Hey Friday!
I’m ready for you. 🙂
First FAVORITE of the day are these earrings! Aren’t they CUTE?! And perfect for spring and summer! Narci dropped these off as a little “thank you” and I just had to share! Stella and Dot has a ton of new spring items that are screaming at me! If you have any specific questions, Narci can totally help you out with all things Stella and Dot. Just message her directly!

Next up is something I’ve debated all of my mothering days…to give allowance or not to give allowance-that is the question. I snagged these chore charts from Amazon and we’re calling this “Practice Week” in the Slaughter house. I listed things everyone should already be doing but it’s like we’ve forgotten where our shoes belong, where our dirty dishes go, and where we put dirty clothes. So enter these chore charts. Every week I’ll add new chores and eventually those things like “put all your dirty clothes away” will not be something they’re getting rewarded for. The plan is to give allowance for chores completed and if you don’t complete your chores then no I-Pads. We let our kids have their I-Pads on the weekends and the big consequence for now {that will work for all three} is you don’t get to have your I-Pad. I’m also hoping we can make this a bit of a money management lesson as well…the tithing, saving, and money to spend lesson is always easier to live by if you learn it early.

Are you watching The Bachelor? And more importantly-are you reading Sheaffer’s recaps? Sheaffer’s recaps are THE BEST! Colton is down to three girls and it appears like the drama is heating up. You should tune in and check out Sheaffer’s blog on Wednesday for her recap!

I mentioned in my What’s Up Wednesday post that I’d successfully ordered some cute swim suits from both Cupshe and J Crew. I don’t have the guts to post myself in swimsuit pictures but I thought I’d share the ones I really liked…
Fruity One Piece, Stripe One Piece, Floral Two Piece, Navy Two Piece, Gingham Two Piece
I couldn’t get the J Crew pictures to work but those last two listed are CUTE J Crew options.

Another week, another picture of this leopard sweater…at under $19 it’s definitely still a favorite. 🙂 I recommend sizing up one or two sizes.

A sweet reader sent me this earlier this week and YES! It basically sums up my life right now. 🙂 We’ve had a lot of random outings that have included a potty chair in the trunk of my car.

In just one week, the Slaughter Six are setting out for the slopes of Colorado again. We’re looking forward to all the family fun and memories we’ll make.
