Simple Parenting Links

There have been a couple of posts I have just LOVED this week.

This post by Amy at Frugal Mama inspired a new level of simple organisation and responsibility for my kids, both for the mornings and at bedtime. We've always had job charts, but they have been ones with tick boxes and I always forget to wipe the whiteboard marker off (by that time it has dried and I have to use cleaner to get it off...) so we stop using them. I love Amy's idea of SIMPLE lists that empower your kids to take control of their mornings, any my kids have been loving them too!



and this post by Dr. Laura Markham has completely changed the way I respond to my tired and cranky kids after school.

Have a great weekend everyone!
