A few years ago I made a video saying I was going to clean my daughter’s room and I got some major hate comments! People told me I was ruining her, that I was raising an entitled brat, that she will not know how to function in the real world. I’ve cleaned my daughters room countless times since then, as has she, but if I can model a lesson in love for her…well she can be responsible for her room another day. #cleaningmydaughtersroom #cleaning #lessoninlove #responsibility #modelingbehavior

... Read moreCleaning my daughter's room has always been more than just tidying up; for me, it's an opportunity to teach love and patience. Many parents struggle with whether they should let their children handle chores independently or step in occasionally. From my experience, actively participating in cleaning together creates a special bond and models caring behavior that children can absorb better than pure instructions. Over the years, I noticed how my daughter began to understand the effort behind maintaining a clean space and gradually took more responsibility herself. This process isn’t about creating a perfectly organized room all the time but about nurturing respect for shared spaces and encouraging cooperation. Also, this shared activity helped us communicate openly—she could express what she found challenging, and I could guide her gently. Instead of labeling her as entitled or incapable, choosing love-based care helps develop her sense of security and confidence. Many parents fear that doing too much might spoil their kids, but I believe that moments like these show that responsibility can be taught with kindness. Sometimes life gets busy, and cleaning together teaches time management and prioritizing tasks, which are invaluable life skills. Ultimately, blending love with responsibility creates not only a cleaner room but also stronger relationships and meaningful lessons that last beyond childhood.

I made these a few months ago as something to keep myself busy before selling some to a few people that liked them. The Frozen characters were a request from my dads coworker. I’m gonna make more when I get home and after my classes. #hobbies #perlerbeadart #idklol

I had meat for the first time in YEARS this week
If you had asked me a few years ago, if I would ever eat meat again, I would’ve said absolutely not. It grossed me out so much and still does honestly, but for my health I do feel like I need to incorporate a small bit of animal products into my diet. Has anyone else had a similar journey? What

Throwback to a few years ago 😅
I was looking through my Instagram and found this photo. It was taken on a 4th of July a few years ago at my mom's house. These are my sister's dogs. I just love her facial expression! It looks as though she's reacting to the fireworks outside the window. #lemon8diarychallenge
