This free printable chore list for 9-12 year olds contains blanks for eighteen chores for your kids to do. Plus, I am also including lists with chore ideas. I created blank templates of the chore lists you can add your own as well. Each family has different rooms and tasks to do. I tried to stick to fairly universal ones for the list. This list was originally created for my 9-year-old on notebook paper. I just dressed it up to share with y’all. Last night before bed, my youngest son asked me to write down a list of “23 chores” […]

When it comes to inspirational quotes on things like self improvement, character, life choices, anything like that, I think your best source is straight from the Bible. Think about it.

How to Stop Being a Clothes Hoarder

Today I am going to be talking about one of my favorite topics: decluttering your clothes and how to stop being a clothes hoarder!! ***Insert squeal of delight.*** I have a system for organizing clothes that I came up with many years ago. With this system, I never have to “clean out my closet” because it always stays cleaned out. Oh, and yes, my clothes are still crammed in pretty tight because I do not have a great big walk in closet all to myself. I have a small walk-in closet that I share with my husband.

Me carrying this book around was […]

She was definitely one of the wisest people I have ever known in real life. In fact, I cannot think of anyone wiser. I always thought of Deborah as a godly mentor who I aspired to be more like. Deborah blessed our entire family’s life. She changed us for the better. And she passed away this past week from a very aggressive cancer. Deborah could not have been older than her fifties either, so she […]
