How time flies. After looking forward to this trip for so long, it's strange and a little sad to think that my Bucket List Trip to Russia has come to an end. What can I say? The post-travel blues are real, and I've got 'em bad. That's part of the reason it's taken me a good … Continue reading Day 15-16: Helsinki and Homebound
Month: September 2015
Day 14: Last stop, Tallinn
I didn't want to say goodbye to Riga, but we still had one more Baltic state capital awaiting us -- Tallinn, Estonia! To be honest, Riga really raised the bar for me. It was the only city post-Russia that the really had me enamoured. I know, big shoes to fill, eh? No surprise then that … Continue reading Day 14: Last stop, Tallinn
Day 12-13: Riga, you are all kinds of beautiful
This is it, the city I consider to be the jewel of the Baltics based solely on my brief visit. We said farewell to Vilnius and headed to Riga, the capital of Latvia. Before crossing the border, we took a slight detour to fit in one last stop in Lithuania. Welcome to what's known as the Hill of Crosses. … Continue reading Day 12-13: Riga, you are all kinds of beautiful
Day 11: Lithuania, let the Baltics begin!
I can't say I was too upset to be leaving Belarus. The Baltics are up next, beginning with the largest state, Lithuania. For a capital city, Vilnius isn't big and bustling, but it's got a cheery small-town charm. After Minsk, it was good to see some vibrant, decorated facades again. For some good examples, just … Continue reading Day 11: Lithuania, let the Baltics begin!

Cardinal welcomes launch of Scottish Churches web site.
Sacred Scotland - Web-site with world appeal
More than 1200 churches of every denomination over the whole of Scotland are
to feature on a new national web -site to be launched by church leaders on
December 10th in Edinburgh.
The project, the most comprehensive of its kind ever undertaken in Scotland,
will be in place for the start of the Year of Homecoming 2009 and is the
work of Scotland's Churches Scheme with funding support from Historic
Scotland and the Church of Scotland.
Every church in the Scheme will have its own detailed entry which can
include updated information on events, special activities and services.
There will be links to individual church web-sites and to national heritage
and visitor sites.
The web- site has been designed and delivered by Greenparka- Graphic
Partners Ltd of Edinburgh for the Scheme, which was set up fifteen years ago
to promote visitor welcome in church buildings and assist congregations to
become more of a focus in their own communities.
The Scheme works across all traditions and, uniquely, has a network of local
representatives in every area providing advice and assistance .
On December 10, at the official launch at Scotland's Storytelling Centre,
the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, The Rt Rev
David Lunan, Cardinal Keith O'Brien of the Roman Catholic Church and the
Most Rev Idris Jones, Primus of the Scottish Episcopal Church will be
principal guests with representatives from every denomination. Government
Ministers and MSPs will also be present.
Director of SCS, Dr Brian Fraser, said that already over a million people
visit Scotland's religious sites annually and the growth worldwide of
"spiritual tourism" means the services of the Scheme are now in even greater
The Scheme's guide book with full information on member churches has existed
since the Scheme began and further publications are planned,
" The Scheme has reached an exciting point in its development," Dr Fraser
says. " In addition to the comprehensive web -site we will be producing,
with Saint Andrew Press, a series of regional guides to our places of
Responding to the launch, Cardinal Keith O'Brien said;
I am delighted that the Catholic Church has been able to participate so
fully in the Scottish Churches Scheme over the past decade and a half. Many
people at this present time and in the years which lie ahead will have the
opportunity of seeing something of the roots of the Christian faith in our
country through buildings large and small of all our denominations. I am
sure that the new national website will assist the endeavours of all
involved in propagating news of our church buildings which reveal the story
of our faith .
The first three of these, Sacred South West Scotland, Sacred Edinburgh and
Sacred Fife and Forth Valley are due out in the Spring and follow Sacred
Highlands which was published to great acclaim to coincide with the Year of
Highland Culture.
For further information please contact: Dr Brian Fraser on 01355 302416 or
07710 480875
You are invited to attend the event on Wednesday 10 December -- 5pm in
the Scottish Storytelling Centre, 43-45 High St Edinburgh.

Having moved elegantly up the social ladder during her lifetime, from a council flat in Southall to luncheons at Windsor Castle with the Queen, Carole Middleton is an expert in handling the most potentially awkward social situations.
The Duchess of Cambridge's mother, who was an air stewardess when flying was still fashionable, is now giving others the chance to prove their qualities as a hostess. She and her husband, Michael Middleton, have bought the rights to merchandise based on the Channel 4 show Come Dine with Me.
In the programme, members of the public from different ends of the social spectrum compete to host the most successful dinner party. The winner of the competition, which is often painful to watch and sometimes amusing, receives £1,000.
The Middletons, who entertained the Duke of Cambridge at their house in Berkshire on Christmas Day, are selling the products through Party Pieces, their mail-order party paraphernalia company.
They include a Come Dine with Me "showdown pack", priced at £8.99, and place cards and badges, at £3.99 for eight. Their daughter Pippa has promoted the products in the online magazine of which she is editor, Party Times.
"If you've watched Come Dine with Me and thought, 'I can do better', or if you simply want to show off your culinary skills, team our Come Dine with Me kits with our stylish tableware and your dinner party will be sure to receive 10s all round," the company says on its website.
"Bring out this sophisticated party range for special occasions that require the wow factor. We want you to feel the sense of pulling out Grandma's finest gold-plated china for a special party … without the need to worry about chipping the china!"
A spokesman for Channel 4 tells Mandrake that "all the products are approved".

