Mommy's Little Helpers

Hiring someone to help around the house is pretty common here. You can find someone skilled at just about everything...laundry, cooking, cleaning, gardening, watching the kids, shopping, etc.
 
 
This lovely lady helped us out for several years and the girls love running into her around the village.

We currently do not have any outside help. However, I am finding that I have a lot of wonderful help right within my own family! The pint size variety. :)

One gets the clips, the other the wet clothes.


They are getting really good at folding cloth diapers!


Mini pizzas make for happy bakers.

They actually keep track of who GETS to rinse the dishes.

Then there is the bean sorting game they love! (I think they like the stirring and scooping part the best though.)


We did have to add a guideline for dusting...only wood or plastic items. Too many curtains and shoes were getting wiped down! 

They don't do the main sweeping, but they LOVE getting to use the small broom to sweep up the piles.

FYI: the only chores they actually have to do is getting dressed, making their beds, and picking up their toys during the day. The rest are all totally voluntary activities that they often find fun!
