If you want to use this QR code (Quick Response code) just save the image and paste it where you want. You can even print it and use it that way. Coffee cups, T-Shirts etc would all be good for the QR code.

I stack up the kids' papers and then regularly go through them and keep a few, which I store in a big manila envelope, one for each kid, for each school year.

Use a broom to wash tub and shower so you dont have to bend
Bent but not broken.

I have a long handled swab to clean the tub with. I got it from Fuller Brush. It has done so much to save my back. I can clean both the tub and walk-in shower.

I have a gorgeous 4 year old son who loves helping his mummy.
He would rather help me do 'mummy jobs' as he calls them than play with his stuff.
I dont know how long it will last so i let him do whatever housework he likes lol.
When i have a bad flare i just do one or two jobs and try not to feel guilty about the ones that are left, there's always another day.

I've been using FlyLady's tip of setting a dinger for 15 minutes and alternating cleaning and rest. Sometimes 5 minutes work to 15 minutes rest . . but it really helps. =)

Thanks Megan! I always thought it was important for my kids to understand reciprocity and that they were not "entitled" to be chauffered around.

But she IS old enough to understand that when she leaves things out, they may disappear for a week. You may need to give her verbal clues....'this was found in the living room, now it's going in a box in the closet for a short vacation' to make it worthwhile. She wouldn't understand having to buy it back, but she will understand its absence. Hopefully, she won't get a chair and climb up to rescue it...LOL.
