*The way in which we all know Skye desires to attempt no matter we’re consuming= she spits her binky out on the bottom and crawls turbo pace to the particular person consuming one thing and sits on her knees ready for meals. Beretta does the identical factor.
*We created a retailer. The children have a retailer at their college. We see the way it actually motivates them so we wished to attempt it as a reward system at dwelling. They get a jelly bean for issues like finishing their after college routine (a chore/homework/studying/room) or after we see them do one thing very nice for any individual else… jelly beans will also be taken away. I’ll let you know the way it goes over the subsequent few months however up to now it’s the speak of the home.
*I noticed this step at my sister’s home yesterday and it introduced again all kinds of recollections. This was the step that she had for when she would do her The Agency exercise VHS tapes.

*My psychological well being tip for the vacation season —> This tip is for anybody that’s going by one thing tough proper now (which I do know a whole lot of you’re proper now since you electronic mail me about some actually powerful stuff). If life is superior for you proper now, simply be happy to skip right down to the questions.
In case you are feeling lonely or harm or misplaced or any of the opposite million emotions on the market that harm, keep away from social media <– That was one of the helpful ideas I’ve ever been given from a therapist. In case you are feeling alone in any respect or wishing your life scenario was totally different, take a step again from being on-line. Each single particular person on social media goes by onerous issues or has previously, nevertheless it doesn’t look that method as you’re scrolling by (and it could be form of a downer if all of us posted each onerous factor we have been experiencing on there) and it might make you’re feeling extra alone. I’ve had a number of actually onerous vacation seasons through the years and this 12 months we’re actually going to be lacking Brooke and Knox so I’ll be following the identical tip.
Take time this season to serve (as my mother at all times says—> By serving to different individuals with their issues we magically repair a few of our personal), to study one thing new, to dive deep right into a passion, to learn issues that uplift you, to meditate, to binge watch Hallmark motion pictures, to get in some endorphins from a run, to deal with your self and to really feel what you’ll want to really feel. BUT don’t let social media make you’re feeling extra alone in case you are struggling proper now.
I REALLY hope and pray that your vacation season is wonderful, full of a lot love and all your individuals, but when it’s not… you aren’t alone in that, I’m right here for you.
On one other observe… simply go simple on your self. Whether or not that’s feeling you aren’t sticking to your coaching otherwise you aren’t in a position to give the entire presents you wish to otherwise you aren’t making a 12 course meal on Christmas Eve otherwise you’ve been residing off of peppermint bark for the final week, be form to your self. You might be sufficient, you’re doing greater than sufficient and revel in each second of this lovely time of 12 months. Like at all times, I’m at all times right here to electronic mail in case you are having a tough time!
Lengthy story quick, I’m fascinated about you and there may be a lot brightness up forward!
I’ll miss these two little ones however we’re going to have a heck of a December twentieth celebrating collectively.
I believe our household simply must get used to celebrating holidays on totally different days anyway as soon as Andrew begins working as a nurse and on most of the holidays:)
