I've succumbed to the chore charts, and daily charts.  I, of course, used some of the free pieces and examples from bloggers:Susan Fitch, iHeart Organizing, Operation Organization by Heidi to assemble them in Adobe Illustrator for what would work best for us.
For the daily charts, I just have a visual to do list for school mornings and bedtimes.  We've ended up keeping this in the bathroom, since that's where my daughter needed it the most.
For her chore chart we have it set up by weeks for the month(-ish).  Basically she has the chores she probably needs to do everyday (like homework, and piano practice).  The rest of the days of the week have one or two chores for her to do on those days. She gets a sticker in the correlating box below for any completed.  I've added a months worth of rows beneath to keep track of.
I've actually been going by it as well for my bigger "mommy" chores.  They aren't too specific.  Her dusting chore can include wiping doors down with cleaning wipes.

Here is the AM/PM daily chart:

Here is the Weekly job chart:

Feel free to save for yourself.  I print them out on 8 1/2"x 11" paper.  I printed the AM/PM chart on glossy photo paper, since we're just using it for reference.  I use colored card stock for the weekly chore chart.  Eventually I might put them up in pretty (cheap) frames, but for now they're just taped to the wall.

Girl's Sundress from a Man's Button Up Shirt Tutorial

Change a man's button up shirt from...

I used a man's long sleeve button up shirt with 17" neck to make the sundress out of.
Pieces you'll need to make up this dress are:

A: Strap (2)
B: Top (4)
C: Skirt (2)
D: Ruffle (2)

The only part I needed a pattern for was the armholes on the top.

I used one of my daughters empire waist dresses to draw in the armholes on the rectangle for her top.

I drew the top pieces as rectangles, with the armholes and width copied from my daughter's dress. The height is whatever your preference; mine is 3".

Straps & Top
I used newspaper to make a simple pattern for the straps since they were just 4"x6.5".
Place it on the fabric where you can cut 2 at the same time, so they match exactly.
The top is the only piece with lining, so I needed 4.
I cut off the sleeves & cuffs of the shirt, so it would lay flat. Both sleeves are laid together so I could cut out all the pieces at once, and they would be more exact.

The Skirt is cut from the back of the shirt.  I cut it apart, then folded it in half to cut it evenly lengthwise.

I used my L-ruler to square up the corners, but you can just fold it horizontally to cut it down, so it's just smaller than the armholes.
    *Note: when I first sewed this together it was so long it came down to the floor, so I ended up cutting 4"         off the length.

The Ruffle I ended up cutting from the 2 front panels of the shirt, after the collar was cut off.
You can see I originally planned on using these for the straps and top pieces. Yay washable fabric markers!
I cut rectangles as wide and high as pieces would allow.  Just make sure it's wider than the skirt.

And now you have your summer dress!

And my 'lil Princess still fits in it!
