Gordie is spot on.

There is no need for you or the children to be ashamed of walking around with suitcases. Just imagine the comments and looks they got.

Duplicate what they have at home or even better...get them something totally different so that they have something to look forward to when they are at your place.


Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to.
The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
