I've always been envious of those super cute back to school signs that I see other parents post with a colorful chalkboard sign documenting how much their child has grown and I've wondered how in the world do they have time to get it done when I feel lucky to just snap a quick picture before my kiddos get on the school bus.
​
I now have two versions for you! One is a super cute faux chalk board sign with colorful lettering and the other is great for those that only have a black and white printer and it uses less ink. So now I am excited to offer two different versions for you to choose from. Yes, of course they are both FREE!

Tips for Trips with Kids

Travel just makes my heart sing, but preparing for a trip with kids can be overwhelming. 

One of my absolute favorite things is taking trips. We don't get to do a lot of big trips. We live in a super small town and the cities, where I grew up, is about 3 hours away. We do take a lot of little trips for this and that when we typically spend a night or two.
​
Four huge travel tips for trips with kids!  Great tips that will make vacations with kids more enjoyable. I'm telling ya these tips are sanity savers that will have your next trip better from beginning​ to end.

Summer Math Routine

Summer Learning Loss Opportunity

Over the summer kids lose an average of ​one full month of reading skill with an even greater loss of 2.6 months in math, this is often referred to as summer learning loss. Not only do they loose previously learned material but it also takes 4-6 weeks for teachers to reteach students after summer vacation.
It's not all bad news, if your optimist, because this situation also presents us with a great opening to help our kids catch up in areas they struggle or even get a bit ahead. Summer learning loss offers us as parents such an ​amazing opportunity to help our kids stay strong in what they have learned and even catch up in areas that they need help in.

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.

Don't let your kids get bored this summer! There is way too much to do!

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!​
