- Georgia Anne- Doing some chores to earn money for a road trip!
Every road trip, I include Trip Budget Sheets in the children’s Trip Folders. Daddy O & I give them some money they can use on souvenirs or snacks, but it’s a modest amount that they could spend at the first stop if they’re not careful! (That wouldn’t be Lauren, who will come home with all of the money she left with, minus a pack of gum’s worth!)
This trip, I’ve jotted down a list of chores I’d like to have help with and how much I’m willing to pay for them. So far, it’s working like a charm! The children have already completed half the list and our home is looking spic n span! (Did your Mom use that expression when you were a kid?)
This is the Ohio Paid Chore List I printed for this trip. I left room at the bottom to jot more down as I think of other dirty nooks. I’ll pay out right before we leave so no one looses their money, puts it in someone else’s piggy bank, or otherwise misplaces it. We’re one step closer to our big trip… the countdown is on!
