So the kids went back to school last month, and it is my first year ever that both kids are in school ALL day. You would think that would give me loads of time on my hands, but my days go by faster now then they ever have. We have all been feeling a little overwhelmed by our new schedule. It's easy to get caught up in all the things that need to be done during the day, that sometimes just acknowledging each other can be forgotten. In the spirit of trying to be kind to each other and take the time to say the positive things we SHOULD be saying, I came up with a great idea.
so here it is:
it's great right? Wait, you can't tell from the pic what it is??? Ok, how about this one?
still no? Ok, I'll lay it out for ya.
it's a kindness jar!!!! what we do is write down anything positive about one another and put it in the jar. the kids love doing it, and it is fun to go thru and read what is written on there. for instance, some of the cute ones:
i wish i could say that it has created complete harmony in my house, but alas as i am typing i've got one daughter yelling and one crying. but you gotta give me an A for effort.
