Having a Heart Attack

Back during our camp days each week we would write Character Quality Certificates (or CQs) for each camper. Their purpose was to individually affirm and encourage each camper in my cabin. I had never thought about writing a CQ for my child until I saw this.


This has been a great way to build LilE's character. We have been staying away from physical attributes we love in her and focusing on qualities that are pleasing to the Lord. It has been such a joy to list out for my own child what positive things I see in her character. And it is a simple reminder of what a blessing she is in my life!

I love the heart idea. What a great way to give compliments.

I looked at the Snow Ice Cream recipe you used. It is the same one Mom fixed for us when we were kids. I love it, but didn't fix it with the last snow.

That is such a great idea! Someone even brought up in our M2M group last week that you did this and we all thought it was an awesome way to encourage our kids!!!
