I have to admit I am so bad about getting my kids into a routine. I had them in one for a while, but then daylight savings screwed it all up. Now with Hectic schedules I find myself forgetting certain routines.

Some of my tips for getting my kids to bed is:

Always schedule a time- My kids are in bed at 8, may not fall asleep then but they have to lay in bed.

patience-Yes small kids will get up from time to time, just put them back in bed and walk away.

Reading a good story-reading a story is a great way to bond and let your child know there is nothing to be scared of.

if all else fails-Drive, my kids always fall asleep in the car, and if I can’t get them to go to sleep or if they are overly cranky. I go for a drive.

Leave a light on- a little less scared and will make them more comfortable

So the way it usually works is Dinner, bath, brush teeth, cuddles(reading), bedtime.

What brings me joy in my life

December 1, 2009 - brandy3

Barking Mad is holding a contest and wants to know.

If you’ve read my blog regularly, you know the past year has been full of ups and downs. break ups, make ups, family feuds, financial issues etc. The one thing I can always count on to bring me joy and happiness is my children. McKenzie(4), Alexandra (3), and William(2 on the 7th), are the best things in my life. Even though they stress me out and fight and scream, a little laugh and smile, is all I need. Of course when my hubby is being nice, he brings me joy too. (he is career oriented)
