It's amazing when they are young how EAGER they generally are to help with tasks! If I can just channel that into something that will help me get things done around here. GREAT idea on the rewards idea - that's one of the things I was struggling with - thinking of what they could "get" for helping out. They are still so really young, the concept of money is still so foreign to them. I'm not sure I want to introduce the allowance factor! lol. Quality time sounds like a great compromise!! Thanks for the incentive. Now I just need to stop being a lazy bum and actually DO my chore lists....! I’ve been thinking a lot lately about chores and how to get the kids to work on things.

I love to hear it. It is so true. Sometimes it's hard to keep the momentum going, but really, it takes so little time to do even a little that makes such a big difference. Sometimes I'm tempted to skip "just today", but when I'm finished I am ALWAYS so glad that I didn't. It's always time well invested and I always feel great that I did do it. Enjoy your new clear counter tops!! If you can make it a point now, you can keep them that way, probably in very little time each day :0) WooHoo Christina!! I love to hear it. It is so true.

I just cleaned off 2 smaller counter tops in my kitchen and it made a WORLD of difference not to see the piles. Now to keep up the momentum and have it stay that way! This so perfectly describes me!

Good advice, but sometimes hard to follow!

One (very well known) saying that I like is:

“If you do what you’ve always done you’ll get what you’ve always got”

Thanks for letting us in on this great tip. As you said, it's such a good feeling to have the family meal taken care of and off of our 'plate'. And it's wonderful for any family that Mom makes mealtime a priority. We had a quicky meal last night (at a clean table!), but tonight we are having chicken. Maybe I will make a pie, I have a pie shell here and some whip cream. hmmmm. What did you have? I'm having a great weekend, getting ready to tackle some paper piles around here that will be a load off. Hope you are enjoying yours too! Hi Michelle! Thanks for letting us in on this great tip.

I feel good all day just knowing that is out of my way! Hope you're having a great weekend! Hi, Jan,

I always feel so good when I can manage to get dinner prepared early in the day, so in the afternoon, when the “crazies” hit around my house, I can take it easy and know dinner’s sorted! I feel good all day just knowing that is out of my way!

Hope you’re having a great weekend!
