Chore Chart for Kids

Found this while searching through stuff online. Its a free online chore chart for kiddo's. Teaches them the value of money.


Just click on the picture over there -------------------->  
And you can download it etc.

Which got me to thinking. My mom used to use the "star" system with us (me and my brother) for our chores. Each star we got added up to one big prize we got each week. If we got so many stars over a period of time it meant that we would go out for pizza or something. Not that I can recall ever getting many of those.... I didnt like to clean.

But it seems to me that this is a good thing. Kids should do chores. And should be rewarded for things they do when they do a good job. A lot of people say its their job and they should do it and thats that. But I think kids deserve to earn something when they do a good job at taking out the trash, doing the dishes, making sure Fido has enough food.

I kinda like this one here. I think I am going to use it for myself! 

Free Carseat Canopy- w/ code- pay shipping

I figured I would pass this along as well- im not sure how much shipping is but you can apparently use the code to get it for free and just pay shipping. And it can be used more than once you just have to open in a new browser.

Im tempted to try it to get one for my sister in law....

Planning a Disney Vacation???

I adore Disney. I have been over 24 times in my lifetime :) And this is by far the best way to get some basic information for free to have to watch.

I love getting the new ones to see what they have updated. It gets me so excited to go again!!!

Thankful Jar

As I was looking at all the New Years posts, resolutions, ideas etc- one stood out. A Thankful Jar or Blessing Jar.

Concept is you write something each day you are thankful for, blessed with etc. And then at the end of the year go back and read all you have put in the jar.

I think this is a wonderful idea. I know I personally ask for so much, and do not take the time to just be thankful for the things that I have been given. So, here's my thankful jar for 2014. Starting today. I will put one thing on a piece of paper each day, and in the jar. It might just be that I got up and got a load of laundry done, or it might be something as big as paid off a credit card. But each day I will thank God for something he's allowed me to do.

Here's My Jar! First blessing already in ;)
