Chore Chart Tips + $100 Home Depot Gift Card Giveaway Winner

August 20, 2013 By Amy @ Positively Splendid

I am always inspired during the back-to-school season to get organized and put systems in place to help our family stay that way, and there is honestly no better way to do just that than by creating a family chore chart.

Over at The Apron Blog by The Home Depot, I shared the chore chart that I recently made for my family, a framed magnetic chore chart. After a few weeks of consistent use, I can honestly say that we still love it! The chart features ceramic tiles outfitted with magnets, on each of which is written a different chore for each of my four children. This project was so easy to make (it can easily be made in the span of an afternoon), and it will be able to grow with my children over time. I hope you’ll venture over to The Apron for the full how-to.

And while we’re talking about chore charts, today I am sharing my top three tips for making a chore chart that will work for your family in the video below!

I have been working this month with The Home Depot in conjunction with their Do-It-Herself workshops to help women all across the country make their own family chore charts, and it has been so much fun! Last Thursday, I enjoyed good food, good company and good DIY tips over at The Home Depot in Round Rock, Texas as I helped co-lead the August DIH Workshop. The night’s focus was all about chore charts, and everyone in attendance had a chance to flex their DIY muscles while learning new, practical ways to help keep their families organized. It was a terrific night!
