Proverbs 31:27-29
She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
“Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.”
Below is a list of blog posts related to chores – “chores” being rather broadly defined as anything related to household management and day-to-day tasks. These posts describe how I, as the Mom of a large family, manage to get everything done, how the kids help me, and the various systems and ideas that have helped our whole family.
