Simple rules of the house, free printable

I found this fantastic free printable from

imom.com

It is fantastic!

I think they are sweet & simple rules for any house.

I think I need to print one out & hang one in every room & on every door!

Superwoman, Some days I need to remind myself that I am not

Do you sometimes try to be a superwoman, supermum, a superwife….just try to be everything to everyone? Why is it that we think that is ok?

I think that I need to use the word NO a little more often.

I need to say, “I forgot.” & not apologise.

I need to say, “No, I haven’t.” and be ok with that.

I need to admit that I sometimes screw up & that is ok.

I need to know that once in a while, dinner will taste like crap or not even be edible, & that is ok because no one else can cook in this house & they should be happy that there is 2 minute noodles in the cupboard.

I need to say that is ok if the kids have tuckshop because I can’t be bothered making something from scratch, I am sure they will survive.

I need to say, “No, I am too busy.”

I need it to not worry me if I have forgotten to ring, send or email. Before the internet was even a major part of my life, it would never have been an issue.

{did you know that the earth was even here before the internet?}

I need to let the little thing slide.

I need to just go with the flow a little more.

I need to put into practice all the things that I let others get away with & never give it a second thought.

Why is it ok for everyone else but not ok for me?

Why is it that we as women hold such high standards for ourselves & yet we let others go with the flow?

A modern woman wish

I have come across something very inspiring.

It comes from kaileenelise.com

I love it!

I think that I will print this, frame it & put it near my kitchen bench where my girls & I talk about everything.

I hope that I can live by these rules & my daughters will too.

I mean, who doesn’t want to spread glitter everywhere you go???

Living sweet & simple.

This has become my new motto for life.

Living

adjective

*having life     *true to life    *still in use   

Sweet

adjective

*pleasing to other senses    *gentle    *kind

Simple

adjective

*not complicated     *easily understood

I believe that we only have one life so why not enjoy every single moment that we have got.

To put it simply….

Why save your most fabulous things for a special occasion, is today not special?

I believe that every day should be celebrated.

It need not cost the earth to enjoy your life.

Light a candle & watch your mood change.

Turn off the TV & put on your favourite music.

Get off the couch & go for a walk.

Stop & admire the beauty of a flower & smell it’s perfect scent.

I believe that all women are beautiful but it is the ones who know their purpose in life that seem to shine more brightly.

If your purpose in life is to be a Mother, then make sure that you are the best Mother you can be by making time to cherish yourself.

The same rules apply for all women, we must cherish ourselves before we can give to anyone else.

"Find inspiration by noticing the infinite beauty in the everyday things all around you. The petals of a flower. The eyelashes of a baby. The rainbow of colours in a sunrise and sunset. The breathing of your four-legged friends. The infinite flavours of each bite of food. Beauty and inspiration are everywhere.' ~Paige Burkes
