Many times as adult we decide or feel it is necessary to cross these certain boundaries or lines we have put up for ourselves or our families. One thing we must be careful of is our children watching us do these acts. Be sure to be ready to explain and teach to your child. <br><br>Thanks for linking up and following from Thursday's Blog Hop.

Learning to live in the gray area. Sounds like a dull metaphor, gray and all,but it is really the thinking persons area.
