I am SO excited to be participating in the Ministry of Motherhood Book Club along with Jolanthe from No Ordinary Moments and many others out there! Since I can’t figure out the whole group thing at the Good Morning Girls website, I’m going to just chime in on Jolanthe’s discussion…
Since implementing Our Household and Discipline Rules, we’ve found that time-out’s just don’t really cut it for the older kids. We wanted something a little more effective when dealing with disobedience and poor behavior. Since our Chore Chart has been received so well, I decided to add in some Discipline…
I’ve gotten several emails lately asking me how I “do it all”, you know, homeschool, cook, clean, do laundry, make printables, blog, and stay sane. After I got done laughing hysterically, I thought I should just be honest and lay it out for you. Keep it real. The short answer:…
