"In our search to obtain relief from the stresses of life, may we earnestly seek ways to simplify our lives. May we comply with the inspired counsel and direction the Lord has given us in the great plan of happiness. May we be worthy to have the companionship of the Holy Ghost and follow the guidance of the Spirit as we navigate this mortal journey. May we prepare ourselves to accomplish the ultimate purpose of this mortal test- to return and live with our Heavenly Father."

Chore Chart
I am looking for a good (and cute) chore chart to use with Carly....any suggestions on where to find one?
i have seen some that people have made...they take pictures of all the things the child needs to do like...brush teeth, make bed, pick up toys..etc..and them they put a sticker by each one every day that the child remembers to do and when its full they have some kind of reward..my friend jenna made one for her little boy and he loves it cause he just has to look at the picture and he know what he has to do since he can read yet. thats what im going to do for kaylin when ever i get a few minutes to my self!
whatever you do, just be prepared to change it up every so often. I've had to do that with my kids because they will get bored of one thing and then I have to revamp and try something new. The picture chart would work really well for Carly and Sam.

We use a magnetic one for Paige from Melissa and Doug. I think you can find them on amazon, they call it a responsibility chart.
