Find - A Chore Chart You Can Be Proud Of!
With the birth of baby #4 only weeks away and in the heat of the summer, I am finding it harder to get excited about organizing. The weather is just so beautiful!
But as I am typing this, I am realizing that with a baby only weeks away, now is the time we NEED to get geared about organizing again so I don’t get buried alive when he comes! I have also been seriously considering homeschooling my kids (because, you know, why not?!?!) and while looking investigating it a little further came across this great post on the popular blog “Balancing Everything”(formerly Very Mom).
Her idea for divvying out chores and letting your kids have choices was great and appealed to the side of me that is trying to not be so controlling! Not only that, but it is SO chic and adorable!!! I loved her blog entry and while it does provide details on what she did, there are no explicit instructions on how it was done. It looked like a great project though and had the benefit of including/teaching your kids to work - which you all know I am a huge fan of! I can’t wait to get busy on my own chore tickets. - Maja

This is awesome. I think it is so easy to think that kids are too young to help but then when do they start helping? If they are old enough to get the toys out they should be old enough to put them back. Age appropriate jobs is perfect.
I know I have been to slack in this department because the other say I asked my son to put the books back on the shelf and he said- no you do it mommy.
