Assigning household duties prepares our brood for the future and enables them to care for and nurture others. While the kids take care of a few things, moms get to steal a few minutes of relaxation, to boot. As Kathi suggests, why not use this time for a quick facial. <BR/><A HREF="http://www.cherisebopape.authorweblog.com/default.asp?date=2/1/2008&permid=2689" REL="nofollow">Click here</A> for additional ideas.<BR/><BR/>Single Moms’ Care Package, http://www.cherisebopape.authorweblog.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6440197089354350362.post-69543398334211799482008-04-19T12:21:00.000-07:002008-04-19T12:21:00.000-07:00Hey Kathi,It's so much fun visting you.

My children are older than yours. You will never be sorry you have taught your children to be helpful and respectful. You sound like a wonderful mother...we all make mistakes. What a great job you are doing! Your family is beautiful. By the way, I love your choice of music on your blog. Our daughter chose the song "how you look tonight" to dance with her father at her wedding. It always brings back a lovely memory and tear to my eye! Love your violets too...a favorite of mine...Kathy@ Mimi's GardenKathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15437132704054809083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6440197089354350362.post-44404059961240751772008-04-18T08:48:00.000-07:002008-04-18T08:48:00.000-07:00You're so right!

My youngest two are big helpers but the oldest two-umm-not always! I know I should have instilled that in them when they were younger. Bad mom I was!

I do not give allowance (which often brings gasps from many people) because I feel that it is OUR house and we should ALL be responsible for keeping it clean. I was pleased to see you agree with that concept also. I do give allowance for certain, nasty chores like cleaning the garage:)<BR/><BR/>Love the pics and you're right about taking some time for yourself. It is a necessity for all moms!!!<BR/><BR/>Love and HugsHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06108510649005882161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6440197089354350362.post-91918852371338041812008-04-17T08:23:00.000-07:002008-04-17T08:23:00.000-07:00Yes!

But on the flip side, they get to experience all the fun things that being in a family has to offer! Love your face mask!!! Your not kidding when you say it takes longer to look good! I am to the point of taking a long, long time to look "acceptable"!!!

I just adore where you live!!! The barn is awesome! I am very much a farm girl caught in the city!!!! But we do have all the rabbits and the dogs etc.....and it does take work to tend to them all, and I encourage them to help as much as possible along with showing my Son to cook and all that, they will appreciate all they have learned as they get older. We are both very fortunate. I really need to do a facial myself! <BR/>And I just love the songs on your blog! They make me feel great!<BR/><BR/>love ya,<BR/>KellyKellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10293710222275736847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6440197089354350362.post-51654927356100293842008-04-15T15:07:00.000-07:002008-04-15T15:07:00.000-07:00Kathi this post is awesome, thank you for sharing ...Kathi this post is awesome, thank you for sharing it!