BOSTON — With the recession, most people are going out to eat less these days. But that doesn't seem to be the case for many political leaders who are finding another way to pick up the tab. The I-Team reviewed dozens of campaign expense reports over the past year, and found what critics believe to be loose interpretations of the state's campaign finance laws.
Take House Speaker Robert DeLeo, for example. The I-Team found he used his campaign funds to buy countless dinners for fellow legislators and staff members. He bought a gift certificate for Senate President Therese Murray. He even tapped his campaign accounts to buy a wedding present for a State House worker. Expenses like this added up to more than $22,000.
Pam Wilmot of Common Cause, a group trying to raise the ethical bar on Beacon Hill, said "We believe that the kinds of expenditures that should be allowed really should relate to the campaign, directly and substantially."
The current state law states campaign funds are meant "for the enhancement of the political future of the candidate . . . so long as such expenditure is not primarily for the candidate's or any other person's personal use. . . "
Speaker DeLeo wouldn't talk on camera about his expenses, but his campaign gave the I-Team the following statement: "All expenditures for the committee were spent on items that are well within established guidelines. As a leader in the current effort to reform our ethics laws, Speaker DeLeo is open to considering changing any guidelines that might need updating."
When asked if she thinks the current laws get violated and the definition stretched, Wilmot said yes. "There have certainly been instances where people have reimbursed themselves for personal expenses, paid for virtually every meal they have ever had out."
She added that it can appear "you are getting perks for being in office, like fancy dinners that you might not otherwise have, and you have this little slush fund to use."
The I-Team found dozens of Beacon Hill politicians using their campaign funds this way, including Governor Deval Patrick.
It seems that going to the Inaugural of his good friend President Obama put the governor in a festive mood. On the same day he threw parties at two swanky Washington D.C restaurants for staff and family members. The total bill was more that $5,500, and it was charged to his campaign.
Charlotte Golar Richie, an official with the Deval Patrick Committee, told the I-Team this was a special event and met the threshold of the campaign finance laws. "I think that we could probably debate this. I see this as absolutely appropriate in terms of a campaign expense."
Although Wilmot says the governor might not have violated campaign laws, she says these types of expenditures in general send the wrong message. "It's something that a public employee shouldn't be doing, and shouldn't be getting campaign contributions to do that."
Even legislators who aren't household names, like Representative Ron Mariano of Quincy, can rack up significant bills. He spent almost $4,000 just wining and dining fellow legislators last year. He told the I-Team he justified the expenses because of his interest in becoming Speaker of the House.
While many politicians apply the rules differently, voters say they seem pretty clear to them. When asked if a candidate should be able to use campaign money for personal use, one woman told us that this is where the line should be drawn.
State Senator James Eldridge of Acton agrees. He filed a campaign reform bill which would, among other things, redefine how campaign funds can be spent. "I think that practice has to end."
Wilmot says the danger of business as usual continuing is ". . . influence peddling. It's the appearance that decisions are not being made on their merits."
The I-Team also learned that this is based, more or less, on an honor system. No one investigates these receipts when they're filed. The Office of Campaign and Political Finance processes the filings, and might ask some questions if a worker happens to notice a dubious trend. If that happens, they might investigate, but it is not systematized because they have no investigators on staff.
Regulators can write a letter of reprimand if they find misuse of funds, and there are some penalties which can apply. Extreme cases are turned over the Attorney General's office.

The summer period was selected as odour emissions from finishing pigs was found to be highest during this period and is of great concern during public administration in the regulation of air pollutants.
To determine the odour emission from the nine most common categories of pig facilities in Denmark, 216 odour samples were collected. The nine categories of pig facilities were: dry sows kept in individual crates with partially slatted floors, dry sows kept loose, lactating sows kept in individual crates with partially or fully slatted floor, respectively, weaners kept in pens with partially or fully slatted floor, respectively, and finishers kept in pens with partially slatted, fully slatted or drained floor, respectively. Each category was represented by four intensive pig units, which all were mechanically ventilated. Odour samples were collected from each unit on three days with two samples per day. The samples were collected from the exhaust ventilation air in Tedlar® bags, and odour concentration was determined by an accredited odour laboratory. The ventilation rate of each house type was measured by a Fancom measuring fan.
The odour emission from dry sows did not differ significantly between the types of facility. This was also observed for weaners and therefore one number for odour emission is given for each of these stages of production. No difference was found between fully slatted floor and drained floor in finisher facilities. The odour emissions given in OUEs÷1 animal÷1 were 16 for dry sows, 72 for lactating sows with partially slatted floor, 100 for lactating sows with fully slatted floor, 7 for weaners, 19 for finishers with partially slatted floor and 29 for finishers with fully slatted or drained floor.
Furthermore, the ammonia concentration was measured in the exhaust ventilation air by Kitagawa Gas Detector Tubes at each odour sample. The ammonia emissions were 10.9, 13.4, 25.3, 0.1, 1.7, 4.6 and 6.2 g d÷1 animal÷1 for dry sows, lactating sows with partially slatted floor, lactating sows with fully slatted floor, weaners with partially slatted floor, weaners with fully slatted floor, finishers with partially slatted floor and finishers with fully slatted or drained floor.

Toshu randori in Tomiki aikido is a strange beast. I do not think it teaches us what we think it teaches us.
It seems at first glance, that toshu randori would be similar to sparring in karate. But it is not. Randori cannot be a contest of both folks attacking to see whose attacks succeed and whose fail because that tends to lead to clashes that are not what we're looking for in aikido.
Likewise, you can't have both guys playing the gentle, receiving, flowing role to see who has better skills at the soft aspects of the art - if both guys play that strategy then nobody does anything and we might as well sit down and share a spot of tea.
For us to practice aikido skills, we have to have an attacker - someone playing the role of uke so that the other guy can practice being tori. The tricky part about toshu randori is that both guys would like to be tori, so they have to either trick the other guy into being uke or find a time when he is in that mode.
To avoid the nobody-does-anything problem, Karl used to advise us "always attack." When in doubt, attack. But then to avoid the everybody-always-attacks sort of clash and to actually get some aikido done, one of the partners has to switch gears in mid-attack from attacking to flowing/blending/receiving mode.
That sounds like I'm saying someone has to choose to be uke and take a dive. I'm not. Funny thing is, the guy that is more adept at flipping the switch and can more smoothly and more completely take the role of receiver usually ends up being tori.
So, that is what I think toshu randori teaches us - it develops skill at identifying when your attack is going to be insufficient and switching to receiving mode so that you can ride the other guy's attack until it is your turn again for a more decisive attack.
Toshu randori is a mode-switching, switch-flipping practice.

It's all in the details. Not often seen, if you like the JCW style, you need to have this. It has a bit of checkered flag detail (black and white and red and black) and has the JCW logo. Perhaps the coolest thing is the calibration marks that surround the top of the ring. It's a simple change out, a little pin button push and the old ring pops off. Simply snap the new ring into place and you're done. Very cool. See the other JCW parts and accessories we offer and upgrade your MINI today!

