So basically this week I was so behind in housework and so bummed out. I was reading about Chinese New Year and learned that one of the traditions associated with CNY is spring cleaning. I thought about how much funner it would be to celebrate in a clean home. Then I proceeded to do the most mom thing I’ve ever done and forced my kids to dedicate a week to cleaning. Well, not the whole week, but they did have to pick up their toys.
I made them cute little charts with their chores. Make bed, pick up toys, set table (Millie), sweep (Charlee). For the most part they have been happy to “help”. It would still be easier to do it myself but we are learning. We sang lots of clean up songs too.
