So, I do laundry two times a week and keep hangers in the laundry room so stuff can get hung up as soon as it comes out of the dryer. <BR/><BR/>For chore charts, I could use any suggestions you get! It seems like it is easier to do it myself so I tend to do that instead of teaching my kids some responsibility. A friend of mine assigns chores for the whole week which I think is a pretty good idea.

We modified the ferber with Rachel and it worked wonders! Sounds like you have some experience with that already. Oh yea, Harry Potter was awesome!

Have you tried other ways? <BR/><BR/>Rochelle-<BR/>Thank you!<BR/><BR/>Summershine-<BR/>I like that --I never thought about plastic sheet covers before.<BR/>I do the same with laundry sometimes, but the problem is that I always have so much to do, and so folding the laundry as it comes out tends to be harder for me then it looks. Maybe I should just buckle down and change a few habits!<BR/><BR/>Anybody have any other tips for laundry, too? Keep 'em comin'! I want them all!Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10218614720786379961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-67596042408477365202007-08-07T15:07:00.000-06:002007-08-07T15:07:00.000-06:00Hmmm, I don't know if my idea for a chore chart is...Hmmm, I don't know if my idea for a chore chart is good or not but it works for us.<BR/>I created our own chart in our art program. I put the days of the week across the top and then colorful pictures that corresponded with each chore down the left side (since my kiddos can't read yet).<BR/>I stuck it in a plastic sheet protector and taped it to the wall. They put a sticker on when they've done their chore and the stickers peel off easy when it's time to start the next week. Simple, reusable and very cheap.<BR/><BR/>As for laundry, the only way I stay on top of it is to do it all in one day and to do it immediately. <BR/>I do about 4 loads every Saturday. I immediately fold each load after it comes out so it seems less mountainous than waiting until <I>all</I> the loads are done. <BR/>Occasionally I have to do a load in the middle of the week, but I handle that one the same way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-12841338107778085512007-08-07T15:00:00.000-06:002007-08-07T15:00:00.000-06:00Check out my friend, Laurie's website.
