Plan and organize family chores

by Leslie

With 4 kids, I have to plan and organize ahead. I plan my weekly menus, cook ahead and freeze and generally have the family's weekly activities on the wall in the kitchen.

When I plan the kids chores, I use a colorful whiteboard, which has the children's favorite colors, and get them to sit down with me each week to map out the chores.

It becomes quite a fun game. I also use this whiteboard to track their progress - which they seem not to mind too much.
