Yay! Kids Can Help with the Laundry! (Video) My own kids have been helping to do their own laundry since they were 3 and 4 years old. I just thought I would share this cute video of Jendi’s children doing laundry. I think you’ll really enjoy it! (And hopefully be inspired.) By the way, this is a great summer time “training” project…which should help relieve stress during the busy school year if you have older children. *You can visit Jendi’s blog, by clicking here. Note: By the way if you’re interested in doing your own Vlogging (video blogging), Jendi offers some great tips! Check it out by clicking here.]]>

No wonder I’m always making a mess in the kitchen! For you moms out there, I want to encourage you not to feel like you have to be super mom all the time. Remember to delegate jobs. I started teaching my boys how to fold their own laundry when they were only 4 years old. (And remember, things don’t always have to be perfect!)…

How to Have More Spare Time to Do the Things You Want to Do
How to Have More Spare Time to Do the Things You Want to Do I love having spare time to do things that I like to do such as reading, relaxing or even working online blogging, don’t you?

Just Say “No” by Blair Massey What would you do if you were asked to chaperone your child’s field trip but your schedule was already full? Would you say yes and later regretting it?
