Kids Flag Page

It's been a long time since I've posted, and we are in the home stretch working on the new house.  Since my last blog post, my mind and body have been very busy to say the least!

After folding laundry tonight, I thought I'd take a few moments to do something fun for me. :) I logged on to check out one of my favorite blogs this evening...mama jenn.  I was excited to read her latest post on a product called Kids Flag Page, and I had to share with my Domestic Engineering readers! 

Quoted directly from the Kids Flag Page web page:
"The Kids Flag Page is a fun way for moms and dads to interact with their kids and truly discover the heart of each child—who God created them to be. When you follow the simple, step-by-step instructions to complete your child’s Flag Page and read the information in the accompanying book, you will:
  • Discover the way God uniquely hardwired your children individually and how to best relate to them.
  • Find the six key things that motivate your child
  • Find out what your children love most about life.
  • Connect to the heart of your child.
  • Learn the do's and don’ts of how to motivate, encourage, discipline and help each child succeed in life.
  • Learn how to raise your kids in the power of God’s grace.
  • Discover how to bring the best out of your strong-willed kids."

The Kids Flag Page is created as a parent/child interactive board game, which helps the parent find out each child's personality type.  As a parent this "game" will give you tools you can use to better interact with your child or children, and parent each child accordingly with grace based parenting.  I definitely could use something like this to help me with parenting my children because they are each incredibly different! 

Check out the links to see the Kids Flag Page with a video explaining the product as well as ordering information.  Also take a look at  mama jenn's review/giveaway on the product :)

Thanks for reading!  Be Blessed! And, I hope to post again after we've moved :)

LOL Quote of the Day and Changes

Tonight during our family dinner conversation my 3-year-old daughter out of the blue and very seriously said, "I don't remember what I was going to talk about."  My husband and I looked at each other, and of course we laughed.  The funny thing is, I have felt this way often lately.  I haven't been able to find time to blog or even focus myself enough to consider blogging...  Thus, the absence of blog posts.  "Why?" you might ask. 

Our family is preparing for a season of changes.  What do these changes look like?  1. New job for my husband, starting Monday.  2. We are smack in the middle of purchasing a "new to us" house closer to the new job.  3. Fixing up the new house once it's purchased.  Yes, we're attempting another fixer upper, but the price was right!   4. The task of packing and moving which comes along with the new house, while still maintaining the current household and homeschooling.  5. Finish fixing up the old house, and (with lots of prayer) sell it! 

Needless to say, the next several months will be without a doubt a whirlwind of activity or a tornado, I am not sure which.  To leave things on a positive note, as far as we know these changes are good, and once we are settled should make life easier for our family in the future!  

The New House

Over the next several months, as long as I can somehow find the time and the focus I shall blog when possible.  Otherwise, I will see you all on the other side from my different new house!  Be Blessed!
