Thanks for that. Very nice. My three year old is probably my best teacher. My wife a close second. We are lucky to have these kinds of people to enrich our lives and our practice.

Lovely post about the wisdom of our children. I had a peep at your own blog and you have some gorgeous photos there. Nice to “meet” you!

Your words, Lindsey, are just as beautiful here as at A Design So Vast. The common denominator, of course, is you.

I’m grateful for your eyes, your view of the world, you perspective, your heart, and of course…the way you so eloquently, powerfully, and vulnerably share that with the rest of us.

As always, I’m moved.

(Thanks for having Lindsey here, Karen!)

It really is incredible the lessons we can learn when we open our hearts and minds to the things our children say.
Lovely, as always!

I think I will tuck this one away and carry it with me awhile.

Our children are our teachers, in infinite ways. We only have to turn to them, open our eyes, and **see**.

Thank you for this lovely reminder, Lindsey. It’s a pleasure to see you guest posting here!!!

Children have a way of putting things in perspective. Sometimes I am in such a hurry, but my daughter slows me down, asking me questions about the most minute things. I don’t have all the answers, but I love the way she observes, the world is waiting for her the moment she puts her foot out the door.

Congrats on your guest post.

So happy to see Lindsey here! Whit and Grace are so wise beyond their years, I can’t get enough of her stories about them.

I know what you mean about silly adages, and I know what you mean about having them proven right! My best friend, Heidi, has three children, and one day her daughter said, “Mom, pay attention to me.” She responded, “I am.” And her daughter said, “No you aren’t. I can’t see your eyes.” And it’s so true, isn’t it? A kid’s world is so small — and that’s not a bad thing.

I’m constantly thrown by the simple wisdom of my children. They amaze me, and really do teach me lessons every day. I think it comes because they focus on the moment. The obvious. Sometimes as adults we miss the obvious. Motherhood has been very humbling for this reason.

Lovely to see you over here Lindsey!
