Better Cleaning Products
feel good about cleaning again

Picture
There are several posts you can find on the web about how to make your own cleaning products but sometimes it is hard to find the time to go the DIY route particularly for busy moms so I wanted to find some other options.
For some time now I have been looking for store bought cleaning products that are safer for my family. I hesitate to call anything truly safe but "safer" seems to be a more achievable goal.

3 Ways to Wash Stuffed Animals
3 Ways to Wash Stuffed Animals and help keep your kids healthy this flu and cold season.

... and help keep your kids healthy this flu and cold season.

​Every kid loves stuffed animals – they are soft, cute, big, cuddly and easy and fun to play with. But just like any other toy they need to be washed as well. And this is the tricky part because stuffed animals are not always easy to clean. Some of them are too delicate to use a washing machine, some have mechanisms in them and some have details such as glued on eyes or glitter or any other part that will come off if you throw them in the washing machine. But there are some that can totally be washed in the washing machine. And this is the first method we are going to talk about:

What Experts Say About Chores & Screen Time for Kids!

Kids doing chores in the NEWS

Picture
A survey by Braun Research last year says 82 percent of adults had chores as children, but only 28% of children today have chores and help out around the house.
So that makes me a minority in two ways. Firstly I didn't have chores as a child and secondly my kids do chores today.

Do your kids ever get bored? Do they say there is nothing to do?

NEATLINGS has a solution that will make both parents and kids happy!
Let your kiddos do extra chores for rewards! I'm not talking about rewarding them for chores that they should be doing anyway I'm talking about chores that will teach them to go above and beyond. Maybe it is doing laundry, washing windows, cleaning the bathtub or simply wiping down the bathroom counters (great chore for little ones but may require a step stool).

How to use chore cards

Here at NEATLINGS we sell Chore Charts and Chore Cards. 

When launching my products only a few short months ago I decided to also offer the chore decks for sale separately. I thought that if someone preferred a different color combination or needed a replacement deck then they would have that option.

To my surprise many people were purchasing the chore ​​cards that had never purchased the

    Hi! I'm Robin

    Welcome to Robin's Blog on NEATLINGS. Here you will find loads of stuff on chores for kids & lots of free printables.

    Why Chores? I created a chore system for my kids that works amazingly! It's not like any chore system you've used before and it WORKS! So, with that you'll find lots of stuff on chores. Please check it out at our home page.

    I really enjoy making printables for kids. They are fun for the kids, they are fun to make, and I enjoy making something that I can share, so I just keep at it. I hope you find some you enjoy too. If you signup for our newsletter you will get access to all of our FREEBIES! You will see the signup form at the bottom of our home  page.

    I'm a born and raised big city girl who decided to move to a small town so that my husband could follow his dreams of being a farmer. I'm not ready to move to a farm place as my husband would like but we compromised on a darling small town, with heartwarming people, a beautiful community, and an absolutely fabulous school. With the move I left my fortune 500 career and became a stay at home mom to my 3 wonderful children.

    For the record I am not someone that loves chores or housework in fact it is quite the opposite I am not a very "domestic" gal but I love my children to all ends and because of that I strive to teach them everything they need and to cultivate contributing, confident, can-do kids!​
