Energize Your Family to Help You Out!

timerWhat’s the best way to get your family (especially your kids) to help out around the house? Energize them by making a game out of it.

I just finished reading a book called Total Mom Makeover by Hannah Keeley. In the book, Keeley gives a great tip that will help mom get some assistance around the house. She suggests setting a timer and asking everyone to pick up and straighten up as much as they can until the timer runs out. I think my kids would enjoy this (at least the first five times anyways). They love a challenge and they love to compete with each other. And, if I can get some cleaning done too, well then count us in!

I’ll be doing a complete review of Keeley’s book later this week. It’s a great motivator for moms.