Tips for Buying a Hot Tub
Hot tubs are a luxury that many feel is well worth the investment. It's a wonderful treat to come home from a hard day of work to relax in your hot tub, and it can be fun to entertain with friends. A hot tub is also an investment in your home because it can raise the resale value should you decide to relocate in the future. There are tubs of various shapes and sizes, as well as different kinds to meet each individual's needs. Here are some tips for buying a hot tub that may help you to find the one that's right for you.
Consider Your Space
The first thing you will want to do is to decide where you want to place your hot tub. This will help you to determine the size tub you need. The majority of buyers choose to put their tub outside on a patio or deck. The small percentage who opt for indoor use usually go with the master suite, basement or sunroom. You'll want to measure the area, allowing extra space for steps and for tub entry. If installing your tub inside, be sure the space you choose has adequate ventilation for steam. You also need to make sure there is an electrical outlet nearby, preferably 220v.
Do Your Research
A hot tub is quite the financial investment. Cost will depend on various features and should not be the only determining factor in your buying decision. Besides comparing price, look into the dealer you ultimate choose. Ask for referrals and inquire about what is included in the price, such as delivery and installation. You also want to research the monthly cost of operation for the tub you choose so there are no surprises when your utility bill arrives. In addition, think carefully about how your tub will be used. If you plan to entertain others, you'll want a larger tub than if you only want a hot tub for personal use.
These are some basic tips for buying a hot tub. A hot tub can truly be an enjoyable addition to your home. Taking the time for some planning and research will help to ensure you choose the best one for your home and lifestyle.

Having a sacred practice every morning and every evening grows our soul lives into a beautiful garden. The Spanish poet Antonio Machado asked: "What have you done with the garden that was entrusted to you?" We must be willing to ask ourselves this very important question. What have we done with the garden that was entrusted to us? Are you willing to fiercely protect this precious garden? What are you willing to sacrifice in order to more fully tend this garden?
Devotion to a daily practice is one of the most essential qualities in cultivating a soul life as a fully adult man. This means putting in garden time: tilling, watering, weeding, loving, even singing to your garden. This is truly living an artful, soulful life.
What does it mean to be a man with a daily sacred practice?
It could mean creating "bookends on the day." That is, beginning the day in the morning hours in silence and prayer, attuning to the dreamtime. Then very slowly moving into a writing practice from that dreamstream. Ideally, this is followed by a walk in the canyons. This is Richard's morning practice. In this morning practice, he is mining the dream world. As Jung says, it is, "dreaming the dream onward." The silence, the prayer time, the dreamstream, the writing practice, and the walking in wilderness cultivate an ongoing intimacy with the soul life.
It could mean walking into the back yard, saying a prayer of devotion, greeting the trees and other plants, saying hello to the birds, acknowledging ancestors from all the species, attuning to all the senses, and walking barefoot on the earth, reciting a prayer of reverence. Then, once inside again, meditating for ten minutes. This is Tom's morning practice.
The morning practice becomes a sacred refuge, a home for the soul, and an invocation for the day.
In the evening, before bedtime, we pause in silence and prayer once again, reflect on the day, giving gratitude for what has unfolded that day, asking for blessing for the night. This is the other bookend.
The space between the morning and evening practice—the work day—becomes a ritual space between morning invocation and evening gratitude.
We only get so many days here. So whatever your practice is, step up and begin to listen your soul into life, your life!
What have you done with the garden that was entrusted to you?
The wind, one brilliant day, called
to my soul with an odor of jasmine.
"In return for the odor of my jasmine,
I'd like all the odor of your roses."
"I have no roses; all the flowers
in my garden are dead."
"Well then, I'll take the withered petals
and the yellow leaves and the waters of the fountain."
The wind left. And I wept. And I said to myself:
"What have you done with the garden that was entrusted to you?"
Antonio Machado

The RAW Artist Collective is back with its September edition of the collaborative monthly showcase this Thursday, September 12, this time entitled "Translations." Taking place once again at the Eiffel Society on St. Charles Avenue, RAW will present two dozen New Orleans artists in a myriad of mediums from painting and textiles to photography, music and dance.
RAW:natural born artists (www.rawartists.org) is an international, independent arts organization that presents underground talent to the public through art showcases. In New Orleans every month, the collective's curators hand-select and feature about 25 local, up-and-coming artists in the categories of fashion, accessories, hair, makeup, film, visual art, photography, performing art, and music. Each collaborative event includes music performances, fashion shows, performing artists, a giant visual art gallery, a DJ, a host, and lots more. The monthly showcases take place simultaneously in multiple cities across the country often on the same day. Each featured artist is profiled on RAW's international website as well.
This month, the RAW crew selected one of OffBeat's own contributing photographers, Willow Haley, as a featured rising lens maven. Haley will present selected works as "Willow's World" on Thursday evening. A preview of her work samplings can be viewed on the RAW Artists website here.
Of being selected by RAW:NOLA to show this month and on her inspirations as a photographer in New Orleans, Willow says:
"Though I only moved here a few years ago, New Orleans became home the first time I discovered marble statues in the cramped alley three blocks from my apartment; they stand a very dignified guard over nothing at all. New Orleans is terrifying and exhilarating, dangerous and delicate by turns. It smells like fish and garbage and sugar and history, and I wouldn't dare imagine it any other way. There's pretty much nothing I enjoy more than wandering around NOLA with my camera – I could spend a lifetime chronicling this city. With any luck, that's exactly what I'll do.
I came across OffBeat Magazine in a hotel lobby within days of moving here, and it quickly became an invaluable guide. I started shooting for OffBeat a little over a year ago, and I love how it gives me the opportunity to cover events and musicians that I already enjoy, but – much more importantly – it continues to introduce me to aspects of the city that I would probably never have discovered on my own.
Honestly speaking, my website (www.willowsworldphoto.com) is a little bipolar – I have been a wedding and event photographer for many years, and though I absolutely love what I do, my Louisiana photos are starting to overrun the site. My contribution to RAW primarily focuses on New Orleans (though it incorporates some of my wanderings into southern wildlife preserves) – the specific contributions are available at www.willowsworldphoto.com/Other/RawNewOrleans."
Willow will share the walls of the unique music, cuisine and art house that is Eiffel Society with 24 other local artists starting at 7 p.m. tonight, where tickets are $10 in advance or $15 at the door. Live performances from Chard Gonzalez, Luxley, Kr3wcial and DJ Dxxxy are the musical highlights, hosted by Matthew Irimpen.

