I’m happy this year our annual Holiday Gift Guide will be a little different. These changes came because we wanted to do some good. We were very selective with the items we added to our gift guide. The toys we accepted will be going to some very special and well deserving children. Children from our local Military Family support group. These children, as well as my own, have spent Christmases without a Parent due to being Deployed during the Holidays. Needless to say, we set the bar extremely high with what we wanted to recommend and gift to these children. I was besides myself when Jakks Pacific toys offered to send us items for The Perfect Holiday Gift Ideas for Every Disney Princess.

Cute and Functional Frozen Chore Charts

by Lily @militaryfamof8 2 Comments

I hope that you enjoy our Anna and Elsa's Cute and Functional Frozen Chore Charts. These chore charts are such a cute way to help kids want to mark off the tasks they complete! Laminate them or print them out as many times as you wish, the choice is yours!

Cute and Functional Frozen Chore Charts

 

As a Mom of 6 kids I have tried everything under the sun when it comes to chores. Chore charts work. It’s that simple. Whatever reward was attached to the completion of the week was not as important. It was the satisfaction and happiness when they saw the chart completed. I have also bought the biggest and fanciest charts. I have made my own from printer paper or poster boards. Again, it was always about the end result. Having adorable and fun chore charts are pleasing to the eye of course, so any chance I got to use designs and characters was always a bonus! Here are some Cute and Functional Frozen Chore Charts we have created for you, I hope they help you as much as they helped me!

Ever since my children were babies, we have always been told that they look like they are of Samoan descent.  As a result, our oldest Daughter has been in love with Hawaiian and Polynesian dance since she was 4 years old.  She looked and felt like she belonged, which wasn’t always the case where we lived.

Raising girls can be tough!  You want them to grow up to be respectable young ladies with good manners and etiquette. You also want them to be strong leaders and not be afraid to stand up for what’s right. So, you can imagine how excited my daughters and I were to have the opportunity to host an Elena of Avalor Royal Debut’s Viewing Party.  On Friday, July 22nd Disney Channel premiered this awesome series starring their first Latina Princess ever, and we were watching!Elena of Avalor Royal Debut's Viewing Party [Read more…]

Looking for Something Specific?

Hi!
Welcome to our little world!
My name is Lily, I am a Mommy to 6 kids; and wife to a US Navy Sailor of 15 years. We are a typical Family trying to live the American dream, and though my son’s Autism and my Husband’s PTSD and TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) sometimes try to dampen our mood; we try our hardest to push through it and keep on movin’!

I absolutely LOVE blogging, sharing our life, and our adventures; whether good or not so good.

Our Family went through what WE hope is the worst week ever a year and a half ago, and tragedies continued to hit our Family for a while.
In 4 days, our car was totaled, our house broken into, and our house caught on fire. We are literally having to start over from scratch.

The worst week ever in our family- Trajedy comes in drones!
