I was talking to Nikki Epperson the other night on the phone. I’m lucky enough to live in the same town as Nikki! Anyway, she was talking about how she bribed her kids with a special treat if they were cooperative in her photoshoot. I laughed because I do the exact same thing.  The promise of ice cream can do a smile wonders!

Well, last year I had to resort to bribery for swimming lessons. My littlest, Raeleigh, did fine the first day. But, the second day she was very uncooperative. I forced myself to sit there listening to her cry the whole time (and you know at that age crying is contagious.) My friends assured me, almost holding me back that it was what the  “water exploration class” was all about. I talked to the teacher afterward. I said, I knew you’d send her to me if you didn’t want to deal with it.  The teacher asked if there was a toy she could bring next time.  So, from lesson three onward the little blue duck came to class. Then she didn’t cry. But, she didn’t pay much attention to the teacher either, she just sat playing with her duck for 45 minutes. I also promised that if she did what the teacher said when it was her turn then we’d go get candy after each lesson.

We are wrapping up swimming lessons this year, and I’m happy to say the little duck stayed home! We have continued the candy tradition. But, now it is just a fun summer treat, and not a bribe.

This page uses a collaboration kit from Recherché by KH Designs and Jennilyn Designs. And a template from JennCK.  Tomorrow I’ll post the opposite side of this two page spread with a little story about friendship!

Recherché by KH Designs finally opened today! And, in case you were planning on some holiday weekend shopping…..all the brand new products are 30% off through July 5th! Cute banner, huh?! I love the new logo!

Today I will share my layout for the kit I named! Bohemian Blush. I really enjoy giving a little input on a new kit! Isn’t it fun?!

My layout is about potty training! The kit matched the PJ’s my daughter is wearing, aren’t they adorable? I’m so sad she will be outgrowing them soon. She was a little late in the second stage of potty training. We finally remembered the Dora playset we’d bought a piece at a time for our oldest. So, we recycled it and used it as incentive again. It worked like a charm. I gave her little pieces, promising the big house when she finally went number two. Her smile in these photos says it all. It was a big day. We even made up a song!