Muslims and Everyday Life in China's World City

New Books in East Asian StudiesNew Books in Islamic StudiesNew Books in Peoples & PlacesNew Books in ReligionNew Books in Religion & FaithNew Books Network September 20, 2013 Kristian Petersen
What does the everyday experience of Muslim minorities look like? We have often heard about what Muslims deal with in the West. But what about Muslim minorities in the East? This was one of the questions Paul O'Connor, professor in the Anthropology department at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, explores in the cosmopolitan city of Hong Kong. In Islam in Hong Kong: Muslims and Everyday Life in China's World City (Hong Kong University Press, 2012), O'Connor provides an ethnography of everyday life for the various Muslim communities in this modern city. He outlines institutions and organizations in the religious landscape of permanent Muslim minority communities. He explores the meaning of various spaces in the urban environment, such as home, school, mosque, and public spaces like malls or the Chungking Mansions. He also examines the dynamics of food and language in shaping everyday practices and relationships. In our conversation we discuss changes occurring after the end of colonial power, multilingual opportunities, halal food, religious and secular education, racism, Indonesian foreign domestic workers, Muslim youth use of urban public and online spaces, Muslim minority experiences in East and West, and everyday hybridity.

Age-appropriate chores for young children (and older children) are so important – with or without a chore chart! They help raise children that work hard and are not spoiled.
As Lythcott-Haims said: "By making them do chores — taking out the garbage, doing their own laundry — they realize I have to do the work of life in order to be part of life. It's not just about me and what I need in this moment.
If kids aren't doing the dishes, it means someone else is doing that for them, and so they're absolved of not only the work but of learning that work has to be done and that each one of us must contribute for the of the whole."
When everyone pitches in and does their part, they add their contributions to the family. It is a life skill that they will never lose (and you can teach it without using a hard-to-manage chore chart).
Kids Who Do Chores Grow Up To Be More Successful & Happier Adults
Do If you really want your kids to grow up to be successful, happy, and responsible adults? Give them Chores. Science proves it's the key!
In the longest-running study in history, the Harvard Grant study set out to determine: "DOES DOING A CHORE REALLY BENEFIT A CHILD?" The answer was yes. The study proves that kids benefit from chores.
This study started in 1938 and has continued this day.
A study that has spanned more than 80 years has to be taken seriously, right? The researches of the study found that people need to have two things in their lives to be successful and happy as adults:
"And what's the best way to develop work ethic in young people? Based on the experiences of the 724 high-achievers who were part of the study (including people like future-President Kennedy and Ben Bradlee, the Watergate-era editor of The Washington Post) there's a consensus.
A "pitch-in" mindset
"[The study] found that professional success in life, which is what we want for our kids … comes from having done chores as a kid," says Julie Lythcott-Haims, in her 20XX TED talk.
"The earlier you started, the better," Lythcott-Haims continued. (You can see her whole TED talk here.) "[A] roll-up-your-sleeves- and-pitch-in mindset, a mindset that says, there's some unpleasant work, someone's got to do it, it might as well be me … that that's what gets you ahead in the workplace." -Bill Murphy Jr, Inc.com
The High-Achievers all had a "pitch-in" mindset
The best way to teach children to have a good work ethic is to teach them to do chores, and expect that they complete them well.
Another study, by the University of Minnesota research team, spent over twenty years studying the best predictor of adult success. They also found that it was based on chores.
More specifically, they found that if they had begun doing chores at an early age… as young as 3 or 4, they were the most successful. Those children had learned about work ethic at a young age.
Remember… It's never too late to start.
Children need responsibility and these Age-Appropriate chores for kids by age are great for teaching responsibility & hard work.
While I gave up on our chore chart for kids, I found a solution that is so much better!
Why Do Kids Need To Help Out by Doing A chore (or several)?
- They help kids feel needed.
- They give them a feeling of importance.
- They help children learn responsibility
- They teach independence.
- They create a work ethic in our children that will help build that character that we want them to have.
- Helps to cut back on entitlement.
- Family chores help kids learn to work together.
- Children learn to help out the family, leaving more time to PLAY as a family. If your children learn to help now, you will have children that will be able to work later, allowing them the ability to work hard and keep a job or work hard to keep their marriage strong.
As hard as it is, do not do everything for your children! Let them do what they can. Remember the quote: fish for me & feed me for a day…. teach me to fish & feed me for a lifetime.
Children need to be taught how to do the chore first.
Before I begin with our list of age-appropriate chores for children, you need to know that your children were not born knowing how to do these tasks. You must walk them through it, teach them how you want it done.
Young children will be watching you in order to learn how to do the tasks correctly, but your older children may attempt it on their own.
I always suggest walking them through the household tasks before expecting them to do it well on their own. Do this with each chore until you have gone through them all (just do one or two a day).
Do I need a Chore Chart?
I gave up on chore charts a long time ago. Why? It is because I found chore charts for kids were more work than they were helpful. I had tried chore apps that let kids earn points, we tried a chore pad, we tried assigning chores by days of the week, etc…
When we were using a chore chart, I felt like I was constantly trying to keep rotating them, etc… I had tried finding great ideas on blog posts and in books, but nothing seemed to be what I was looking for.
Finally, one day I tossed our chore chart, chore chart templates, chore chart printable, and chore chart ideas. I made these chore cards instead and I'll never go back to another chore chart again. The Chore Cards that we made were my best idea to date (I hope that doesn't sound braggy… it' just works so well!) and I've NEVER looked back.
How do the chore cards work better than a chore chart?
Our kids do a chore (or several) in exchange for screentime (and even if you don't use the screen-time part, the chore cards alone are a life-changer!) The job listed on the card are household tasks or outdoor tasks that need to be done.
NOTE: In our house, if they do not want screen time, they still need to help out. They can use their screen time minutes for something else (whatever you decide).
Swap Chore for Screen Time Cards
How do the Cards work in place of a chore chart?
The cards are cut up and placed in a basket or jar.
The basket or jar is then placed somewhere so the kids can easily reach it (we keep ours in the pantry). When it is time to help out, they grab the basket themselves & bring it to the table. They close their eyes, reach in and pick from the basket. It is such a simple way to give out children's chores & to maintain a routine.
Chore Amount for each age group:
This is split into different kid chores by age
- The 3 and 4-year-old will pick out one chore.
- A 5-6-year-old will pick out two cards
- A 7-8-year-old would pick out two to three cards
- Ages 9 & above get three cards from the basket & some few more difficult ones
Chore Ideas for tween & teens: Age Appropriate Chore List for 9 years to 12 years
I have our older sons pick several chore cards, as they are much older. You can also keep a basket for their chore cards, separate from the younger children.
I often hear the question: Do you have a chore list that 12-Year-old can follow? Do you have a chore list for what a 13-year-old be doing? What tasks and jobs should a 14-year-old be doing?
My Answer: Pretty much any chore, as long as they are responsible enough to do it safely. At this age, a child can handle doing the more difficult tasks and they deserve the confidence from you to try. Be sure to give them rules and show them exactly how to do it.
Examples include:
- Cleaning the garage
- Being assigned a bathroom to take care of
- Clean & detail vehicles inside & out
- Mowing the lawn (to be honest, our sons love to cut the grass)
- Clean glass items that may be too fragile for younger children
- Take the dog on a walk
- Scrubbing windows or floors
- Washing the car
- Yardwork
- Ironing Clothes
- Cooking breakfast, making lunch, helping with dinner
- Setting the table without being reminded.
- Help a younger sibling with something.
- Babysitting a younger sibling.
- Changing their sheets
- Washing (or at least folding) laundry
- Do something to help you while they are learning the important skills to become an adult. (Example: making the grocery list for the week in order to learn to budget & plan.)
Does a daily responsibility count as a chore for kids?
In our house, our kids have daily responsibilities that are not "a chore".
Examples of responsibilities include:
- Make bed
- Clean up after eating
- Put dirty clothes in the hamper
- Put clean clothes away
- Unload the dishwasher as a team
- Get dressed and brush your teeth without being asked.
- Keep your shoes in the shoe basket.
Then, they have extra chores that they can pick from the basket to earn Screen Time.
How Often Should Kids Do A Chore?
In our house, the kids' responsibilities occur daily. However, if our kids want screentime, they will also have to find the time to do the task on the card to earn the screentime minutes.
This usually means that our kids are doing extra tasks to earn screentime daily (even if they save time for the weekend)
You can pick how often they do their chore(s): daily chore cards or weekends only? Maybe you choose for your children to or maybe they get more in the summer when they are out of school, etc…
You need to do whatever fits with you, your schedule & what you want for your family.
Remember, as I stated above, "make your bed", "clean your room" and "empty the dishwasher" are not considered to a "CHORE" in our house.
They are daily responsibilities. They are not on this list, because they are habits. We do them daily & they just help to keep the house running smoothly.

