Title: Professional SAHM or SAHD
Key Accomplishments: Provide senior leadership in the collaborative and coordinated logistics; public relations; activities; security; medical treatment; meal preparation; facility improvements, upgrades, and maintenance; budget development and administration; scheduling; goal-setting; daily instruction, and other varied functions as the need arises for the husband or wife and children I am happily responsible for.
Stay-At-Home-Moms & Stay-At-Home-Dads (SAHMs & SAHDs) have no gaps in their work experience…
I often find myself wondering how I can help my children appreciate what they have and how we can instill a sense of gratitude in them. For children who have all of their basic needs met, this can be a real challenge. Sure, they say thank you; but how do we help them truly be thankful?
Someone recently wrote about five ways to encourage gratitude.
The first way, “Share something happy,” is one of my personal favorites: “My daughter and I have a tradition we borrowed from a sweet picture book called Tell Me Something Happy Before I Go To Sleep, and each night as we're snuggling under the covers we take turns sharing good things about our day and good things we're looking forward to in the future. It's a great way to end the night.”
Such a simple and easy thing to do and it helps everyone go to sleep with smiles on their faces.

Warmest wishes for a happy, safe, and healthy Thanksgiving!
