During the summer months, we have a few more chores, but less time. I created a list that has most of the chores on it. I color coded it, boys, girls, and all…
Since we have 3 boys and 3 girls, it works pretty well.
On whatever major cleaning day we have for a week, I will print it off, hang it on the fridge and they should get to work. Sounds easy ehh?
For the most part is works well. I try to have cleaning day the day of or day before a day we can go swimming or do another special fun surprise.
By assigning chores boys, girls,and all rather than by names, I have made it easier to get through the chores, if one of my children is gone, or if I have extra children. We create a sense of teamwork.
Purple girls, green boys, orange all.

mother, christian, wife, woman, child of God. It is about my life as a farmer’s wife, as a cook, a baker, a nurse, a teacher, a woodworker, a housekeeper, a farmer (yep, I drive tractors, pick up hay bales, and other farm duties), a gardener. So, what you read here, is me, as a transparent sometimes hot headed, passionate, and opinionated person.
Love the color coding! We just have a family cleaning hour (or two) Everyone works, once a task it complete they move on to whatever else they see needs to be done, or they see me for suggestions. It works, some days better than others. Sometimes I wish they wouldn’t need so many suggestions so I bought Managers of their Chores from The Maxwells. We’ll see
So I have to ask, why don’t you spray inside the microwave??
I had one child spray a little too much in the microwave and it never worked again…lol