Kids Chore Examples:
- Clean the shutters behind the kitchen table (their food gets on these from their sticky hands!) 🙂
- Clean out everything UNDER your bed.
- Take sheets off of the bed (for younger kids) weekly
- Take sheets off and replace with clean sheets (older kids) weekly
- Do your laundry (older kids)
- Take your dirty clothes to the laundry room (younger kids)
- Wipe bathroom sink and vanity in the main bathroom & their bathroom.
- Clear & clean the table after dinner
- Sweep hallway upstairs with broom & dustpan
- Put away ALL shoes in the garage by the door (we have 3 spots for shoes – they each have their own baskets at these places, so its easy to do & takes a second to put them away)
- Clean the outside of the toilet (bottom too) in those same bathrooms.
- Sweep the kitchen floors
- Sweep the hallway upstairs
- Clean out the van (bring in all garbage, coats, shoes…) – I do this same chore on 3 cards, so they could even both get them & do it together. It's a big job.
- Empty all garbage in the bathrooms and their bedroom into one big garbage bag (getting garbage from all cans)
- Bring the garbage can up from the street after the garbage truck comes (it might be heavy to take it down while it is filled, but even our four-year-old can bring it up for us when it is empty… and we have a steep driveway).
- Clean the steps with a broom and then a damp rag (wooden steps). If you have carpet- have them use a damp sponge to get the dirt or pet hair if you have a pet. Have them use a small vacuum if you have one (the tiny kind for steps & small areas)
- Pick up everything on pantry floor to keep the pantry organized (Some of our organized art supplies are in there, so coloring books and crayons end up on the floors if we don't stay on top of cleaning it.)
- Sweep the front porch
- Sweep the back porch
- Dust furniture in the room that mom or dad pick (they use a sock on their hands)
- Pick up toys (even if you didn't make the mess!)
- Organize the mudroom bench (see make a mudroom bench to see how we made it) – they hang up coats, put shoes in the right baskets, hang up their backpacks under the correct name…
I made this chart for you.
Age Appropriate Chore Ideas for young children
Younger kids tasks are a little difficult, due to a lack of development in certain skills. However, they can still help out around the house. Here is some information that may help:
For a 3-year-old… When our 3-year old would pull out a chore card, but I would make up one since he couldn't read it. I would say something like "Please pick up the blankets and pillows that are on the floor, and put them away." or "Can you put the ice cream away after I scoop it for dessert?" Something easy and safe that he can do without help.
Remember, children like being feeling like they are contributing to the family. They like to feel like they have helped to keep everything going. They also learn quickly that if they help out, everyone has more time to play and relax together.
I hope that helped you to create some ideas for jobs for your kids. 🙂 I would LOVE to hear what jobs you have your children helping within your home! I am always revisiting our cards and editing them to their ages.

