I have to go along with others. Your kids are only this age for a little while .I wish I had spent more time with my kids when they were small but there was always something that needed to be done "perfectly" . 5 is old enough to spend time teaching to sew small things. Do they still make those cards that can be sewn with shoelaces? Maybe there is another mom that wants an hour or two to herself and you all can trade playdates. I know its harder today then it use to be.
