My Bag of Tricks: Room Time

Image
How do I keep my sanity? How do I get dinner fixed? What are some tried and true methods I have learned over the past few years of parenting? In my bag of tricks is ROOM TIME !! Almost every day around 5:00 pm, I send my boys to their rooms for some alone time. I leave them with special toys they haven't seen in awhile or a box set aside for special times like this. Here are few examples of our Room Time boxes. (Nothing great, but when YOU make the items in the boxes special, your kids will think they are special, too!) Box 1: Coloring books and crayons Box 2: Stationary, markers, stickers, etc. Box 3: My old coupon box with expired coupons, sticky notes, and a bag of colored pens and highlighters for writing a "grocery list."

The true Savior who conquered DEATH is who we should be teaching our sons about. I want my boys to be disciples of THAT Jesus. Jesus was not effeminate, He was not "a softy." Yes, He loved and He was compassionate...of course! He was also strong and brave, bold, daring, outspoken, firm, and steadfast. HE was a real man . ----------------------------------------------------------- I also read the Young's opinions and strateg...
