Here is to a balanced May that involves spending an amount of self-care (receiving) closer to the amount of time I spend caring for others (giving).  I have gotten smarter over the years (and my children are grown up), so I have scheduled my workouts first for May and then work.  Farming chores are pretty consistent times, so that is easier to plan around.<\/li>\n<li>Screen Free Week is May 5th to 11th! \u00a0 Here are some\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.commercialfreechildhood.org\/resource\/real-life-strategies-reducing-children%E2%80%99s-screen-time\">real-life strategies for reducing children\u2019s screen time.<\/a>  As adults, we often need to reduce screen time and social media time and I am making that a habit focus for May.
