Teach your kids how to sort, separate and put their dirty clothes in the wash now.
Show your children how to treat stains, measure detergent and explain the importance of removing lint from the dryer vent after every cycle.
Don’t turn your son’s sports socks right side out, since you aren’t the one who took them off like that.
Parents should teach their kids how to do their own laundry instead of paying someone to handle the task for them.
There’s nothing I love more than the week after my kids get home from sleep away summer camp. Our kids hang around home reminiscing about their few weeks away in the Missouri humidity while we tend to their bug bites, bumps, and bruises.
One is nursing a painful ingrown toenail; one is peeling profusely from his sunburn while healing a sprained ankle; another has strained and cut up knees from who knows what and one has no idea how he got the open wounds all up his arm.
Proof of time away at summer camp.
If the house goes up in flames, I want my people, my scrapbooks and my sand bottles.
Forget the jewelry, just grab the sand.
The 46 unique bottles grace our master bedroom fireplace mantel and represent travels I’ve made near and far with my family, husband, girlfriends, or by myself. Each and every bottle is full of earthly treasure attached to stories of travel and exploration.
Our homes are a haven where our family story is told through what graces our walls, shelves, and mantels. Everything we choose to display in our house is a reminder of what we deem important.
Our homes are a tangible way to tell the story of who we are and where we’ve been. Look around. This is us.
