I finished my chore chart. I'm posting the list of chores/healthy habits here in case you want ideas to do your own chore chart. I originally had a monetary value attached to each chore for me to spend on myself (and not the kids!), but even with most of the items being worth only 10-30 cents, it ended up that I would earn way too much money. I want to keep it somewhere between 5 and 10 dollars a week-- that way it's a small enough amount so I don't feel guilty spending money on myself and I think I will work harder if it's more challenging to earn a few bucks. I decided to assign each chore a point amount-- most items are worth 1 to 10 points. Each point actually equals one penny, but I prefer to think of them as points because there is no way I'm going to want to clean a toilet for 5 cents. :)

You may laugh at some of the things on here, and I don't blame you! It doesn't seem like I should have to be reminded to brush my teeth and shave, but with two small kids that run me ragged I'm surprised I remember to wear deoderant most days. I'll probably tweak this chart after I've used it awhile, but for now I think it looks pretty good.
