Sister from another mother!
Trying to raise boys that see what needs to be done and to do it! They aren't quite old enough to do their own laundry but lunch - the Good Lord gave you arms, legs and a brain. Figure out what you want and make it. Then CLEAN UP after yourself. My goal is to someday have two DILs that say "Thanks for raising someone who will wipe down the counter after he's done in the kitchen!".