Oh I am going to come back to this when I create my kids list.
Me too, I like how she put all of these together. It's amazing how industrious little children can be at a young age. In fact, my younger children are more motivated and seem to enjoy "helping" Mommy more often than my older children…When do they lose that helpfulness?
Great ideas! I know I need to get my 3 year old involved more. Thanks for sharing. I'd like to invite you to our Organize Me! Sizzlin' Summer Link Up Party at Get Your Crap Together!
This is great! My kids are 3 and 5, I am such a slacker when it comes to daily chore for them, although I do make them make their beds, clear the table, and pick up toys. I love the chore in a basket method, thanks for sharing!
Bugs and Beans
Great idea! I like this better than a chart! My girls are awesome at folding clothes! I have also taught my four oldest kids to wash dishes. Sweeping the driveway is another one the kids help with.
I can't wait to try this method instead of a chart!
Thanks for the idea:)
Great article thanks! I am changing up chores and the way we do things for my son now that he is not in Kindergarten anymore. Now what about allowances? Do you give those and how much?
I'm 11 and this does sound fun.
Great tips! My boys (4 & 6) have chores:
Feed dog twice a day – water too!
Recycling weekly
Laundry ( my 6 year old does this – brings the basket to the laundry room, puts in washer, adds soap, turns it on (with my help), switches it over to dryer, brings basket back up, helps fold and puts it away for him and his brother.
They also put groceries away, clear the table, sweep the floors, dust, and water the plants. I think I will a few more after reading this!
My two year old daughter takes her dishes (she has plastic plates, cups, bowls ect) and puts them away in her own drawer. She also washes her table after meals and helps sweep, wipe counters/ cupboards ect. She loves to clean! If she spills she says "wash" and grabs a washcloth or paper towel and cleans it up 🙂
I have a 15mo and a 2.5yo. Plus my brother-in-law lives in our house. He's 16yo with a learning disorder so on some things he's about 6yo and others he is 16yo. When did you start giving you baby chores?
The 16yo helps with laundry & unloads the dishwasher. The 2.5yo puts his dishes in the sink and helps me put the soap (finish powerball or gel pack) in the dishwasher. He also helps me when I switch the laundry by pushing the wet clothes into the dryer or bringing me dirty clothes from the basket. What are some age appropriate chores I could give the baby to get him involved in helping?
I love this! I have tried to do chores a few different ways before, including the framed chart with a dry erase maker. It ended up becoming just another coloring board for the kids! I love that they feel some atoning by being able to pick their own chores and so I laughed when you said you make up the chore for your 3yo! I have one who is 3 and duh!… She can't read lol I will def be trying this method! Thanks.
Do you mind if I share this on my blog? ( linked to this article)
This is a great idea! Honestly, I have a hard time keeping up with a chore chart for my kids. This will be a very happy medium!
I love this idea. Right now I have our chores listed on a poster board and they choose the easiest one and do it over and over… This would help get some of the other chores done too! I offer 25 cents a completed chore. If the chore wasn't completed correctly and they have to go back and re-do it, they only get 10 cents. And if I have to make them go back a 3rd time, then they just did the chore for free! I also charge 25 cents for lying (because they just wasted my valuable time) so they have to work hard save up money! lol
I have folding and putting away a basket of towels listed as a money making chore for my 7 yr old. And both my kiddos (4 and 7) wipe down the kitchen cabinets (the ones they can reach are the dirtiest ones!!). They also wipe down base boards and wood furniture with an old rag that I spray with pledge 🙂 They are quite helpful when guests are coming and I have a ton of catch up cleaning to do!!
Cute…. and very helpful(i ended up here from another post but happen to read some of the comments and I have a suggestion (I did this when my kids were tiny (they are now almost 13 & almost 11)I did have chores for them but since the found read I would include a picture/clipart of the chore I wanted done (it worked….. mostly) it helped them to see it (it was written as well, for when they learned to read)
Just my 2cents.
AWESOME ideas…… been reading quite a few thanks
I think this is great, but apart from asking my children to take their plates to the sink after dinner they do very little in the way of chores, practically nothing. I would love to introduce this, but am a little scared if I'm honest at dealing with the reactions. My son is 9 and has adhd, my daughter is 7 and I have a 2 year old girl.
Like the different perspective on chore charts. Thanks for sharing. Pinned.
Great idea's and tips. Thanks for linking up to Sweet and Savoury Sunday, stop by and link up again. Have a great day!!
These are great ideas to get the little ones involved in chores!
Thank you for stopping by the Thoughtful Spot Weekly Blog Hop this week. We hope to see you drop by our neck of the woods next week!
When my daughter was young she was reponsible for making her own bed. Being only three or four years old, she could not do it very neatly. I would walk by her room and straighten it out. One day she told me " you know Mom, when you fix my bed it makes me feel like I'm not doing a good job." she was doing her best and I was telling her that wasn't good enough. I never fixed her bed again.
I have all our chores drawn as well–written on Popsicle sticks and some of them have a circled T on them (like folding laundry) if someone draws one of these sticks, they also draw a green stick that has a number between 10 and 30 on it (in increments of five). All the sticks are placed in a large soup can that has a smaller can glued inside it. Finished chores go in the little can so they don't get drawn again. It makes chores a game (thank you, Ms Poppins) even for me!
Hi Becky, I have a very strong-willed 2.5 year old boy (oldest of two) who is definitely ready and capable enough to start chores. How do I even get him to start? Sometimes he cleans up willingly. Many times he just flat out says no or ignores me.if I don't do it it'll just sit around. I don't know how to transition him into doing chores consistently without any fuss… To just make it "something you do"
Great idea. Really like the cheat-sheet of age appropriate chores.
my son is 2 1/2. He helps feed his fish, pick up laundry and put it in the hamper, helps put the wash in and out of the washer (front loader) he picks up his toys, he 'sweeps' up with a hand broom, he puts dishes in the sink, heck, he will even carry mommy and daddy's to the sink if we don't get on it when he thinks we should, had to curb him from taking plates with food still in it! He throws out garbage when asked, picks up his bathroom toys. Some of these things he just naturally wanted to do, and we encouraged him and help him, they toys we make a game out of it. Lots of cheering. Now if potty training would just go smoother…
Question. What did you do when they wouldn't do their chores? And, during school days when do you have them do the chores, before or after school?
My 15 month helps put toys away, well we help her. She thinks shes oretty cleaver lol
I just found your site and I love it!
How do your children help unload the dishwasher? Most of the things I put in our dishwasher are stored in the upper cabinets: cups, plates, and tupperware.
Also, do you keep a stool near the sink so they can prerinse their dishes before putting them in the dishwasher?
Dear Becky,
I'd LOVE to be only a little bit as organized as you are!
Please tell me: how do you structure your family days: WHEN do you let your kids do their chores?
Lots Greetings from Switzerland,
What time do you have them pick out of the basket during the day. We are having trouble even finishing homework in time for bed let alone adding 2 chores. I really want to get them more involved but it just seems like there isn't enough time. We haven't even added activities yet. We have a 9, 7, and 3 year old. Thanks!!
For the most part I agree with everything you have said. Until I came to the chart that went by age grouping. Now as as a previous child of parents who followed your ideology, I spent the majority of my childhood being free housecleaning with my two brothers. We had a nanny as my parents were military officer and wife and had a reputation to display that perfect home. As a child counselor and special ed elementary school teacher, I can assure you that the amount of work you have these children doing is tantamount to abuse of the child labor laws and the bottom line is while I approve of designated childhood chores, if adults want to bring in children into the world, it is their responsibility to realize the increase in laundry, dishes, room cleaning, the household chores need to be devised between all people living in the home, parents are required to do the ironing, lawn mowing, and specific intrinsic chores that are deemed dangerous to children under certain ages by state (you mention none of this) and the bottom line is with the increase in school homework and your lists of chores, where on the Paget growth chart does manual labor fall into normal childhood growth? I can appreciate teaching responsibility to children as they grow, I also appreciate well mannered children, but what you profess as well developed childhood growth with appropriate responsibility needs to be reassessed with the demands on children outside the home beginning with school (pre-K, on), church (Wednesday night 6-8:15) after school (sports), etc. At what point do you feel a child has the time and the right to just be a child?
Well we have 2 girls 10 & 12 yr old girls. We needs age appropriate chores for them .They haven't had any up till now. WE know that it's our own fault. Also we are aware that it's not going to be easy .I mean yes we try to get them to clean up after themselves and do the basics but not without a yelling and struggling match for way longer than I care to admit. And even then I break and just end up doing it that way I know it gets done and done right ! I'm a fanatic about cleanliness and keeping a clean house and organization .Clutter freaks me out .I can't handle things left out randomly around the house. I need help with having them pitch in and start contributing towards the household chores. How do I change there routine now and incorporate the chores that I have been doing for them for yrs now ??
I love the chores you have come up with. I will be using your list this summer! There are a couple of chores that are good for the 4 and up age that my children do. We will have them wipe down the doors and door handles in the house. There are always spots on them from their sticky/ dirty fingers. Also we have the kids put out food and water for our dog. Thank you again for the list. I am looking forward in getting your blog emails.
I started the cotton ball jar with my kids last week! Amazing results all! They really want to go to reptile land and are working hard to make that happen! Great idea to work with all my kids age 2, 3, and 10! They all love it!!
My 3 year old was really the only one that is difficult but he is doing great with this and love rewarding the others who always listen anyway!!
I absolutely love the reward jar idea, gives them something to visualize their progress for the week! The chart is amazing and the difference between habits and chores is a great distinction. Thank you!

