Keeping a clean house can be like pulling teeth...a lot of pressure now, and painful later. Most of us fuss and "remind" until we're blue in the face. Hi, my name is "most of us", and I'm a recovering fusser. It has been quite a journey, I have gone through several chart variations, attempted several systems of reward and discipline, and lots and lots of sighing very deeply. The "Task" Center This area consists of three important parts to help us stay on task; Customized Chore Charts, Work…

Hi Everyone, happy Wednesday and Happy Halloween! No I haven't lost my mind!! I know Halloween is over, but I wanted to share some pictures with you!

Well last week Linda sent me pictures of her decorated home! I was so blown away I asked her permission to share them with you!! She may not be crafty, but…

LOVE THIS ~~ Positive reinforcement ~~ Put a cotton ball, marble, pom-pom, etc. in every time you catch your child being good. Do something special when it's full. This is exactly what I need instead of focusing on the bad.

Ummm…people. It will be NOVEMBER in a mere days. What in the world? Less than two months till Christmas! And I still had my beachy vignette up till today. ;) The new floors kind of put a wrench in the Halloween decor – most of it has been outside till today. But I finally got a little spooky display going with just days to spare! My Craigslist buffet in the foyer was such a great find – and it’s so fun to snazz it up every season. I love having this space to decorate!: I threw this together…
