many of you are asking for a break down of my schedule and my house rules (I know the picture does not give it any justice)....

they are pretty basic.

Family House Rules

1. USE KINDNESS. treat others the way you wan to be treated.

2. No BACKTALK. no whining, arguing, complaining, or sassy talk.

3. NO SHOUTING/YELLING/SCREAMS

4. Use HELPFUL HANDS. when things are a struggle or hard- help them out.

5. Use MANNERS please, thank you, your welcome.

6. Be RESPECTFUL of other's things and space.
