Day Nineteen – Manners

Day Nineteen – Manners

One of the areas where my kids struggle and that also drives me crazy is their manners, especially at the table. When the kids were born, I made a commitment that we would sit down at the table every night we were home and eat as a family. It was important to me that we had that time together and I ...

Day Eighteen – A Day Off

Day Eighteen – A Day Off

All day on Wednesday, I was counting down the hours until the kids went to spend the night with their grandparents and most of the day on Thursday. I was going to get almost 24 hours to myself. To some that may sound really selfish, but there are times when we need a break, we need a day off from ...

Day Seventeen – Fall Break

It is Fall Break the next two days, meaning the kids are out of school. Thankfully, the kids are spending part of today with their grandparents so that is giving me a nice break to get my strength ready for three days of them being home. I would be lying if I didn't say that I am a little nervous ...

We are at the half way point in this 31 Day Challenge and although things aren't where I want them yet, I'm pleased with the progress. The kids are doing MUCH better in the mornings as far as getting ready to go out the door to school. They are doing better with not talking back as much. Things are ...

Day Fifteen – Getting Involved

Since January of this year, I have been unable to work and been home which has been a huge difference for me. I was very involved in my career and working my way to the top and often my days were filled with work even when I came home. The thing I wasn't able to do being a career woman is to get ...

Day Fourteen – One Step Forward, Two Steps Back

I have to say the weekend didn't go as I had hoped. It was one of the moments when I realized we had taken one step forward, two steps back. It was a completely frustrating weekend and Sunday night I felt very unappreciated and defeated. However, I will keep on trying because giving up is not an ...
