Chore Chart

I've been having a little trouble keeping track of all the things I need to help my kids with. I'm pretty good about keeping track of all their activities; Piano, Art class, cub scouts, etc.
But when it comes to reminding them to do their chores; practicing piano, reading in Spanish, trash duty and so forth, I'm not doing so great. So I googled "chore chart template", I found several,  this one is my favorite  I found it at "The Project Girl".
I like it because I can hand write on it, customize it to what they need each week and it's cute. I can also use it for my own chores and organize myself too.

Here you go:

You can download the chart here

Let me know if you use it!

Last Minute DIY Valentines

I  don't know about you, but I usually find myself making Valentines last minute for my kids' classes. I don't like to buy the store ready Valentines, but I also don't have a ton of time to make them.  Each of my kids have to bring 24 Valentines and I've found a few cute/easy ideas I'd like to share with you.

We made these last year, the idea and photo came from Martha Stewart,

I just printed these cute cards for Joey's class from InkTree Press she has a great blog. You can dowload them here.

I've been wanting to make these for a while, they are so clever! The idea came from the talented Allison, check them out here.

Nico decided he wants to draw a picture and have me make copies for his friends, if he does it I will share them on an update, we'll see.

Let me know if you make any of these :)

Do you have any easy Valentines ideas?


UPDATE: This is what Nico drew and gave his friends today, we just taped a chocolate candy to the back,  he's so funny!

I think he saw this in one of his Diary of the Whimpy kid books.
