We used a fish bowl and ours was all year long with activities for school breaks and weekends and then a special one for summer. We did the journals at summer's end. I still have the journals my boys created and I love going back and reading them. It is like watching them grow up all over again. At 19 and 23, my boys still enjoy helping others.<br /><br />I am glad you posted about all these ideas! We did not have this outlet when I was a young mother. Hopefully, it will inspire other mothers to do the same or something similar. The rewards are many.<br /><br />~ TracyMs. Bake-ithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08788863782876226680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7262212386639665207.post-91667988814229967192010-07-15T13:06:40.360-06:002010-07-15T13:06:40.360-06:00What a cute idea!What a cute idea!Sarah Larsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12639228546332412086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7262212386639665207.post-36265698657033985862010-07-15T09:16:31.567-06:002010-07-15T09:16:31.567-06:00VERY important life lessons to be sure! I stress t...VERY important life lessons to be sure! I stress this to my son continually - using each opportunity to reinforce that we're BLESSED and to those whom much is given, much is expected! Pay it forward in service to others and to Him. <br /><br />My son and I were out recently grocery shopping. While my husband was putting the shopping cart back and we were in the car, my son started talking about something that he wanted. Two cars away was a man that we've come to see every week at the same parking lot - with all of his possessions in his car. I discretely pointed this out to my son...delicately trying to explain to him how very fortunate we are to have what we have and how many others are not so lucky. I don't want him to take for granted the many blessings he has and I want him to learn the importance of service to others and a grateful heart.<br /><br />Love this post, Lisa :)<br /><br />Judy@cutest-little-thingsJudy@cutest-little-things.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10642673291427189421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7262212386639665207.post-49702668319187574352010-07-15T09:06:21.148-06:002010-07-15T09:06:21.148-06:00Such a great idea!

Wish I had...What a wonderful idea...the fun bucket! Wish I had thought of that when the guys were young. Your boys are gaining such a healthy perspective that will serve them well into adulthood. I especially love the idea of a journal. This not only gives them a reminder of activities and thoughts from years past, but it teaches them to put thoughts on paper. It will help them all through their lives. Well done!<br />And how very generous for you to share these ideas with others. I am passing your blog info to several young moms I know... They will LOVE getting to know you.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Jane (artfully graced)Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04217873835177215930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7262212386639665207.post-83804323019416994292010-07-15T07:52:49.468-06:002010-07-15T07:52:49.468-06:00I just love this post!
