{weekend} lovelies

March 9, 2013

Happy Weekend!

For this edition of {Weekend} Lovelies,

I thought I would create our Lovelies based on a need in my home.

I am a guilty Mama of constantly doing EVERYTHING for my kids.

Shoe tying, dressing, teeth brushing,

all while trying to get out the door on time.

It is time to rise to the occasion to the fact that Mason and Madeline

are old enough to be doing most of these

responsibilities on their own.

If I don’t make a change, I am doomed……

or their wife and husband will be………

 

 

{Organize your your home>><< Tidy Mom}

If Mama is not organized then how can I expect the kids to listen.

Having items labeled and put away in a tidy manner

can help the kids to identify their placement

as well as it allows others {such as husbands} to help. 

Creating more “Family Time” and less yelling…..

Tips to organize your home

 

 Okay so I have made an excuse or two that the kids were too young…..

Well they are not, responsibility charts

can be implemented for toddlers.

Speaking of not being too young…..

here are some chore ideas for toddlers

I know as a Mom that has experienced ABA Therapy,

sometimes a visual works better as a reminder that they

must “work first” in order to be rewarded.

 Of course a reward is needed to reinforce

good behavior!

Of course these changes won’t happen over night.

It is something to work on one day at a time.

When all else fails,

 

and take a moment

to remind yourself of your household goals.

then get back in the game…….

I know my goal is to implement these ideas

to allow for more time in my day.

Have a great weekend!
