My Job Description:
My first priority is to love and care for my children. I will meet their basic needs of clean clothing, healthy and delicious food, and a comfortable home.
I will provide a wide variety of interesting, open ended, engaging activities. This includes daily art, music and outdoor experiences. I will strive to involve my children in the daily runnings of our home, making an effort to include them in cooking, cleaning and errand running. I will remember that play is the work of childhood, and will not push my children to grow up faster than they should.
I will use daily situations to teach my children about life. I will give them the skills needed to work peacefully with others, as well as the skills to work or play independantly.
I will put my husband and my relationship at top priority, because I know that when we are working well together, everything else falls perfectly into place. I will model to my children what a loving marriage looks like, and show them how they deserve to be treated.
I will do my best to be patient, fair, and kind, but I will also give myself room to fail. I will teach my children that everyone messes up sometimes, even mommy, and that it is okay to appologize and try again.
I will strive to keep a comfortable home in which my children and husband feel at peace, and feel comfortable inviting guests.
I will ask for help when I need it. I will not strive to be all things to all people. I will take time for just me. I will schedule time for me to exercise each day to take care of my body, and I will find time to make these same things available to my husband as well.
Above all, I will strive each day, to show my family how valuable and loved they are.
