I love this for sooooo many reasons:
1.  She’s a great role-model to her kids.
2.  Helps her stay motivated throughout the day on some of her short-term and long-term goals.
3.  She incorporated some of the things she has to do, with some of the things she wants to do.
4.  She wins prizes too!!

    My friend and also your friend, Christie Payne, first introduced this to us at a mops meeting. I LOVE it. Years later I still remembered it, texted her, got your link, and now I wrote my own blog post about it and am sharing! I’m new to this so I don’t have much traffic, but I wanted to let you know anyways.
    Thanks so much,

    […] Begin and track progress! (simple chart, tally, pretend money, tokens, Wall of Fame, tickets, Mom Money)  A simple chart will work or a large poster, just make sure you’re tracking the growth.  Want a challenge for yourself?  Check out Mom Points! […]
