ReplyDeletesome day we need to have a "chore" discussion. We struggle with wanting to give them the responsibilities but lacking time for them to accomplish it (because we start the bedtime process at 6:30). Love to know how you do it...
Holy Moley. That's insane. But it won't last long! :)
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me to be thankful for this time of singleness! :)
ReplyDeleteYou're a fantastic mom and I love to see how you relate to your kids. Thanks for being such a great example!
