Chore Chart Winner!

Welcome back!

Last week I listed this fabulous giveaway by My Precious Kid here on the blog.  I also asked for your “chore” tips to help me get my little ones to do their “chores”.  I had several great ideas given.  I love the colors tip and I realize now that I MUST play along, “do I have to?” Just kidding.

Thanks so much for your entries, but there is only one winner, and she is Lisa from Sweet, Sweet Reality. I am emailing Lisa to get her info so that Kay over at My Precious Kid can send her out her “chore chart”.  Congrats!

Do Your Kids Do Chores – A Giveaway

If there’s one thing I wish I could figure out about parenting, it is how to motivate my children to pick up their toys, clean up after themselves and not make such messes.  I know that’s what children do, and I have to teach them, and they have to grow up a little, but there has got to be something to make this process a little better.

I would really like advice in this area though, my children are 6, 2.5 and 18 months.  I want to be realistic but at the same time I need them to help.  I could really use something like this handy dandy chore chart.  I bet that would help huh? Here’s what one customer had to say about the chore chart:

“As soon as we started using this chart we noticed an improvement in our son’s behavior. Our expectations no longer seem arbitrary to him. Instead he knows what we expect, and he looks forward to reviewing the chart at each day’s end. When he has performed what is expected of him, he gets to place a smiley face magnet in the appropriate box.”

Well, if you give me some great chore advice I’ll enter you to win one.  Yep! My Precious Kid has donated one to give away here on the blog.  Enter between now and Sunday, January 24 at midnight and you’ll be entered to win.  Simply leave your chore advice in the comments below.  (Contest valid in the United States only.)

I’ll randomly choose a winner on Monday, January 25.

I Could Use Your Help

As you have probably read I”m trying to get to Blissdom, a bloggers conference in Nashville next month. I went last year had a wonderful experience and want to repeat. There are various contests online and one is a writing contest. As I am a writer this one appealed me. Today, my post is up at Skimbaco. Can you do me a favor and go comment? Thanks!
