I've had another busy week with cleaning and organizing. I came across a poster that I purchased when we first moved into our house that I wanted to frame and hang where I could see it everyday.
It's kind of an"ABC's of kids" and
I LOVE each and every description and love to reflect quite frequently on these characteristics and how I am doing with my children.

Over the years, when I get overwhelmed with the way my kids are acting, or
Ethan doing his "WHOOSH" sounds with his mouth for the 100th time that day or constantly being in "action mode", OR,
