I’ve been doing chore lists with my kids for about 3 years now. I really liked the Chore Stick method for when they were younger and they needed my help with most things (like maybe even reading the chore stick when they were really little!). Lists are just so good for older kids who can […]

Kids Chores and Routines Checklists
You might remember me mentioning in my post about our Quarter Jar Reward System that I have some wonderfully normal children. Beautiful, smart, clever, and amazingly normal when it comes to needing reminders and help to do what they are supposed to do. For a while I felt like I needed to record my voice after […]
Tour the Girls’ Bathroom
Today I am going to give you a little tour of my girls’ bathroom. We are lucky enough to have four bathrooms, and this is the third one I’ve shown on the blog. (You can see my Master Bathroom HERE or The Green Bathroom Here.) One of these days I’ll show you the little powder […]
Tour the Girls’ Clubhouse
When I showed how my three girls share a bedroom a few weeks ago (see their bedroom HERE), I mentioned how we shuffled around the bedrooms a little while ago to give my tween girls a hangout place in the house. We have the three girls close in age, and then a much younger brother. […]
Boy’s Room Tour
A few year’s ago I shared my little boy’s nursery with you. It is still similar with some adjustments. {See his nursery here.} He had just turned 1 at the time and it honestly blows my mind that he just turned 3 last month. He is still my baby! I imagine I’ll still feel that […]
Guiding Children to Declutter
Children come with all sorts of different organizing pre-sets. I have four children, and they all have a wildly different approach to helping around the house, finishing chores, keeping their own spaces tidy, and getting rid of things they don’t need or want anymore. They all have the same mother and father, and have had […]
Organize Early Reader Novels and Novel Series
This week we are focusing in our kids spaces, so I’m going to show you a trick for keeping early reader novels from slipping, sliding, and falling all over your bookshelves. Let me tell you about one of my twin girls named Allison. If you don’t know where Allison is, she is somewhere reading. She […]
Tour My Little Girl’s Room
I had so much fun showing you my twin girls’ room last week that I thought I would show you my other little girl’s room. And I told you in the other tour that I want to show you my authentic life, so I thought you’d enjoy seeing my little Izzy’s Room exactly as I […]
Tour My Twin Girls’ Room
Confession: I’ve really drug my feet showing you my twins’ room. I finished the room for their 7th birthday. They are 8 1/2. So yeah. I think there were lots of reasons I was taking my time and all of them were MENTAL. I love it and my kids love it, but it is a […]
Quarter Jars – Rewarding Good Behavior
I have regular kids. What I mean by that is not that they aren’t my absolute favorite kids in the whole universe, but that they have normal kid tendencies. They need to be reminded to do their routines and chores. They can sometimes fight with each other or disobey. They leave messes out and don’t […]
