I hope everyone had a great first meeting!!! It was so fun to see everyone. I am looking forward to taking the PLUNGE together.
As some of you saw on FB and heard today, I was looking into chore charts.
I found some great ideas on Pinterest.
Here are some with their links:
I really liked the dry erase concept because I will not keep up with it if I have to print a new page out each week. And I also liked having a week at a time...less work for me!! Just being honest.
Here is what I came up with for the girls.
I used a 8x10 frame. (50% off this week at HL). It was cheaper than 12x12 scrapbook frame.
I made a table for each kiddo in WORD. (I stayed up way to late last night getting it like I liked)
I cut them out and glued them to the 8 1/2x11 paper that I trimmed to fit the frame.
I am going to attach the dry erase marker to each frame with a ribbon.
I plan to hang them up in our kitchen with 3M strips. Of course I have not told my man or the kiddos about them yet. We first need to figure out if/how they will get allowance. I got the itch a few days ago about chores and couldn't let it go.
Oh, most of my time last night was downloading free fonts and deciding which one I liked..hehe!!!!
Every family will have different ideas for chores. I have certain expectations that are habits now that the oldest does not see as a chore. So think about your own family and see if any of these ideas spark a fire.
