Make them wait while you have your time together talking.<\/li>\n<li>Flirt with your husband<\/li>\n<li>Tell your children, you love your husband <em>the most<\/em>. You love them bunches, but if you had to choose, you&#8217;d choose him.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Encourage your husband in his parenting-ways. Praise him in front of the children.<\/li>\n<li>Kids only whine if you&#8217;re willing to listen to it.<\/li>\n<li>Give your attention to your husband 1st, the kids 2nd. Make them wait.<\/li>\n<li>Hang a calendar by the nursery door and write one new change your baby makes each day for a year.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>olive oil on a pregnant belly is better and cheaper than all the expensive cremes on the market. 1000s of years old.<\/li>\n<li>Pray for your child to have a wise heart, it&#8217;s worth more than good grades.<\/li>\n<li>Try to remember: every mess and every spill is just some spot that may not have been cleaned today \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n<li>Children will copy your fears, attitudes, words, actions.<\/li>\n<li>If you swim underwater with your children, they will swim underwater also.<\/li>\n<li>Only use plastic trashcans in the bathrooms. Use old grocery bags for the trash and fast removal, as these can double as a throw up bin for a sick child.<\/li>\n<li>As you cook, put things away after using them. Less clean up.<\/li>\n<li>Clean <em>a part<\/em> of a different bathroom every day. Vacuum once a week: upstairs one week\/ downstairs next. Sweep or <i>dry mop<\/i>\u00a0daily.<\/li>\n<li>Kids can help with dusting by putting socks on their hands.<\/li>\n<li>Designate some toys for different floors or just for their room. Less is more. Put some up and rotate them out.<\/li>\n<li>Cut the children&#8217;s hair yourself. Watch videos about cutting and trimming, it will save a fortune! Invest in hair scissors and an electric shaving kit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>ForGlorySake!<\/strong> <em>-Anna<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"788\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/forglorysake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/IMG_4409-1.jpg?resize=640%2C788&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4984\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last year I wrote a little piece called Mom Morsels- part 1, I promised a follow up.
