important. Some of the most special times with my children have been playing rough and tumble games on the floor after dressing them in their pyjamas.

Then there are times like today, when I took the kids for a daddy-day, doing the groceries and playing in the playground, so that my wife could do her university study in peace.

We do of course have special activities. A favourite family activity is taking the kids to the playground, or having a barbecue. As my kids grow older I'm sure we'll come up with other ideas.
