advice

My sister knew i’d been struggling with this, that, and the other. Her advice:
Some days we thrive… some days we endure happily… some days we just keep all the troops alive and look forward to bedtime. It’s true. They are fed, clothed, safe, and loved. There is more… and we strive for that… but some days… we just stay alive.

Saw this quote on pinterest. This is sooooo perfect for my children. No time for fussing… perfecto advice.

This is my newest bit of advice for my oldest tot. There seems to be a lot of whining and complaining but very little problem solving going on. In order for all of us to make it, I’ve realized I need to teach our children to learn to solve problems on their own. So often they blame others, but so much responsibility lies within them. Get those gears turning.

This one – my personal goal, especially related to Relief Society. I never get enough visits in. I love visiting sisters… but with 5 tots, it’s hard to find time ALONE to go do it. I realized that a phone call, text, or email might be a needed service as well.
