Medicine the easy way

June 22, 2017 by Cayce Leave a Comment

This is how we distribute our morning and evening medicines.

John is brilliant when he came up with this plan.

What I really love about this is if John and I are unable to be home, our older son and his wife, are able to distribute the medicines without us having to worry.

Each spot is labeled with the child’s name and we can quickly distribute what is needed or grab it and go.

I love this medicine system. It really works for our family’s needs.

You can buy the containers from amazon. Click on this link: containers

We keep these in a locked cupboard stored upright (like a book). They stay closed and the medicine stays in the correct spot. We have had a few emergency’s where these have come in very handy.

How do you organize your life?

Crazy Monday

May 18, 2015 by Cayce 1 Comment

With only 9 days of school left, life is getting hectic. We have girl’s camp, a Michigan Trip, scout camps, a big court date then school will start all over again.

This upcoming year we will have a junior, 3 sophomores, 1 freshman, 3 8th graders, 2 6th graders, 1 5th, 1 4th, 1 kindergarten and 2 preschoolers with 2 at home. I am a little worried about schedules and keeping everything simple.

How do you keep your life organized? Do you have tips or tricks to share? I have tried many systems but have never really found one thing to work for me yet. My phone calendar is my most reliable. If I put it in my phone I don’t forget. I am pretty visual though. I love having a wall calendar but at the same time, I tend to get overwhelmed when I look at all of our “appointments”.

Sometimes, I feel like I have to schedule in a bathroom break.

what do you do to keep your sanity? How do you manage stress?

On a positive note: we have managed to potty train 3 of our kiddos over the last few weeks. Day and Night! That’s right folks, only 1 in diapers!! Our 7 month old just won’t potty train. Stubborn boy! 😉

So, what do you do to manage your life? Have you found a system that works?

let me know….

AdriAnne’s Take

April 9, 2015 by Cayce Leave a Comment

I was burning out I had no time for myself, my scriptures felt dusty, my prayers began to be short and repetitive, I couldn’t feel the spirit. I felt like I hit rock bottom. I started comparing my weaknesses to other mother’s strengths. Looking back I wouldn’t trade all that pain and suffering. Heavenly father had been molding me to become who he needed me to be. When I start to doubt and slip I always refer to a certain book that had helped me tremendously it’s called “Better than you think you are “ by Ardeth g Kapp.  I have learned and grew so much and I’m curious to see what heavenly father has in store for me in the future. I still want to continue to foster and have children of my own. I had to learn to trust my heavenly father and his plan for me. I had to walk by faith every day even though my anxiety would creep up and remember to praise him when I got through my day! I had to heed and lean on the promptings of his spirit to guide me.  All in all I knew that god has a plan for me and everyone! I learned on a spiritual level about the atonement and the plan of salvation.  Even on hard days when I begin to doubt myself and put the natural man in my way, heavenly father somehow reminds me of why I do what I do and magnifies my ability far more than I ever thought I could do on my own! Even though I’m not perfect in others eyes because I’m not crafty (I rather have someone make it for me) I just don’t cook a 4 course meal (mac and cheese and turkey hotdogs is what they love or the typical local meal rice and chicken katsu) or my kids get into trouble (that’s okay we all make mistakes we weren’t promised perfection in this life) which is really hard for me is letting go the judgments others make of my parenting. I know heavenly father is pleased with me regardless of the physical things because spiritually he sees my intentions and he knows and loves me for who I am he put me here, this is my purpose to mother his children. I just want to thank you for sharing your life story you have strengthened, inspired, and empowered me to keep doing what I do and to trust heavenly fathers plan. I wish you nothing but the best god bless you and your Ohana (family.)haia ohana

Chanda’s Take

I loved it (thilltribe blog) because I have a lot of the same feelings that you describe. My husband and I have one biological child who is almost 11 and our foster son who is 2. We are trying to figure out if we should foster again or just try to adopt. But it was wonderful to learn about your family and know there are such awesome people out there. And it’s good that you show that every day isn’t perfect and the reality of having that many kids. That makes me feel good to know because my house isn’t always clean and my kids aren’t always well behaved. Thank you for sharing your story! I am sure there are many others out there, like myself who are inspired by your story!

Sincerely,
Chanda
