wash their feet

I'm preparing to publish my first book. My testimony in Allegory form. The Gown and Allegory by Debra Henderson. It is a story of young girl who became a queen in spite of her struggles. And how her daughter, Princess Cossette inspires her to go on a quest.
I am at home mother of 3 children and they have all inspired me to be a better parent. This blog is to share some of the things that have made this difficult, tiring and sometimes impossible job more fun and a blessing.

Jesus told me to wash their feet.

When the kids were little and I wanted to do a little toe nail trimming or get them take a bath, I came up with the idea to declare “Spa treatment” They would jump right in to a nice warm baffy, suds up and let me trim their toe nails, wash and style their hair and do it with great joy and giggles. They came out feeling special and loved. I came off looking like a great mom. I got what I wanted “clean kids” without having to nag and threaten. And all it took was a little imagination, a few choice words and some creative use of drug store bought items.

bubble bath, bath oil, bath fizzer, “mermaid water”
Fun shampoo
fun soap
body scrub, mask or sea salt for foot spa
fun lotion
finish with a message, drawing on the back and a blessing
