Chore Chart- Laura’s Family-https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-Nj6zb-XpFG9aigJ21pLM8CqAPED8pFE/view?usp=sharing

Down the left is our initials. I chose the four chores that really would be a huge help to our household and that everyone participates in creating. The chores I chose are: -

Laundry- fold one load and place in a specific area for everyone to grab their stack -

Dishes- Unload one load

Pick Up upstairs

Pick Up- downstairs

Each of these chores should take max ten minutes. You will notice an ALL/ALL section. That means all of us are in charge of all these things- keeping our room straight, PUT- picking up (our) things, putting away our plate in the dishwasher, and setting/cleaning up our space at the table.

I am telling you- I am very thankful for this chart. The environmental wellness that Amy taught us about- has drastically improved in our house and it is due to this chart!
