But after reading a post about saying yes by Ann Voskamp at A Holy Experience earlier in the year (I think it was in January), I decided to try to yes more often. I've written about it quite a bit on the blog -- it's been liberating...and a little scary!Michelle DeRushahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658349105535790020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134254466445610818.post-46861467047053876362010-07-26T16:44:47.369-04:002010-07-26T16:44:47.369-04:00I love that banana slicing idea.

When I caught one child carving his name into his headboard with a pocket knife. (Ben's bed still has Be on it--sort of an existential thing now that he's a teen.)<br />Other no's? Bows and arrows in the back yard, homemade explosives (that was an easy one,) and no to my youngest when he was six and wanted to paint his room black.Rebecca Ramseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14851717214205302476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134254466445610818.post-41945607591903758612010-07-26T13:51:09.132-04:002010-07-26T13:51:09.132-04:00I am trying to be a "yes" mom more and m...I am trying to be a "yes" mom more and more, but some days I forget this goal of mine.
