We ate things like cooked sausages, a healthy fruit salad and half of a leftover roast chicken from Thursday. As well as that we also served fruit and ice cream in bowls for dessert. I have a color coded system for housework. Each day of the week is represented by a coloured star. For example, Monday is blue, Tuesday is red and so on.

I remember having all littles and hearing about moms of many who kept their homes neat and clean, and I just cried. I thought I was a failure. Now I know better. It takes time to get to this point!Aflyonmyhomeschoolwallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746892667170459729noreply@blogger.com
