Household Chores!

I don't know about you all but, getting chores done around our house is always a battle.  I decided to get online and see if I could find some chore chart ideas that would be simple, cheap and effective.  There are hundreds of different ideas out there ranging from simple lists to quite elaborate wooden carved family boards!  I wanted something SIMPLE and EASY!  I found this site in my search:  http://shared.confessionsofahomeschooler.com/momstuff/ChoreCards2x3.pdf

This site has MANY different little chore cards that you can use in a pocket chart.  I loved the cards...didn't love the pocket chart.  I found another idea on a different website to use the really small 3M Command Strip hooks.  That way you can just hang the cards up for the person who is to do the chore.  When they are done, they flip them over.  I plan to laminate mine but, you could also print on card-stock.  There are several different self-sealing laminating sheets that you can buy as well!  I'm on a mission!  I'm going to set a goal for myself to get my chore chart up and running by the end of the week!  Then I will post a picture.  

Chores have been a concern of parents for as long as there have been kids! Perhaps this is the solution...or perhaps it is a starting point for a solution!  At any rate, it is totally worth a try!!  Let me know if you try it or if you have any other great ideas that have worked for you!!  I will post any ideas that I get on the blog!
