enforcing chores

Angie, not the whole house – but the living room and the girls bedroom, yes.  My bedroom gets done about 3 or 4 times a week, and the other bedroom, uh, gets done much less often.   We have some sinus issues, especially my husband and my youngest daughter.  We have found that vacuuming often has helped with morning sinus problems.

I have a regular sized vacuum and a stick vacuum – my 9 yr old uses the stick vacuum for their bedroom and she finds it fun to use. 

Just want to give an update, and say that Rene really inspired me and for two days now, we’ve had our new routine up and running and the results are amazing!  I have three 10year olds (triplets) and they can do a lot! Now before school and after dinner/before bed are the two times of day that everything gets put back in order and it’s a breath of fresh air!!!

I just wrote a log post re. chores and thought I’d share in the event it could help someone.
