My 7 year old. Bless him. For some reason, my darling youngest son decided that his "Fun with Money" class today was going to be far from fun. So, he thought he could just decide not to go. Yeeeeaaah, I don't think so.
I say it's time to go. He remains seated. Not budging. Plenty of fussing happening, but no walking. Little does he know that momma's not playing games. I've told him before that I don't count. You know, some parents will say, "If you don't...by the time I count to..." Nuh-uh. Not this momma. I'm still guilty of repeating myself sometimes (I'm a work in progress) but I refuse to count. He should also know by now that I know which buttons to push to get his attention. In an unusually calm voice I say, "Ok. No media for the rest of the day." Now he's wailing and causing a scene. "Oh, I see. You'd rather have no media for two days." "No, no, no! Mommy, I'm sorry. I'm sorry! Do you still love me?" I reassure him and wonder if this is a sincere question or if he's just trying to make me feel guilty...or hoping this question will relieve him of his consequence.

Tidy-Up Tip Tuesday 5/10
I had hoped to get this out earlier this morning but today has been crazy with a sick child at home.
Anyway, I definitely want to keep this a weekly routine and possibly something you'll look forward to reading so here's your tip for the week. You can use white distilled vinegar as a fabric softener! I've been doing this for years and have loved the results! It has so many benefits besides just it's mere cost. It will keep your washer clean and reduces the amount of lint in your dryer which as a result can prolong the life of both appliances.
All you do is add the vinegar to your liquid fabric softener compartment in your washing machine. If you don't have one, add it during your final rinse or try pouring it into a Downy ball. A half-cup is plenty, even less for smaller loads. It's that easy!
When I first heard this tip, I was very skeptical and concerned that all of my clothes would come out of the
