As a full-time working mom, any kind of help is valuable, especially at home. My son Sebastian loves to help me around the house, and as he continues to grow, I’ve given him more and more chores to help me transition through the week with ease. Plus is a nice way to empower him and develop his sense for responsibility.

Chores can also make good learning experiences. One of my son’s favorite chores is helping with the laundry. We play games of finding items of certain color, or sorting clothes by type. There is always a way to have fun!

This inspired us to create our line of Personalized Chore Charts, with cute designs for boys and girls. They are made of sturdy PVC with dry-erase gloss lamination, and we include a dry-erase pen already attached to the chart! They are very easy to install, as they come with a magnet strip and a velcro strip, so you can choose the one of your preference. 

My son and I like to have our very own Custom Chore Chart in the fridge. It is a easy go-to place and it’s easier to keep up-to-date.
