All 3 of my kids love to help me with chores. It’s funny they love to help me cook, clean the bathrooms and kitchen, but they hate cleaning their toys.

I snapped a pic of my little man helping me clean the toilet, it’s so cute.

She is upset that she hasn’t had a turn cleaning yet.

From Site:  For more than sixty years, Elmer’s Products, Inc., has been providing creative adhesive solutions that support project success and turn ideas into reality. By continuing to develop innovative new products, Elmer’s has become the trusted brand when it comes to fueling creativity and providing outstanding product performance in the classroom, at home, in the workshop and at the craft table.

****There are so many different types of Elmers glue it’s unbeleivable. Elmers is great for back to school, because its a trusting brand and you can find glue for any project.  My daughter will be starting school this year and needs 10 gluesticks, and a big bottle of glue. I thought that was crazy, but kindergarten is a lot of cut and paste.   The newest glue is the disappearing purple glue stick, goes on purple but dries clear, my kids like it a lot and the glitter glue too, my house has been a big art studio.

With school starting here are some tips for packing your kids lunch

1.   Consider packing foods that are nonperishable and won’t require refrigeration.
2. If you do pack perishable foods such as luncheon meats or prepackaged cheese & crackers, include a frozen gel pack or a frozen juice carton with the food in an insulated lunch bag or box.
3.    Preparing lunches the night before and storing it in the refrigerator until you pack your child’s lunchbox in the morning can help keep food cold longer the next day.
4. Don’t reuse packaging materials such as paper or plastic bags, aluminum foil, etc. as they can contaminate other foods and cause foodborne illness. Have your child discard all used food packaging and paper bags after lunch.
5. Don’t overpack to much food, just what your child will eat.
6. make sure your child washes hands before lunch and snack time for at least 2o seconds.

Here are my top 5 lessons I think every kid should learn.

1. Respect-every child should learn respect or else you will have a lot of problems in the future.
2. You should be thankful for what you have- my kids are always oh mommy i want that on every toy commercial. It’s important to teach kids that toys and clothes aren’t everything, be thankful for what you have.
3. Don’t talk to strangers-unfortunately my kids talk to everyone, they are not shy at all. I think it’s important for kids to learn that not everyone is friendly and to only talk to those you know.
4. look before you cross the street-there are crazy drivers out there, and what i’ve learned living in NY is that you are not even safe crossing in a crosswalk. it’s important for kids to know that they should always look both ways no matter what.
5. Come to me with anything-My kids are still young, but I want them to know that no matter what it is, they can always come to me.  I’d prefer to know what is going on and try to help them no matter how bad the situation is, their parents will always love them.
