HOPE

Image
It's a new year and to be honest, I love new beginnings.  I love finishing off things - like the cereal box or a notebook.. - anyone else get some satisfaction over using something up?  But I also love the start of things...  beginning of the school year, the starting of a new program, the first page of a new book - there is something so Hopeful about new beginnings.  And this new year is not without that Hope.  Last year I joined the movement (per se) of choosing a word of the year.  That word was Believe.  This year I have wondered if I'd have a word again.  Tossing around lots in my head - but nothing seemed to settle with me.  Then..  it came.  Written at the end of a talk I'm doing for a MOP's group next week.  I talk about Surrendering.  And no - that's not my word, although it's a good one!  I end my talk by saying that Surrendering brings HOPE.  And I read it again, and it resonated with me.  No...

Chores for Kids

I posted on Facebook the other day about this chore chart that I made up for my kids and there were quite few people that wanted to see more or had questions about it - so I'll share!   First a confession.  My kids have never had a set chore list.  There, I said it.  Does that make me a bad mom?  Maybe..  They get asked to help and do specific things as they come up, but no set chore list.  Mainly because I'm terrible at follow through.  And, I would forget.  Don't think less of me..  mmkay?   BUT, I'm at my limit with house work and other responsibilities and my kids are becoming too whiny when asked to help and as they get older there are more fun things and privileges for them, so I'm committing to sticking with some chores and responsibilities for my kids.  And, it's way past time.   I made it mostly for when they get home from school, before they start asking about screen time....

When summer winds down

Image
It is still hot, sometimes muggy.  Those pesky mosquito's are still out nimbling on ankles and elbows and my big toe but the nights begin to feel a little cooler....  when summer starts to wind down. The back to school lists are long, the school supply section at the stores are crowded and little people are picking colors for folders and crayons and lunchboxes...  all when summer starts to wind down. We have found out what teachers we have, and we see the end...  the days are numbered and the air is mixed with both excited anticipation and a sweet bitterness of summers end, as summer starts to wind down. That September calendar comes out and fills in, there is talk of Thanksgiving and Christmas plans as the sunblock bottles start to go empty, when summer starts to wind down. New crispy jeans are bought and new soft sweaters feel so tempting to put on.  Bathing suits are put away in exchange for long sleeves.  Cleats are pulled out for soccer. ...
