TammyB Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I am excited! Tomorrow is January 1, my first official day! I have been making good progress for the last couple of weeks (minus the time I was out of town for the holidays), but there is just something about January 1 and accountability for set tasks that is motivating. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homemommy83 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I love the fly lady​ system. I would love to get my children doing their own system for their own chores/ rooms/ laundry. They all help and my older children do their own laundry, but I would like a more fluid system with some variety. I am going to hold my "more spoiled-lol" middles accountable for more visable help around the house. I think the 7/9 yearolds can be clearing the table after meals/ sweeping the floor.

3 ladybugs Posted December 31, 2017 Author Share Posted December 31, 2017 I have my 4 year old doing things in the blessing hour. He wipes door handles and checks that each bathroom has 2 rolls of toilet paper in them. Simple, but works. He just uses a baby wipe to wipe the door handles. My 9 year old dusts during blessing hour, he also checks soap levels in the soap containers. DH and I vacuum and mop respectively. My 9 year old also does the swish and swipe everyday alternating between the 2 bathrooms. Got back from church! It is FREEZING outside and my street I am pretty sure we could ice skate or ski on. Glad I am not going out again today! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) Today is a slow day. Grocery shopping Sweep house (which is hall, hall bathroom, dining room, kitchen, and living room) Hall bathroom tidy Sweep deck and front porch Take youngest dd shopping for a couple of undershirts to wear under sweatshirts. Dinner is planned already. It's an easy meal so very little prep. Edited December 31, 2017 by Night Elf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
