What an great example you are to your children and everyone else you come in contact with. You are one talented, spiritual, happy, and creative person! The housework will get done and the kids will learn (I am still hoping that Emily (who will be 18) will remember all the things I have taught her about cleaning, because if you looked at her room today you would never know I taught her anything!) Just remember to enjoy your kids.... They grow up soooo fast! and soon the house is too quiet and too clean. :)<BR/>Hope to see you when I come out next week to visit the family. <BR/><BR/>Love, KarinThe Style Sistershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01018913362680137549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20670097.post-55217332021888519652008-06-28T23:40:00.000-06:002008-06-28T23:40:00.000-06:00I'm excited to read the articles.

Abe hardly has any stuff so it isn't hard for him. I think that's the key - reduce the stuff in Hannah's room. Anyways... but yeah, it seems like it's an attitude thing, where the mom really can make the difference in how the kids view work if we do it with them. That's a great example you shared of working with the boys at the ranch. Was that the Jacobsen's ranch?<BR/><BR/>Wow - you only have 65 days to go? Amazing how time flies when I'm the one not pregnant -eh?!! I hope all is well and that you're feeling okay. And I hope you can stay cool during the summer months. That would be hard when prego. Good luck!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09915463736572413585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20670097.post-55183512183281064892008-06-27T16:40:00.000-06:002008-06-27T16:40:00.000-06:00great post Jen!

And even though it takes four times the amount of time having the kids help, or helping them do something, it really helps them learn to be responsible and how to do things correctly. I get frustrated when parents tell kids, "go clean the room"--wow that is overwhelming to a little kid! Instead I try to go with them, and together we do one of the tasks in the room. Then maybe I give them their own task to work on as I do something else. Sure I didn't make the mess, so why should I clean it up... But, we don't want them using that excuse when helping out, so we shouldn't use it either. Love your ideas! You have motivated me to be better (and I can't wait to read the articles!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
