I am reading this new book (I am obsessed with books) that is called The Children You Want With The Kids You Have. It is an LDS book oriented on obviously raising kids to be hard working, responsible people. Well I am only on the second chapter and already have implemented the ideas into my home. It stated to get the children more excited, to get them thier own "cleaning tote" with their individual cleaning supplies. So I headed to the dollar store (love that place) and purchased each child thier own:
- Basket with handles (tote)
- Rubber Gloves
- Dusting wand
- Reusable/Washable rags
- Scrubbing Sponge
Let me tell you, they were SOOO excited to get thier own supplies, they were ready to go before I could finish telling them about it. Here is a picture of Tianna and Tera's. Morgann and Carson have their own. All color coordinated.. hahaha. Morg = blue, Carson = green, Tianna = pink, Tera = purple. Ill keep you posted on how this works, and with other ideas from the book.
