Things Mentioned on This Week’s Podcast
- Neatlings Chore Chart System – the chore system my family uses
- Motivated Moms is the system that has worked best for me to keep up with regular housework. I love it and have never tried anything else since finding Motivated Moms. I especially like that it includes “little things” like clipping my children’s nails!
- Fly Lady – another housekeeping system many like!
- Home Management Plan & Simple – this is the newly written version of Large Family Logistics, a book I found helpful when I first started developing home systems. I haven’t seen this version of the book, but I imagine it’s a solid help to a mama who needs to learn systems for her home
