My chore chart


This is a record for me!! Two posts in two days! I am in shock!

I just had to show you what I am doing to keep track of my points. I was not blessed with a very efficient mind, and I tend to forget things often.

In our home, we have a wall filled with chore charts. For some reason it hadn't occurred to me until now that I might benefit from one too. I found this free template on the internet, plugged all my info in and hung it up right next to the kids. They were so excited to see that I had way more things to do on my chart than they did on theirs. Lets just say that there was less complaining this week from my little kiddies...I had it way tougher that they did. (Not really though.)

I loved having the visual reminder every day.

  1. Marci, is there a way to e mail a copy of that template. I would love one of those. That is so neat.

  2. Alicia, I will email you the file. It has helped me a ton to remember everything that I need to do. I filled it in in photoshop, and I don't really know how to use photoshop, so it is a bit sloppy. I also have the original template too if you want that.

  3. Do you remember where you got it from. I'd like it too! I'm a list girl!

  5. I am such a list person too! I write my chores by my kids too so I don't get "What are you doing mom?" It works great!

  6. Lists are my life, crossing things off them is one of my favorite things to do. Lately I've been making the lists but not crossing anything off, time for that to change.

  7. I like lists too! And it makes me feel as if I've accomplished a lot when I can look at my crossed-off list!
