Chores – Helping Kids with Goals for a Lifetime

I have a 9-year-old son that I want to grow up able to do things on his own. That being said it is a daily fight to get him to do his chores. So I spent many hours trying to figure out how to help him and make chores FUN. This is still a work in progress. We have been using this system for 2 months and it works for the most part.

Picture frame with goal sheet inside
Anthony (my son) has been talking about how he wants to upgrade his gaming system. He has an Xbox 360 but he would like the Xbox One. This system costs around $400 with the games he wants. So I had the item that I hope will keep Anthony on track to do what is needed to earn it.

Super Easy Goal Sheet
What you need: Picture Frame, Goal Sheet, and Dry erase marker.

1.) I search the internet for a template for the goal. I will save you this step and post the link here -> Thermometer template

2.) Found a picture frame at Dollar Tree. But I am sure most of you have extra picture frames just sitting around that you could use for this project.

3.) Printed and cut out the goal sheet to fit into the picture frame. Insert into a picture frame.

4.) On the glass I wrote the goal that Anthony wants to earn (Xbox ONE), the amount of money he needs to earn (Mom and Dad are paying half LUCKY KID), and wrote the dollar amounts with the dry erase maker. Super easy once the goal is made to just erase and start a new one.

Now you are ready for them to start earning money to work towards a goal!!

Chore List and Extra Coupons
This is what we did to help remind Anthony of the chores that need to happen daily and some extra chores that can earn more money if he wants to.

Daily Chore list
I used 2 small dry erase boards from Walmart Bartlesville one for each part of the day. We were having problems with Anthony remembering what he needed to do in the mornings without me having to tell him 100 times. This board has been a lifesaver. I now say to him have you done all of his items from his board which then reminds him that he needs to go move the magnet on the spot if completed.

I am telling you life changes in our household in the mornings!! If Anthony does all of his chores all week long without me reminding him that he earns his weekly allowance. If he misses 1 day he does not earn the money. This has also made it wonderful. Come Friday he does not want to mess up and lose his money for the week so he continues to work hard for his GOAL!!

Chores Coupon
I made some coupons that Anthony could use to make extra money during the week. I had fun coloring on these, but I think next time I will have Anthony help with this step. He is not so excited about doing the extra items. HAHA!

Hoping that this was useful and that you are able to help your kid’s goals play out. Goals will help them out so much when they are an adult.

Thank you for your time.

8 Perks of Hiring Simply Maid OK

There are many perks to hiring a cleaning company, and they go beyond simply getting your house clean once in a while. When you hire Simply Maid OK, you gain some peace of mind knowing that someone else is taking care of keeping your house clean and spotless, freeing up time in your schedule to do the things you’d rather be doing—like spending time with friends or loved ones, or working on projects that are more personally meaningful to you. Below are just 8 of the perks of hiring Simply Maid OK:

1) Punctual, Prepared, and Professional Cleaning Crew
Simply Maid OK is a cleaning company that specializes in cleaning homes and offices. We drive value through our punctual, prepared, and professional cleaning crew. Punctuality is a priority for us, as we value your time and would not keep you waiting. Additionally, our crew is trained, certified and prepared, who will clean your home or office thoroughly and efficiently.

2) Trust-Worthy and Reliable Cleaning Services
We employ only the most trustworthy, reliable, and dependable cleaners in order to provide you with the best service we can offer. Here are some reasons why you should hire us:

You want a clean home without the hassle.
You want convenience and quality service.
You want peace of mind and time to relax.
You want someone who cares about your home as much as you do.
You want a team you can count on!
We have got you covered. Here at Simply Maid OK, we will clean your home like it is our own!
3) Less Stress
Hiring a professional cleaning company can help reduce the stress in your life. You don’t have to worry about getting up early to clean your home before work, or coming home from work and not having time to clean. You won’t have to worry about clogged drains or scrubbing toilets.You won’t have to get the wired vacuuming going, tripping and tirelessly pushing it around. A company like ours will do all of that for you, so you can focus on other aspects of your life.

4) Heightened Health
A clean environment is essential to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Research has shown that the bacteria in a dirty home can contribute to symptoms like allergies and asthma, which can be exacerbated by mold and dust mites. A study from the Journal of Environmental Health also found that people who live in homes with high levels of indoor pollutants are more prone to respiratory infections and other diseases. The cleaner you keep your home, the less likely it is that you’ll experience any of these side effects. Hence, our cleaning services will also help you prioritize your health.

5) Don’t Have to Buy Cleaning Supplies
Doing your own house cleaning is a lot of work. It’s not only time-consuming and tedious, but it can also be expensive. You’ll have to buy cleaning supplies, then make sure you have the energy and mental space to actually do it. It’s much easier and more cost-effective to hire a professional housekeeper who will bring all the necessary supplies with them every time they clean. Plus, we will use quality supplies, and focus on natural products. This, coupled with state of the art technology, will ensure your home will be cleaned effectively and efficiently.

6) Saving Money in the Long-Run
A professional cleaning service will not only save you time, but also money. The average person spends $3,000 a year on household expenses for things like toiletries and paper goods. A professional cleaner will use those products and more to keep your home clean, so you don’t have to purchase them. And because they are professionals, they can get your house sparkling in no time! Beyond this, a cleaner home will cut costs for replacing old appliances and furniture, carpets, and so on. You will increase the lifespan of your assets with cleanliness, and even the value of your home will be well-maintained!

7) More Time to Do What You Love
Some people think that hiring a maid service is expensive and unnecessary. But the reality is that it can be much cheaper than you think. When you hire a maid service, you’ll get more time to do what you love! There are so many perks to having a professional cleaning company come in and clean your home. You’ll have more time to do the things you love, like take care of your kids or spend time with family. You won’t have to worry about the daily housekeeping tasks because they will be handled by professionals who know what they’re doing. And if there’s something that needs attention, they’ll address it before it becomes a major problem.

8) Invest in Yourself and Your Family
The idea is to take care of the things you need to do for yourself, so that you can be better prepared and more capable of taking care of the needs and wants of your family. It’s important to invest in yourself in order to invest in those around you. Taking care of yourself will allow you to be a better partner, parent, child, sibling or friend. You owe it to yourself and your loved ones.
