Hey loves. How was your weekend? We had a great weekend as a family filled with movie night, game night, and some one on one time with Ella that was much needed and Brian and I checked out the home and garden show without kids.
It's the second Monday of the month which means it's time for Not Just A Mom link up with these amazing ladies: Dara, Jen, Joanna, Lauren, and Sarah.

As a mom of 3, (ages 11, 7 and 3) we have to have rules. Without rules I feel like things get messier, more hectic, so loud, etc. I try to have a more peaceful but still fun house. House rules also help to give expectations for what is expected of my kids.
disclaimer: There is a time and place for rules, and sometimes rules need to be broken or switched up.
Here are the Gilbert house rules (in no particular order)
- Clothes go in the laundry basket
- Put dirty dishes in the sink
- No TV before school
- No tablet on school nights
- Use manners
- Share
- Be respectful to each other, your things, and others things.
- No yelling
- No hitting. kicking, name calling
- Always tell the truth
I hope to see you back here next month on Monday March 13 with a Day in the Life Weekend Edition!!!!
Sounds like some smart rules!
ReplyDeleteAwesome rules- thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWe sure did; though once we began homeschooling I was able to let up on many of the tablet/ screen rules and we didn't really have school nights and weekend nights as they were all just nights.
ReplyDeletethat would be so much easier.
DeleteManners and always tell the truth would be two of our big ones for sure.
ReplyDeleteyes and they seem like they can be the hardest one for little kids too
DeleteNo TV before school is a good one...my kids get too easily distracted, so I tell them the same thing!
ReplyDeletethat is our biggest argument with my middle child he is so distracted
DeleteGreat house rules. Respect, manners and telling the truth are super important 😊
ReplyDeleteRuth@playworkeatrepeat
yes so important
DeleteIt sounds like you had a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteRules do help keeping a home run smoothly. These are all really sensible one's that we go by too, mostly. x
rules are always easier said than done
DeleteGood basic rules to keep everything running smoothly! I think you'll find that you don't need to spell things out in detail as much as kids get older and have learned to do those basics automatically.
