I have recently come across the greatness that is Miss Poppins's blog, check it out here. On her blog I found a great chore binder system which is chock full of awesome printables. The entire bundle is only $10, and is a great way to implement a chore system at home with kids, without stressing mommy and daddy out! We already have a pretty good system at home, so I didn't necessarily need the entire thing, but I did see the Family Council printables and instantly loved it. It has some good thought behind it, and is a way to efficiently tackle everything coming up in the next month, as a family. I love that it starts out with everyone mentioning one praise or good thing about each other, which is huge in terms of building people up, especially our children! It opens the door to what is working well in the family, and what could be better, and the solution to make it better. There are outlined goals as a family, wants & needs, as well as family planning. I borrowed a lot of the information that she already had, created this printable, but also added areas for meal-planning and special requests.
I love it, thinks it's a great way to get some awesome conversations started and also ensure that everyone feels like they have a voice in our family!
