Now that the easy-going days of summer have now come to an end, I felt like my house needed to be put back in order. I needed to get organized and my kids needed to start being more consistent in helping around the house. With 3 small kids who can make a tornado of a mess within seconds, I used to feel like I should just clean up after them all day long. That way it would be done MY way and they could be kids and play. I don’t think that way anymore. As they are getting older their messes are getting bigger, I am getting tired of constantly picking up after them. And you know what? My kids really like to clean when I asked them to but it doesn’t get done without nagging on my part! I know some of you know what I’m talking about.
So I came up with a chore system for my family that is fun, simple, and motivating!
So far this method has been a HUGE success in our home. My girls can’t wait to see what cute clothes pin is on their jar when they get home from school.
If you try this idea in your home, I would LOVE to hear how it’s going! Good luck.
Pretty and functional! I hope it works! Thanks for linking up to Monday Funday!

I love this idea!! I have 2 teen and preteen boys, and chores are a struggle. Great idea!! Thanks for sharing this on DIY Sunday Showcase! I'm pinning this to our talent board!

Very clever idea. I could use it as a chore system for myself, LOL. Pinned and shared, and stopping by from DIY Sunday Showcase ~ Amy
Brandy this is an adorable idea, yeah the chore chart sticker thing didn't last to long in my house either, we're going to have to try this one!
What a great idea, and so cute !
I am definitely going to try this with my kids. They need some accountability! Amber N
Terrific idea, the chalkboard hearts are adorable 🙂
I love this idea. So cute!!
This is a really good idea! I love that they are able to see visually what they have completed and what they need to complete. Definitely something I will consider doing with my daughter
Great visual reminder and I love the sense of achievement of removing the peg.
I LOVE that hugs & kisses is one of the items for them to do. A little treat in the mix of chores, so cute!
What a good lesson in delegation. I guess that means I'd have to be "on it" enough to reset twice a day.
Love this idea! I'm looking for ways to have my 5 and 4 year old more involved with household chores. Thank you!
Did you have any sort of reward?
