One Secret to Success for a Working Mom, Expand Your Village (Jack and Jill of America)

Jack and Jill of America member and her daughter Recently, I have become keenly aware that good kids are created by accident. They become good because someone made a concerted effort to pour positive things into them--things like, honor, discipline and respect for others. These qualities are taught through lessons and by observation. For that reason, I have been actively considering how to give my children more examples of people who embody those qualities.  Indeed, raising my children to become good people is my most important job.

Wordless Wednesday: The Elf on the Shelf


This month our elf has been on the shelf, on the bar (guess she got thirsty), and all over the house.  As the story goes, the elf moves every night because she travels to the North Pole. And she does, except that one time she stayed in the same place for two days because she was "meditating".


In any event our elf makes us all behave better. The kids are trying to impress her and we're trying desperately to not let down the kids!



BTW-I preferred the plush elf, which is why we use this one.
