How do YOU get your kids to do Chores?!

Okay all my blog friends! I want your input on something! Do you have your kids do chores and Why!? I have run across several mom's lately who do not make there kids do any type of chore at all.Why, You ask? I have no idea! That is what i am trying to figure out! So i am trying to see how many moms actually DO make their kids do chores. What works and doesn't work for you as a mom trying to get your kids to do chores? My kids are pretty good about doing chores. Kaylee LOVES to do them?! I would love any input that you would like to share! 

Thanks guys!

Valentine Craft " I dig you"

I was blog searching the other day and came across this blog that is absolutly Ahhhh--maziiiinng! She had such a cute and clever idea for Valentines Day for a class! So i went ahead about bought all of the stuff for it the other day!! 
This craft is called I 'dig' you! So stinkin cute!

Want to make your own? In case you do, here is what you need:

• Plastic Shovels (I found ours on ebay for less than a dollar a piece!
• Small cello bags
• Valentine Candy (I used trusty Conversation Hearts)
• Message tag (I designed a 1.5” circle is photoshop then used my cricut to cut the 2” scalloped part) You could also X-nay the gift tag and use a paint marker as suggested in Family Fun
• 1/4” width ribbon
• Single hole punch

To assemble:

• Fill your cello bag with about a 1/4 cup of candy
• Use a twist tie to attach the bag to the shovel
• Attach your message tag with ribbon and your done!

Super cute, super easy, and I bet your kids will love to give them to all their little Valentines!
