Scripture Art Review- May 30, 2014
Raising my little threenager means we need some direction and organization when working to get her to do the three-year-old version of “chores.” It means we sometimes lose focus. It means we get frustrated and need inspiration.
So, it was perfect timing when Katie and Kelly reached out to me about their mom-owned, mom-operated company. I really want to use my blog to continue to support mom-owned businesses, and wow! This one was one I really wanted to learn more about. Kelly started Scripture Art, Savannah Grey and Appealing Prints, all part of the Mary Square brand. Her story is amazing!
Kelly started the company after she battled postpartum depression after the birth of her third child. She would tape bible verses and inspirational quotes written on index cards around her house to get her through the darkest times. I can relate.
It helped her so much that she decided to make them removable decals to stick anywhere. You know, like these that she sent me:
Cute right? It doesn’t stop there. Scripture Art and Appealing Prints has bible verses or inspirational quotes on decals in packs called Promise Packs. They have cute phone cases, totes, personalized gifts and tons of stuff for kids. Check out the personalized lunch totes and water bottles. For some reason I have to have my kids’ names on everything. Seriously. I have a problem.
Another great thing for kids? Chore Charts!
This is Charlotte “filling out” her chore chart. We usually have to go behind her to properly fill it out. I was worried a chore chart would be above a three-year-old’s head. No. It’s not. You can make this appropriate for kids as young as Charlotte or for older, elementary aged children too. It has decals with removable options like cleaning up toys and getting dressed. Each week we use this chart to motivate Charlotte to learn to do things. We have used a reward system as well, like occasionally she’ll get something from the dollar bin at Target if she did well that week. I don’t think it’s realistic to be super-stringent about filling out the whole chart every week and there is not always a reward. Some chores you just do because you are part of the family. The chart has been a great tool for introducing chores to Charlotte.
