Let’s talk ORGANIZATION!
I want to be the first to tell you with four kids and a somewhat traveling husband I do not have my stuff together all the time, but I can share what works for me.
{Planner on the right is a Happy Planner from Wal-Mart and who knew it has a cult following? There are accessories for your accessories associated with that planner.}
*First up-I used to have just one planner that held everything. Not anymore! This year, I’m trying to have one work planner {as well as Google calendar} AND a family planner.
In my work planner-I keep all of my important work dates, balance due dates, my schedule to call clients, etc.
In my family planner, I have all practices written down, baseball games, soccer games, etc. Now you wanna know when my planner gets all wonky? When the baseball league decides to switch a game or change up our schedule. That’s when I can really mess things up. I try to remember to go change it in my planner immediately, but sometimes that just doesn’t happen. The more I have it written down, the more it helps me remember. 🙂
*Get help! I’m always texting other mamas about practice, games, etc. And other mamas are asking me about reminders as well. We’re all in this together, friends! Find your tribes of school moms, activity moms, and sports’ moms…you need them all in your life!
*At any given moment my closets are probably a mess and my pantry needs to be reorganized but my calendar and organization game is strong. With a family of six, we all work SO MUCH BETTER if I have our lives scheduled out. It doesn’t take much, just a few minutes a week to get us all organized and it helps TREMENDOUSLY!
What about YOUR FAMILY?! How do you stay organized during your busy seasons? Please share! what you do!
