by Lily @militaryfamof8 2 Comments

I hope that you enjoy our Anna and Elsa's Cute and Functional Frozen Chore Charts. These chore charts are such a cute way to help kids want to mark off the tasks they complete! Laminate them or print them out as many times as you wish, the choice is yours!

Cute and Functional Frozen Chore Charts

 

As a Mom of 6 kids I have tried everything under the sun when it comes to chores. Chore charts work. It’s that simple. Whatever reward was attached to the completion of the week was not as important. It was the satisfaction and happiness when they saw the chart completed. I have also bought the biggest and fanciest charts. I have made my own from printer paper or poster boards. Again, it was always about the end result. Having adorable and fun chore charts are pleasing to the eye of course, so any chance I got to use designs and characters was always a bonus! Here are some Cute and Functional Frozen Chore Charts we have created for you, I hope they help you as much as they helped me!

Amwell To The Rescue #MOMSLOVEAMWELL
Hey parents, you know those days where one kid is sick but the others aren’t? The days when you want to bring
the one that isn’t feeling well to the doctor, but then you think of bringing the other children to a
doctor’s office filled with other sick kids?
You know what that means, right?
Yup, more sick kids!
And “ain’t nobody got time for that!”
Of course you can’t do nothing because that would just be wrong and it would lead to more sick
kids as well.

Looking for Something Specific?

Hi!
Welcome to our little world!
My name is Lily, I am a Mommy to 6 kids; and wife to a US Navy Sailor of 15 years. We are a typical Family trying to live the American dream, and though my son’s Autism and my Husband’s PTSD and TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) sometimes try to dampen our mood; we try our hardest to push through it and keep on movin’!

I absolutely LOVE blogging, sharing our life, and our adventures; whether good or not so good.

Our Family went through what WE hope is the worst week ever a year and a half ago, and tragedies continued to hit our Family for a while.
In 4 days, our car was totaled, our house broken into, and our house caught on fire. We are literally having to start over from scratch.
