Make them do all the work. Then you can totally sit around and eat bon-bons and watch your “stories” all day. Duh.

  2. Yes! Love it! Been using this method for a couple of years myself, and it rocks. I also love your “sweep-a-meal-later” plan from a while back . . . it has changed my life.

    • I like to get one room in my house spotless then just sit there and pretend the rest of my house is that clean. It works for a little while.

  5. This was super cute!I think we need a shot of mom eating bonbons! I have been giving my kids chores to do for the last year and they are actually loving it. The “cleaning” they do will probably need to be re-cleaned within an hour, but at least they are trying and getting in the habit, right? I am sure they will not love chores in another year, but I will take what I’ve got now!

    • My kids always want to trade jobs with me. They think I keep all the “fun” jobs for myself. Like sweeping, vacuuming and folding clothes. Cleaning their room is apparently torture. I get away with a lot by occasionally trading with them. I clean their room and they’ll do dishes or fold clothes. It’s NEVER like I would do it, but beggars can’t be choosers!

  6. Please tell me what kind of vacuum she is using. I MUST HAVE ONE! My kids are willing but the dirt devil is junk and my big vacuum is too heavy and bulky for them.

    • It’s a Shark Cordless!! I call it the Cheerio Picker Upper. It is amazing! Bed, Bath and Beyond, Walmart or Target!

  7. I do this all the time…and I have two boys! One gets the vacuum and the other gets the Dustbuster. I’ll let them loose and go and check Facebook. :)