Fergie unleashes Pitbull on "Feel Alive"
Stacy Fergie Ferguson and Miami rapper Pitbull prepare a new club smash! "Feel Alive" is featured on the soundtrack to this summer's 3D dance movie, "Step Up Revolution"
While Fergie's loud vocals dominate the chorus singing "Wake me up in the morning/ Slow me down in the evening/ Give me whatever you want to make me feel alive", Pitbull slides in sneaky, paying tribute to The Black Eyed Peas track "Boom Boom Pow" by spilling out Fergie's lines "I'm so 3000 and great/ They so 2000 and hate/ They want me to fall and fail/ H-h-hurry up and wait". The track also features DJ Poet, who bumps up the beat with a dirty sound.
Listen to Fergie feat Pitbull & DJ Poet - Feel Alive
As for her first headlining track released since her last solo album "The Dutchess" (2006), Fergie announces that she has other plans in the future apart from singing. She tells MTV in a report: "I'm more focusing on my other things, like my shoe line, I'm designing for that. I'm really getting to work from home, and I'm loving it". Although not quite keen on performing any longer, Fergie mentions that she's still caught up in the music: "I'm always writing, but there's no current plans for a solo record or a Black Eyed Peas record. I was on tour for eight years. My brain's not really there right now"
What do youclubbers think about the mash-up?

The trichoscopy report consists of four parts:
The report is based on the evaluation of a set of videodermoscopic images of the scalp. These images are subject to an automatic computerized image analysis. Advanced pattern recognition algorithms allow to automatically detect and precisely measure hair, hair follicles and other important objects visible in the images. Detailed data on hair and hair follicles are then used to calculate key statistical factors of the trichoscopic method. Algorithms and computation methods used by TrichoLAB are continuously improved and the experience gained with each performed test allow to enhance the testing precision.
Trichoscopy allows to objectively assess the examined structures. Thanks to this, treatment results may be assessed by comparing significant hair parameters obtained during subsequent tests.
Derived from x70 images the best estimate of hair density normalized to 1 square centimeter. The ratio of values in different areas has also diagnostic meaning.
Hair shafts identified on x70 images are subject to diameter measurement using proprietary TrichoLAB algorithms with unprecedented precision of one micron. Hair dyeing does not influence the result. Statistical distribution of hair diameter indicates the size of anisotrichosis.
Hair agregated into hair units enables to find the ratio of single versus multihair units. It also indicates the condition of arrector pili muscle (APM).
The number of empty follicles in various areas and different size of its 'yellow dots' manifestation are very good indicators to distinguish DLE, AA or AGA.
The Trichoscopy Report contains second opinion from the doctors specialized in hair and scalp disorders. It is based both on statistics and qualitative assessment.

