Family chore system!


These charts and schedules are sooooo cute and functional!  The creator's name is Angela, and would you believe she has a blog called The Creative Homemaker!    (Bet you'll never guess how I came upon her website!)   

Anyway, this clever gal has come up with something she calls her "Summer System."  You've just GOT to visit her blog and check it all out.    This tiny picture just doesn't do it justice.   She's actually beginning to customize and sell these - you can see "buy" links on the right side of the page.

While you're there, she's got another post about a wheel she uses to assign rules for her "Family Home Evening" - which, incidentally is a pretty neat Mormon tradition.  (She's LDS) 

I googled "Family Home Evening" and found tons and tons of great ideas for Bible stories,  crafts, visuals, etc. that could easily be used for our own families.     Like this site - when you click on "Obedience 1", there are some ideas about Jonah and how to discuss obedience.    So many of them don't even mention the Book of Mormon,  and simply use the Bible.

We've been intending to do a little family night for a while now, where we could read a Bible story and discuss as a family... but I'm the queen of "do as I say and not as I do."   Maybe this will get us started!
