Each month here at Life Your Way, we’ll read through an ebook together, with weekly discussion questions and additional resources. Last month, we focused on my ebook. You can still download those resources and add your thoughts to the conversation by visiting the How to Have Your Cake and Eat It, Too Resources page.

I’m so excited about October’s ebook selection: Dustin Riechmann’s 15-Minute Marriage Makeover. This ebook is an amazingly practical handbook for busy couples in the throes of raising children and trying to make time to focus on their marriage as well. Broken into 28 daily exercises that take just 15 minutes each, it’s a great way to invest in your marriage without feeling overwhelmed or ready to throw in the towel before you even get started!

    Looks yummy — but a lot of cream cheese :-P {i’m a total cheapskate ;) }. I linked up my own cheesecake recipe, never realized how perfect it was for Valentine’s Day!

    We love cheesecake, too! My springform pan was “lost” at a church dinner, and I had been wondering if I could make it in a stone or some other pan. Thanks for the tip!

    My 4 year old gets the mail every day. She thinks it is fun. I like not having to go out in the cold. Win-win!

    You mean, leave the world a better place than you found it, even at home? Huh. What a concept! Thanks for the awesome article. Hee hee, someone has some chores coming his way. Except hopefully he won’t notice! :o )

     My girls (2yo and 5yo (tomorrow!)) don’t see chores as chores. They think everything is a game. I think it’s something that we have to model for them. I love keeping things organized and neat, so I’m happy about doing a load of laundry. It’s not glamorous work, but doesn’t it feel nice to put on clothes that don’t have stains on them? =p For the laundry, they love to put stuff into the machines and turn it on to watch it spin. Afterwards, we have the sorting game and then after everything’s folded, we have the stacking game. They are a little young for dishes, but the older one helps with plastic stuff sometimes. And if there’s something they don’t like doing, I give reminders that if they don’t want to clean it up, then they probably shouldn’t dump it out. If they do really want to play with it, then I tell them they have to clean it up when they’re done. At the end of the night, we do a ‘quick clean’ before brushing up. For younger kids, I feel like it’s easier when you give them a specific ‘job’ to do….like “Melody, you pick up all the pink pieces, and Emily, you pick up all the yellow ones.” Or “Everyone picks up 8 things.” (It’s even more fun when you say “quick clean quick clean” while you’re cleaning. And high fives afterwards is fun too. Don’t you wish someone would high five you everytime you did a chore?) When they have trouble finding something, I remind them that if they had put it back where they got it the last time, they would never have to look for it because it’ll always be in the same place. Okay, I’m not even sure if I’m on the right topic anymore. =p

    My 4-year-old has 4 jobs each day. She sets and clears the table. She brushes her teeth. (I know, that shouldn’t be a job, but it used to be a huge fight every night. Now that it’s a job, she does it willingly.) She feeds the cat.  Lastly, she is supposed to clean up her toys and crafts. This is the one that is often left undone. I’m not exactly sure how to encourage her to clean them up without actually getting rid of them. It’s a constant struggle at our house.

    My kiddos are 8 years old I have boy/girl twins.  I made up a checklist for them for everyday when they get up in the morning: make bed, wash up and brush teeth, get dressed, eat breakfast, pick up toys and clothes if they didn’t the night before.   I gave them each a clipboard to put their checklist on.

    My 5yo just begged me to show her how to clean the toilets.  Since I don’t use chemicals I figured it would be OK.  She did all 3, so I’ll let her do this every week.  She also does the dusting, baseboards (with a sock).  My 8yo cleans up the dog poop in the yard and cleans the kids’ bathroom vanity each week.  They both put their dishes in the sink and drinks in the fridge after each meal, make their beds each day, put their shoes/coats/bookbags away, strip their beds each week (so I can launder the sheets), and put their clean folded laundry away each week.

    My kids are grown now, but we had a system from the time they were 2 years old and that’s when they begun making their beds. We used a chart with starts or pennies and that made it fun for them plus it gave them a sense of accomplishment and self-worth. We added things as they grew older and eventually it was habit for them and we took away the charts. They didn’t receive an allowance for making their bed, doing the dishes, etc. during this time because they are contributing to the family home and no one pays mom to do these things, right? For their money, they could volunteraly do other things, mow, wash the car, and my youngest daughters’ favorite, iron the family clothes, etc. They are all very productive now with families of their own and are teaching their children to have good work ethics. This has prepared them for life.