It's hard to think in Either-Or Deductive,
while speaking and acting in Both-And Inductive.
For example,
If my Brother is kind and loving
(and he usually is),
and really not all that judgmental and condemning
with his wife and kids especially fond,
and the grandkids,
and if he understands himself
as a BornAgain EnvangelicalOrthodox Christian,
which also means an Economic and Politically Patriotic Conservative,
especially among rural MidWestern USA proletariat rootedness,
he might become concerned, on occasion,
with conserving the economy
of my Too-Heterodoxi-talkillogical,
and not HeteroSexual enough, (0)-Core OverSoul–
presumably nonexisting Holy Spirit/Body of Christ.
When we try to discuss his EitherWin Salvation
or Lose my Condemned Soul to Hell,
it becomes problematic.
When I respond that I share the generosity of his loving concern
about my future Hellish decomposition and timeless dissonance,
absence of ecosystemic-healthy identity through bicameral-consciousness,
and I am also concerned about our economic and political Hellish degenerative pathology right today,
anti-intelligent anti-ecology,
too-Yang LeftBrain Dominant enculturation for too long,
Too Patriarchal-Capitalist-Yes
but Matriarchal Cooperativist-No,
instead of BothAnd, obviously bilaterally self-regenerative!
The Hell of Body of WesternCapitalist Christic Holy YangInvasions-Yes!
but CoArising Body of Eastern nondualist Wisdom-Teleology–don't even speak of it…makes no sense…does not compute…too heady…not healthy-not regenerative empowering,
using Either/Or Oppositional-Deductive Dominant WinLose Gaming Assumptions.
Yet the evidence of cooperative-regenerative evolution
is ecological-balancing–Yes (polypathic positive)
the too-competitive-survivalist Win v Lose
degenerative devolving disinvestment–Huh?
cognitive/affective dissonance, head/heart-chakra distance, from:

Personally, and famiially,
and even NorthWestern extended EarthTribally,
I am part of our continuously rising and falling
of Western CalvinistChristian-RomanCatholic-MohammedIslamic-ConservativeJudaism Patriarchal Fundamentalist Colonizing, Missionizing,
Persuading and Terrorizing and Aggressively PoweringOvering AlienRadicalism.
My own development, and my Brother's,
suggest, sometimes unkindly nihilistic and ego-slavishly,
that we can have both our SoulConserving Strength

This emerging CoOperative WinWin Game Theory
of ReGenerative AND DeGenerative Everything

following cooperative ecological-synergetic golden rules,
carries too much densely cooperative multicultural,

His EitherOr cognitive-affective bilateral dissonance
assumes I must be,
at best,
too polypathically eccentric,
unbalanced, I suppose…
not deductively-centered enough,
not really quite rational

or, I don't know,
not really quite lined up just too left
and not right enough.
I miss the ocean

They more fluidly speak my Red/Blue multi-octaving language

My fundamentally nondual EitherOr Body of Patriarchal Christ
hears my RightBrain Elder call

reweave health in EcoCooperative Climate Flow,

of an enculturation
that has fed us nurturing love,
in both thought and feeling,
which, had we not, bothLeft AndRight,
included that which has been true and good for all EarthTribe,
I could not have become who I am today,
including the parts I'm not so proud of.
And yet,
he also cannot know
in his deepest ecological bicamerality,
that I BOTH cherish his Body of Christ Tradition
AND the bilateral flow of history's organic integrity
from which Earth's ecosystems have regenerated positive Yang

It's hard to think in EitherOr LeftBrain Dominant
when speaking and acting in BothAnd Co-Inductive Integrity
is so much more reweaving health

Before Ke$ha had a "Crazy Beautiful Life," she had a "Simple Life."
The music star's docuseries, "My Crazy Beautiful Life," debuts on MTV on Tuesday, 4/23 at 11 PM. But this isn't the first time Ke$ha has been on reality television.
In 2005, she and her family were featured on "The Simple Life" with stars Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie. Back then, the teen was living with her mother and brother in Nashville. The socialites came to stay with them and played matchmaker for her mom.
"They chose us because we're the most eccentric family in all of Nashville," Ke$ha has said.
See Ke$ha on "The Simple Life":
After the show, she became friends with Hilton ... briefly. "I ended up kicking it with [Paris] for a minute," she explained. "To be frank, I went to her house party and didn't talk to anybody and ended up dancing around by myself. Then I got kicked out for being a bit too rowdy. I'm just not a swanky b----. I'm the antithesis of her."
Filmed over two years, "My Crazy Beautiful Life" gives viewers an intimate look at Ke$ha's life on and off the road. The series follows the singer around the world as she tours, promotes her music, and of course, gets into Ke$ha-style situations.
Like getting, uh, intimate with a cannoli:

What is a Countertenor, and what do they sing? Opera? Broadway? American Songbook? Pop? When the countertenor is David Sabella, the answer is "all of the above."

we already know this gorgeous little creature has several functions:
– firstly and most importantly, it gets us all excited when we see one. it makes us stop whatever it was we where doing (even if that something was fun), run over and grab a rod and do what's natural for us fly fishers: have more fun than what normal people consider as fun.
– it also means that the environment where these wee things came from is in pretty good shape. as an example, the bug above was born right next to my house on the Canal du Midi, a green, warm and rather slimy-looking waterway that's been enjoying a rather drastic decrease in pollutants of all kinds in recent years.
as well as the all-time standard chironomids one would expect to see in waters like this, there's also been a great increase of caddis and damsels with all of them keeping the house martins, swifts and of course fish busy and happy and not to get all mushy, but that all makes me happy too.
but there's a lot more to these bugs, here's some maybe not-so-commonly known facts about our little friends. let's start with the out's, the kind of info that takes up unnecessary brain disk-space while remaining amusing.
(no self-respecting fly fisher would be caught dead playing a word game that doesn't accept real and important words so, this shouldn't be a problem)
out of the 160 or so different types of caenidae, some of them have interesting monikers such as:
Caenis amica well known for being the friendliest of the species.
Caenis bella for having won a beauty contest when he was oversees.
Caenis catherinae because it's the sweetest of the family thus named after my Mémé Catherine.
Caenis cornuta because she either has a horn or her boyfriend is cheating on her.
Caenis hilaris this one's good at telling jokes.
Caenis latipennis your guess is as good as mine…
Caenis moe from the Three Stooges.
Caenis oculta named after Abby the Goth Girl.
and Caenis robusta for its insatiable desire for strong, bittery coffee.
to conclude the pointless part of this post here are caenis anagrams.
(those are really boring words. best to stick to the original as much as possible… )
and now for the in, a little something all fishers can really benefit from: how to pronounce what's probably the most ill-pronounced bug on the planet !
and if that doesn't make sense, it's SeeNiss and not KayNiss !
a big thanks to buddy, all-round cool guy, fellow Barrio Fly Lines Pro-Team member and language stickler/Lineslinger Will Shaw for reminding me of my own pronunciation deficiencies. yes, i used to be a Kaynisser…
for more pointless caenissy info click either text block. enjoy !
