Inspirations from Daily Life – July 2012

Okay, the month is winding down, but there’s just enough time to share some of the beautiful and inspiring things I’ve seen as we go about our daily routines.

“Do well, but do some good.”

To start, I love this phrase I saw on a utility pole today.  It’s a variation on Minor Myers, Jr.’s quote: “Go into the world and do well. But more importantly, go into the world and do good.”  This is exactly the message I want to teach my boys about how to conduct themselves in life.  I plan to put a short version framed in a cute way somewhere in their room.

"Do well, but do some good."

“Do well, but do some good.” The perfect message for how to live life.

 

Potty Training/ Diapering Trick

Okay, so it’s hard to believe that I am well into toddlerhood with our third child, and I just learned this trick from a friend.  To keep the tails of a onesie from getting dirty during a diaper change or potty training, snap them up over your baby’s shoulder!  Now, if only the rest of potty training were so easy!
