1. Being a mom is the best thing I've EVER done.

2. God first, Me second, Family third. ( Because if I don't love and take care of myself, I can't 100% take care of  them.)

3. When I say NO I mean it, but I allow for negotiation on "light matters."

4. There are consequences for bad behavior. Pushover mom's are one of my biggest pet peeves.

5. My kids think I'm cool.

6. There friends think I'm cool,and confide in me regularly.

7. I love to laugh and do fun things with them.

8. Lying is not tolerated. My children know that can come to me with the truth about anything and it will be handled with an open mind.

10. Delegate, delegate, delegate to lighten your loads mom. My kids have chores to teach them life lessons and responsibility. (They DO get paid)

11. Praise, appreciation, love and respect.....they want and need it to. When you give these freely, you get an abundance in return.
