We put together some simple baskets for each child with their personal stuff in the Bathroom. I also made some new chore boards for everyone. They turned out pretty good. I share how we did this all and how you can also!
Organizing the bathroom and new chore boards
Organizing the bathroom & Chore boards!
Tonight we put our baskets together for the bathroom. Each child has their own small basket. It holds their tooth brush, tooth paste, deodorant and razors. They are big enough to hold their most personal stuff. They wrote their names on them, and on the stuff to go in them, we beaded some craft wire and put on them. They each did theirs different. We then hung them in the bathroom. I put the older kids up higher and younger kids lower. We also have 2 closet organizers hanging in the bathroom. One is large, the other small. The larger has the towels, wash clothes and big stuff in it. The smaller one is my personal items, and small bathroom stuff. The kids all got their own tooth paste and new tooth brushes, and deodorant. I hope they will like the baskets enough to not loose their tooth brushes with in 2 days! The chore boards were fun to make. I took some of the boxes from our move and cut them. I glued two sides together and then wrapped them in wall paper. I wrote their names on them, one board per person. Then I took some velcro stickies and put on the board, 4 each. I then took the other side of the velcro sticky and put them on clothes pins. On a variety of color and size papers I wrote out the different chores. Daily and weekly. They are hung by my board with some blank papers so I can add or change things as I want. I stick them to the boards using the clothes pins with the velcro! I also have some of the yellow sticky stuff you can use to hang things. I hung a paper on Loos thats says "Birthday girl, 10 yrs old" Because Tuesday is her birthday! I made each board with room for me to put a little note on it for the kids. I thought it would be a nice way to give them a little extra I love you or recognize something they have done that I am proud of them for. They turned out better than I had expected and the kids are excited about the new way to keep track of chores. Now the white board will be used to write what we have going on for the day. I also have a larger white board I have not used yet. I am going to pull it out and write our basic daily schedule down. Hopefully it will remind us all good enough we stick to it and get everything done. I also have a board up for me and Gma. The kids really liked that, they can see what we do during the day. Maye they wont think we do nothing. I also have another board that I am putting my most used recipes on. Its in the kitchen where its easily accessed. So thats been my day.
