I’ve hit a few snags in my days recently. (Don’t we all!) But usually…just like my machine all we need is a simple rethreading. A change of pace, a change of scenery, … a change! Here are some of our (very tried and true) favorite “rethreading” tricks!
- go outside – fresh air…no matter the temperature or precipitation level always restores some sanity to our crazy little group…this is always our most successful “rethreading” technique
- bake something – fun to do, yummy to eat…it’s a change and a treat
- go to the library – we always come home with fresh adventures to read, books to inspire activities and creative work, etc.
- make a fort – or set up a tent – at the very least it contains the crazy to one place…but usually it opens up a new world and leaves the crazy behind!
- take a bath – water is magical for children and there’s nothing like a warm bath to calm a frazzled little soul!
Whatever the method, knowing how to “rethread” your machine is so important! I rely on our favorite methods (more regularly than I would like to admit!!!) and am always looking for new ways to get us out of a snaggy little place and back on track! Sometimes…all you can do is glory in a new day…!

So…how do you rethread your machine?
