Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Holiday Fat/Calories

WHAT????? Skip that. It's Thanksgiving. Bring on the gravy, sweet potato casserole and the pie! Instead I'll show you how I'm managing to keep my sanity and have a clean(er) house over the holidays.  Enter the chore chart...

materials:

old cookie sheet (25 cents @ garage sale)

scrap magnets from mail

double sided tape or glue

ruler

pencil

scissors

craft paper

paint

paint brush

chalkboard paint

chalk ink

Step one: clean and paint cookie sheet

 step two: cut up paper and magnets in the size and shape you desire

step three: adhere magnets to craft paper

step four: sketch then paint chores onto paper magnets (there are a lot of great free printables available out there if you want to save time)

step five: draw "system" onto cookie sheet with chalk ink

step six: hang and enforce

There is method to my madness...I drew the pictures of the chores as well as wrote them out because my littles are only 6 and 3. I chose the To Do/Done "system" for now because I think it's easiest for now. But, that is where the chalkboard paint and chalk ink come in handy... If this system doesn't work for us, I can change it at any time with minimal effort. xo
