10. Me thinks Thought for the week
"We should never permit ourselves to do
anything that we are not willing to see our children do. We should set
them an example that we wish them to imitate. Do we realize this? How
often we see parents demand obedience, good behavior, kind words,
pleasant looks, a sweet voice and a bright eye from a child or children
when they themselves are full of bitterness and scolding! How
inconsistent and unreasonable this is!"
-Brigham Young
I wonder what little things we would change about our own behavior if we thought about it this way?

Yep love back to school too!! :)
Let's make that sign. I'd love one for my bedroom too.
My favorite tradition for back to school?.....the Father's blessings, cause I get one too. The Lord knows I need one too! ; )
P.S. I am SO with you on hair ruts. I've been going back and forth like a yo yo for weeks now. To cut or not to cut. Ugh. Hate being so indecisive. I like your hair no matter how you wear it.
Happy Fall! {Seems to funny to say that. It's hotter than blazes here.}
Yeah for school almost starting!! So I am bound and determined to grow my hair out, much to Rustins delight. I see people with long hair and it looks fun. Then again I will probably have to learn how to do my hair. I just am in that longer but still short hair length and its annoying. Here's to hoping my comment shows up!!
Oh since we are just entering the school years we have yet to have traditions. But because I am all about that there will be some for sure!!
Laughing at the hair rut because I bit the bullet last week and cut off almost 6". It took me years to grow it out and so much patience (which I sorely lack to begin with) but I LOVE it! I'm so glad I had the courage to go through with getting a cut that I'd wanted for months.
I get to start a tradition with C this year that my brother and I both had growing up. We only got Lunchables once per year, and that was the first day of school, so I'm looking forward to doing that with C next week when he starts grade 1.
don't cut your lovely hair. let it grow even more lovely....if that's even possible ;)
