Chloe & Mama’s Home Made Beef Stew
A staunch believer of teaching them young, I try to let Chloe helped in housework.. cooking and even cutting of corns when i am cooking. It is actually so much fun.. seeing her so enthusiastic in helping. .and doing it right. It need not be a big thing, it can be just anything any mummy wanna do with their kid. It certainly makes her feel really good about herself.. that she helped me.
As you can see .. she is helping me dry up the potatoes and carrots.. and that itself to me.. is awesome. I like having her do stuff with me. Earlier on.. i had to do dishes.. so i let her wash her bottles, just by her scrubbing them with bubbles. She didn’t really washed it.. but you get what i mean eh.
There you go, here’s our pot of home made beef stew in slow cooker .. all ready to eat . .and for lunch the next day. And yes.. i let her put in the onion mix.. and turn on the tap for me.. to boil water.. and let her close the lid and turn on the slow cooker. And she was an awesome helper..! Teach them young. .and you will never have problems.. making them do stuff at home.. that was what my grandmother said.
that’s awesome that chloe loves helping you out. You’re right. Teach them young and they will carry the lessons with them throughout their lives. Great Job, Jan

She’s such a sweetie! But teaching them young is good but it doesn’t mean they’ll want to do it later. I for one used to help my mum when I was young but later got lazy…
