November is the Month to be Grateful !!

 

Let's be Grateful !!     I had my family write out last night what they are grateful for and post it on a Tree.  

It is a great ritual for everyone to do.  It will bring your life into perspective and may bring out happiness into your life.  It is also a great learning tool for kids to teach them Needs and Wants in their life.  When things don't go our way what can we do to keep going on..........    Sit down and take a good look at your life and the things that we have already experienced.  Take those positive memories and let them fill you up again.  I know this is hard, even for adults to do. But doing this exercise with your family may bring great benefits.   Having kids around,  reminds me the things that I can do for myself to just keep going when things get difficult. 

Joy Joy Joy !!

Joy Essential Oil-     I got a great compliment the other day from someone.  They asked me what Perfume I was wearing?   They had stated they had felt their mood and happiness increased thru out the day hanging out with me.  I told them that I didn't have perfume on and that it must of been Joy essential oil I had on.   So this brings me to the Post.  I thought this is a great time to talk about this Great oil.  I inhale this oil every morning while I am doing my morning routine in the Kitchen.  It helps me to get the day started and helps me if I am not feeling my best self.  

I also had my Daughter started using this one too when she gets moody and feels sad.

Fall is Here!!

Take in the Beauty of the Changes of the Season.    Great time to reflect on the last season and thinking about all that is to come with the next one.  Warm sweaters and Hot drinks, Bonfires- friends gathering around- telling spooky stories and good laughs.     This is what I look forward too this season. 

Cinnamon, cranberries, Hot apple cider and apple donuts are some of my Favorites of this Season.

Blessings to Everyone on this Beautiful Season-  

 

 

 

 

 

Kids learning to deal with Life early

I just had this conversation with some friends who's kids just started school about being kind to each other.  How are we to teach and guide our kids thru the ebb and flow of childhood? I am still trying to figure that one out.   The conversations I have had with my kids starting at Kindergarten was a surprise to me.  Talking about how to stick up for yourself when you are being teased or ignored by classmates in school and on the bus.  I thought I would be having these conversations when they would be in middle school  I just wish I could keep my kids in a Magic bubble, but I can't.  

Daily I try to remind them to be kind, helpful and learn something new at school.  Encourage them to try to solve issues themselves first, then go to an adult if they still need help and guidance.  I know some of this stuff about teasing and bullying they go over in school with the kids- but it is not enough.  

One book I read to my kids when they were in Preschool was Have you Filled a Bucket Today !! It is about how you fill other peoples buckets instead of being a bucket dipper.  When you have low self-esteem and don't feel good about yourself- that is how people dip into your bucket to make them selves feel better, instead of doing something kind for someone-you will then fill up your own bucket at the same time.  Here is the Link below to check out.

Some other great books I came across for my Daughter was the American girl books.

These books have great info and helpful ideas for girls on how to handle different situations in their life growing up.    They have been extremely helpful in our house. 

 

 

 

 Wishing all Kids that they Have Courage and Be Kind !! 

Let me know your thoughts and any other helpful books out there for kids- Please share with me !!
