Have you ever wished you could
wave a magic wand and **POOF**
your housework was instantly done?
Why not? It happens all the time in fairy tales! Sometimes, there are even cute little animals that come and help with the housework, all the while singing and whistling as they work.
Cinderella has happy little blue birds make her bed every morning as she sings to them. Why are the little birds are so eager to do this for Cinderella without her even asking?
Even though Cinderella’s living quarters are humble to say the least. She takes pride in her little space and all the little helpers love her and want to help.
And then there is Snow White. She has all the furry animals in the forest helping her with housework!

Only In Our dreams!!! Right?
Dreaming doesn’t get the job done, but what if we hijacked our kid’s imaginations and used these fairy tales to inspire them to make housework fun?
I was inspired by this the other day, when after a day of swimming at my house, my daughter announced to her two girls (ages 6 & 10) that they were going home to play Cinderella.
Little did I know, this meant they were going home to do housework. 
I was impressed with how creative my daughter was when it came to getting her girls to help.
They each have their own designated chores while incorporating fairy tales to make it more fun.
I have to admit, even at my age, if I imagined little blue birds helping me make my bed, I just might smile while I am doing it!
So mix it up with your kids and activate their little imaginations,
by making housework a fun time.
