SIMPLE EVERYDAY CHORE ROUTINE FOR KIDS

Leave a reply

Kid’s chores! Do you believe in giving your children responsibilities around the house? I think that training kids to clean and tidy a home empowers them for the time when they leave home. I want my kiddos to be confident in their ability to keep a home. My sons do chores right along with me and my daughter, because at our house we are all one big team. What are your thoughts on kids chores? I know some people will say, “just let them be kids”, or that it’s wrong to have kids help and the parents should do everything. I disagree. I believe that self-esteem comes from hard work. When you work hard you become proud of yourself and I think that is super important for confidence. I would love to hear your thoughts on this in the comments! Please give this video a Thumbs Up if you like my approach to kids chores and don’t forget to subscribe for more home and mommy related videos! I can’t wait to see Julie’s video as well! Virtual hugs to all! -Juli

HOW TO SAVE MONEY AND LIVE ON ONE INCOME AS A STAY AT HOME MOM

Leave a reply

Today I’m sharing how to save money and live on one income as a stay at home mom. I have been at home with my kids for the last 8 years. Here are some of my best money saving tips as a homemaker. Living off one income has it’s challenges, but I’m so glad that we are able to make it work so that I can be home to homeschool my children. I pray that if you are wanting to stay at home God will show you a way to make it work in the money department. Sometimes we have to make sacrifices to save money to live the lifestyle we choose, but it is totally worth it if you are doing something that you are passionate about. Do you have any tips for frugal living and saving money or paying off debt? Please let us all know in the comments. Thanks for watching! -Juli

MY STAY AT HOME MOM MORNING ROUTINE MAY 2017 / SPRING SAHM EDITION

Leave a reply

Today I’m sharing an ideal version of our spring morning routine for may 2017. As a stay at home mom, things don’t always go this smoothly, but this is a general idea of what we do to start our day. Some mornings the young ones wake up happy, but some days they wake up cranky and we have to take it slow and enjoy lots of cuddles before we do anything productive. Please keep in mind that SAHM routines or day in the life / get ready with me videos are meant to be a source of inspiration, not an object of comparison. Nobody has a perfect morning every morning. Also, a lot of my morning routine is contingent on whether or not I followed my evening routine the night before! I’ll get around to making an evening routine video eventually, but the idea is that if I don’t do an evening living room tidy and kitchen cleanup the next morning my house will not look like it does in this video! I am working on my cleaning habits and routines, but I also have to be patient with myself. As a momma of littles my time is not my own and I have to be ok with that during this season. Love you all! -Juli

P.S. I do my hair and makeup in the afternoon and we do our Bible study along with school and at night. 😉

If you like group buys, local Facebook cloth diaper groups can be a good way to get a deal. Many people like buying pre-loved diapers that way as well. That was never my thing, but it works well for some people!  Another way to save money is to buy in bulk from manufacturer websites although shipping time can be lengthy.

Also, I like using arrowroot powder ( http://amzn.to/2o7jmZ1 ) as a natural alternative to baby powder. I bought a little spice shaker from the grocery store for it. I don’t take it with me in my purse. It stays at home since I don’t need powder that often. 🙂
