Help Wanted

A wise woman once counseled me in the area of child training and child raising regarding teaching children to learn to work - and well.

Her basic message to me was that I needed to try and work myself out of a job. Teach my children how to do most {all} household jobs and do them properly. I treasure the wisdom of older women and am so thankful for their investment in my life.












As a side note, I have learned that is valuable and fun to teach them as early as possible. Even when my kiddos were 9 or 10 months old they were learning to pick up toys and I would even plop them in the middle of the laundry pile and let them "fold" while we conversed.
I'm so thankful for the fruit that comes from training - and I know the rewards are just starting. So thankful for this cutie who helped to make biscuits with me the other night!
