Amazon: The Jesus Storybook Bible $2.99

find more in : Amazon, Featured, On-line Deals

Share This Post :

All of my friends who have The Jesus Storybook Bible rave about it! Right now you can download it on Amazon for just $2.99!

The multiple award-winning Jesus Storybook Bible tells the Story beneath all the stories in the Bible. It takes the whole Bible to tell this Story. And at the center of the Story, there is a baby, the Child upon whom everything would depend. From Noah to Moses to King David, every story whispers his name. Jesus is like the missing piece in a puzzle—the piece that makes all the other pieces fit together.

Thanks Motherhood on a Dime!

DIY Chore Board For All Ages

find more in : DIY Projects, Featured, In the Home

Share This Post :

I love my new chore board. My kids seem to like it too.

I am a firm believer in ~~child labor~~ chores.

Actually, I’m a believer in my children learning the value of hard work, being part of a team and how to carry their own weight. It just so happens that helping out around the house is a great way to work toward this goal.

The thing is, keeping five children organized and on task (and more importantly, inspecting their work) is a tough job in and of itself.

I’ve tried winging it. That didn’t work our so well. I’ve also tried store bought chore boards and more excel spreadsheets and custom tables than you can imagine.

I’ve also seen the elaborate DIY chore boards on Pinterest that are obviously meant for people with ALOT of time on their hands and who obviously do NOT have more than two children. (I’m joking. Kind of.)

While some of these worked for some of the time, we didn’t stick with any of them. We either outgrew them, they weren’t efficient or I wasn’t dedicated enough. Or I just didn’t have the time to make them.

Fast forward to about six months ago. I fell in love with my friend’s DIY Chore Board which she made based off of this original design and tutorial from Today’s Fabulous Finds. Love. at. first. sight.

It only took me six months to get my ducks in a row and just do it, but I finally finished it (just in time for summer) and I love it!

What I love about this DIY Chore Board

It was an easy project – doable for even the most novice do-it-yourself-er.
The materials were inexpensive, some of which I had on hand.
This Chore Board is simple, efficient, customizable and will grow with my family.
It also looks great hanging on the wall.

What I did differently on my Chore Board

I used a larger board – 6″ x 24″
I used scrapbooking letter stickers and then decoupaged to seal instead of stenciling.
I added more hooks to mine to help me organize chores that needed to be assigned.
I placed all of my hooks on the face of the board instead of putting some on the underside.
I hand printed my chore tags with a fine tip sharpie.

How I saved money on supplies

I used a FREE paint sample I got from Lowe’s.
I bought the letters at 50% off at Hobby Lobby.
The bronze spray paint for the cup hooks was 40% off at Hobby Lobby.
The cup hooks, modge podge and and ribbon to hang it with all came from my craft closet.

You can find the full tutorial at Today’s Fabulous Finds as well as grab the free printable template for the chore tags.

What tools do you use for assigning and tracking household chores?
