Summer List Update

I promised an update and here it is:

The summer list has worked beautifully in our home! I printed one copy, put it in a picture frame, and my daughter writes on it with a dry erase marker each day. I'm paying her $1 per day for a completed list.

My daughter loves having a purpose and the tasks are open-ended enough that she has choice.  We've even gotten creative this week because she's been at pony camp.  We're counting pony rides as exercise, tie-dying as a craft, etc. 

I love the summer list!  It's kept my house neater, my daughter engaged, and I know we are avoiding the summer slide.

I'm now wondering about a summer list for myself ...
