Tips and Opinions

So this is where I am going to paste links of my posts about tips I have used or heard that I like and opinions I have.

And here's my list of ten tips that work for me as a mother: (when I remember to employ them)

1. Laugh with your kids for at least ten minutes every day.
2. Make habits that work (like I fold my washing everyday when my kids are in the bath).
3. Stop beating yourself up, and remember you can only do your best.
4. Remember your kids are going to remember how awesome you were, not how pristine the house they lived in was.
5. Forget bad days before they begin.
6. Tell your kids about the things you do/did wrong (its nice for them to hear its ok to be human).
7. Remember that you are human. And forgive yourself for that.
8. Write your shopping list for tomorrow before you go to bed (to do list). That way you sleep on it.
9. For every time you tell you kids off, find 3 things nice to say about them or to them within 5 minutes. (after you have calmed down)
10. Strive for perfection, but forgive yourself mistakes. (that's nicked from Will Smith, who icked it from someone else that I can't remember)

You may have noted that I tell myself at least 3 times that I will make mistakes, and that that's ok, and to fogive myself and blahdeblah :-D

So on with the links:
