Free Printable Chore List for 9-12 Year Olds

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” […]

15 Helpful Self Improvement Quotes Straight from the Bible

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. Who do you want your life to please? Yourself? Your sister? Or your judgy neighbor? Your parents? Or your kids? It cannot be done. We cannot live to please all these people we know. Only we know our own whole story. Only us, and God. All we need to please is God. Well how do we even do that? In what ways to do we even need to bother with […]

Exciting Progress on My New Blog, as Well as a Few Setbacks

Today I want to tell you all about the progress I am making on my new blog, the good, the exciting, and the discouraging news too. We are officially entering the second quarter of 2023. There has been such a huge learning curve for me on all of this. For years, I was turning away blogging work, and now that I WANT to make money, I have zero offers. That is just how the cookie crumbles sometimes. I know if I buckle down and write, and I BUILD another awesome blog space, the opportunities will come. For now, they aren’t […]

The Time Saving Mom Book is A Useful Resource

The Time Saving Mom Book Review This week I purchased the brand new book, The Time Saving Mom, by New York Times bestselling author Crystal Paine. I bought this book because it fits my interests and the niche of this blog perfectly. One of my favorite things to do is read about how to make my life better. I like to read a million tips and then maybe only actually do two of them. Ha! Do you do that? I ordered the hardback version from Amazon and carried it around the house with me. Me carrying this book around was […]

A Quick & Easy Way to Do Monthly Goal Setting

When I have a big goal that I am working on, I love the start of a new month. It is the perfect time to monitor my progress towards my goals and do my monthly goal setting for the month ahead. It is especially exciting when I have real measurable progress to celebrate and can also identify ways to grow as I keep going. Last year I wrote all about the usefulness of having a Monthly Planning Session, especially when life is extra busy or you have a major project going on. I do stand by that article. However, there […]

Put Together an Exciting Summer Bucket List for Your Whole Family

Hurray for an exciting “summer bucket list” AND for actually thinking about summer before it even gets here! I confess I am not always able to do that. Or maybe you just found this and you are in the middle of summer looking for ideas. That is okay too. Sometimes life is too busy or uncertain to get to plan far ahead. Trust me, I have been an Army wife for twenty years, so I relate hard to uncertain futures. I am going to give you plenty of ideas here to make your own summer bucket list. Plus, I made […]

New Year’s Goal Progress Check

My personal Goal Progress Report and a New Goal Tracker I made to share with you all Did you have any goals back on New Year’s day? How are you coming on those? I have worked hard on mine, fell off the horse a couple of times, got back on and worked hard again. And yet. Progress towards my goals never seems to come as quickly as I want it to. In fact, by mid-February I was online google searching things like, “How do you stick to your goals?” and “Why can’t I stick to my goals?” Anyone else like […]

How to Create the Perfect Work at Home Mom Schedule That Makes Your Life Work Better

As I transition into becoming a work at home mom, having a schedule that works became extremely important to my success. There are a billion things to do each day. How do I get them all done? And which things should I do first? And in what order? How do I keep myself on task? It is only me here, usually, so do I need a schedule? At first I thought I did not need a schedule. I can do all the things, sure. Nope. That did not work at all. I might be here alone for six hours a […]

20 Popular Trends I Refuse to Do

There are a lot of popular trends I just refuse to do. Trends come and go, and it is funny how it works. We try some out, and we refuse to do the other latest, greatest most popular trends. Fidgit spinners, poppers, skinny jeans, these things all pop up for a while and eventually they die. Skinny jeans are taking a little long to die, but then they do tuck awfully nicely into boots. Last night I came across something that is a current trend that I would never do. I was up reading, and I had an email that […]
