Family Jobs and More

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of BISSELL Homecare, Inc. for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
I posted this picture on Instagram the other day, and got lots of interest in our family “job” system…

With a large household, it’s imperative that the entire family get involved in house cleaning. We have “jobs” and like any job in the real world, we pay “commissions” for them. At a whopping rate of $0.10 a job 🙂 But I feel like it’s teaching responsibility and money management and teamwork, etc. I’m working on a future post to tell you all about our system and what’s working for us.
So on the topic of jobs, check out the excitement that showed up at our house…. it is a BISSELL Powerglide and it’s going to be awesome!

Our current vacuum is great, but it is HEAVY. Like crazy heavy. My favorite thing to anticipate in this new vacuum – it is LIGHTWEIGHT!! Here you can see our stairs in our entryway – – and how excited the kids are that they will actually be able to maneuver a vacuum for stair cleaning (I should have included a picture of myself, jumping for joy!)

Other all-star features to the BISSELL – – No loss of suction (phew!), removable pod for portable cleaning (hello, stairs! and van cleanout…), long hose, adjustable handle, and 27 foot cord (awesome – a short cord drives me crazy). As you can see, it’s an all-star vacuum.

And guess what – you can win one on BISSELL’s Facebook page – head over there for more info on winning one for yourself! enter to win

Also, you can use the code POWERGLIDE for $20 and free shipping – yep, that’s a deal! (valid 9/12 -11/30/13)

Now, on the topic of messes… let’s breech the messy craft room… cause I know that you love when I share what’s happening in real life – and it’s looking about like this:

Um yeah, obviously I need to pick up and vacuum in there ASAP! Here’s a view from the inside looking out, just so you can get a feel for all the chaos –

So stay tuned, to see if I get it cleaned up, to hear about how the BISSELL PowerGlide does on the stairs and in the car, and to learn more of our family chores. Lots of info coming up that you won’t want to miss. Meanwhile, you can check out these cleaning tips from BISSELL and a post about Celebrating Everyday Messes (we can all relate to that!)
