What a great project we made over the weekend - a welcome sign for our front porch with Hailey, Brennan & Brooke's input to describe just what we were welcoming people to! :)
Welcome to our Home. We're Loud, Crazy, Unique, Snuggly, Playful, Friendly, Real & We Believe in Each Other!
We had a sign that needed some repurposing love and Pinterest inspired idea that we totally made our own! We sat around the table and Brennan, Hailey & Brooke came up with the words that describe our family then voted on which would make the sign. We also came up with: accident-prone, kind, messy, energetic, fun, loving, happy and curious. It was so interesting to learn how the kids would describe our family!
Lately, we've had a good share of good times and rough times; I keep reminding myself that's part of parenting and raising kids to be adults with sound values and good adjectives that describe them too, right?! My New Year's resolution was to get to know each of the kids better and deeper, focus on building the firm foundation. It hasn't all been perfect, but we've intentionally worked through emotions, attitudes, tiredness, to try to create relationships and a home of feeling safe, understood and supported. This project gave me encouragement that we're on the right track! We've had it on the porch for a few days and the kids have said something or smiled about it when they come in from school. It turned out well, but the process of making it was awesome!
