      <title>Taking the &amp;quot;chore&amp;quot; out of chores</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.handipoints.com/&gt;&lt;img src="http://blog.famundo.com/files/hp.jpg" &gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;Here&amp;#8217;s a new free service that helps manage household chores and allowance, &lt;a href=http://www.handipoints.com/&gt;Handipoints&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;The way it works is that you create a list of chores that need to be done around the house (this can also include time spent reading, practicing an musical instrument) and assign points to each item. As kids complete the chores, they check them off and are given awarded points which accrue over a period of time. Kids can then redeem points towards a reward that is approved by parents.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;It looks pretty simple to use and is worth looking at. Let me know what you think.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
