In my last post about scheduling you can see that we do our "territories" or "daily chores" a few times a day.Then we have a 1/2 hour for each person to do a weekly chore.They are chores that only need done once a week and we all have a different one for each day.We do monthly chores on Saturdays.
So...........

MONTHLY chores.......
We have 4 sets of chores for 4 weeks.
Organize and wash cabinets
All cobwebs in the entire house and basement mopped
Ceiling fans cleaned and woodwork polished
Pull out appliances (as needed) and van
We will spend a couple of hours every SAT. morning.Everything on the list will be done by the end of the month.After cleaning is tea party time with my girls! :)
FRIDAY is our kitchen day and we eliminate a few things to have more time for it.
TUESDAY Grandma comes down at 12:30 for a craft day and so we adjust things for that too! :)
I think thats it!
Love it, Angie! I forgot to add in my schedule what my daily chores are (in addition to everything else)
ReplyDeleteMonday - Wednesday - Friday : Laundry
Tuesdays: Floors - Sweep, Mop, or Vacuum
Thursday: Bathrooms
Saturdays: Big project/clean upstairs
My problem is staying faithful to these!
I like seeing your territories for your kids! :) Good ideas!
