To my daugher Thank you for being a great example to your brother. (getting her face towel to wash up) I appreciate your politeness. Thank you for getting your jacket to wear. I’m proud of you for stopping your tantrum. (@ the park) You’re very helpful. (unloading the contents from her backpack) I love your [...]

After my first full 7 days in this wonderful Psychology Experiment from my friend Terra, I decided to model after her and change the name to Operation Household. The reason? This experiment is playing a big role in changing the dynamics of our household. As I keep this up for the full 3 weeks (21 [...]
To my daughter Your hair is very pretty like that. Thank you for setting the mats. You’re so helpful. You’re very helpful. (for putting the laundry in the machine) To my son You’re so helpful. (for turning off the night light when he woke up) You are great kids. To my hubby You’re fast. (with [...]
Over the weekend, Hubby and I took the kids to Petco to buy more fishies. We had 2 fishes survive after 5 months of starting a new tropical fish aquarium. It’s been a fun hobby with the kids. So we were looking at the fishies, when a store clerk came up to us and asked, [...]
To my son You’re so sweet. To my husband Hello handsome. My hero. To my daughter That’s nice. Observations Today my lack of positive words brought about a change in atmosphere. I tried though.

Day 5. What can I say? We are truly human. I must admit that today was hard. The kids woke up on the wrong side of the bed or something – they were probably testing me to see if these positive changes in Mommy are for real! To my hubby Thank you!!! You’re my hero! [...]
Day 4. Today I don’t know what happened, I couldn’t stop saying nice things, and I scrambled to write down what I could remember. (There were more compliments I gave than I could write down – I was surprised at how they were rolling off my tongue since I’ve struggled a lot with praising people [...]
Day 3. I must admit it’s getting hard to continue to blog about the detailed circumstances surrounding the compliments, and it’s also a challenge to give 5 compliments a day to 1 person. So, I’ll just write down what I said and to whom (with brief references to some circumstances). I’ll also journal my observations [...]
Ok. Day 2. Today I was still feeling a little weak from the residual flu. But I did my best to take care of things around the house. Things were done slow-motion… So by the time I normally make dinner, I was just finishing up washing the afternoon dishes. Hubby called home; he was at [...]
