Countdown To Kisses (Free Printable)

It’s kind of a cloudy, drizzly day today.  The kind where you want to stay home curled up in a blanket.  I’ve heard we are supposed to get some snow but I haven’t seen anything yet.  I hope it’s not much because we still have quite a bit since the last huge dumping weeks ago.  Last weekend Brittany and I made the best of the snow and took the kids tubing.  We had a lot of fun even though there were some bumps and scratches.  Connor is quite the clown with a great sense of humor.  He get’s it from his mom.  Here’s the conversation that actually took place at the start of a race.  Connor is 4.

Chore Cards

Happy Monday Everyone!

Lately I have been having my girls do some chores around the house besides making their beds and putting their clothes away. It has not been as helpful as I was hoping it would be and most of the time it turns out to be a battle.

A friend of mine came up with this idea and I loved it so much I wanted to share.

I really hope this works better than our current system of mom yelling to get things done.

I included a printable for you. 1 for girls and 1 for boys.

What are some ideas you have for getting your kids to help around the house?

How is it possible that January is almost over?  I had always heard that the older you get the faster time goes.  I’m beginning to think that’s true.

WOWZERS!

Anyway…..Valentine’s Day is right around the corner.  I love this day.  I hope you have as many wonderful people in your life as I do.  They are the “loves” of my life.  I want to celebrate each one of them and show them how much I love them.  In the next few weeks I will share with you some of the things I will be doing.

I don’t know why but I’ve never had too many Valentine’s Day decorations.  I suspect it’s because I have so many Christmas decorations and the last thing I want to do is decorate again.  Do any of you feel the same way?  So, this year I thought I would make something to put on my mantle; a little something to bring the spirit of love in my home.
