When I ask the children to do anything around the house I’m sometimes met with a no. This could be anything from washing to recycling. However, if I say ‘who wants to go round the back of the house and wheel round the green bin?’ I will get two very willing volunteers. All of a sudden it’s the most exciting job there is to do.
The cardboard that’s been sitting in the utility room all week is in the bin within minutes and then there’s a fight about who’s going to wheel the bin back.

Do you dress up any household chores for the children?
About Sandra Madeira
I am a working mum and entrepreneur with a passion for writing, coaching, mentoring and inspiring others. Subjects I tend to blog about are life skills, parenting, decluttering, worklife balance, career etc.
I’ve been on a decluttering mission for years creating space in my house, garden and mind. In 2020 I challenged myself to declutter every day for a whole year and write about it daily.
After that success I took on a challenge to change my career from accountant to life coach, and in early 2024 set up my own company.
I continue to keep up with the decluttering, and now write daily about my home life and coaching business.
Have a good day!
Sandra
