So.…..here I am……at the start of a new week
and ready to plan and prepare for the coming days. My first task on a Sunday evening is to
update our family chalkboard. It’s an
essential chore that allows a chain of communication between my husband and I
and is an instant, visual reminder of plans for the week.
No longer do I hear the words “but you
didn’t write it down on the calendar!”
I write down all the kids’ plans like
clubs, pre-school days, play-dates etc.
I also plan and write down the meals that we’ll be having – this helps
to keep us on track with our spending and food budget. Lastly, I record my own appointments, so I
don’t have to constantly check my diary.
My chalkboard is amazing! Everyone who comes into the house instantly
comments on its usefulness and how super cute and cool it looks. I usually smile smugly and say….”my dad made
it for me!” That’s because he did – my
wonderful dad has magic hands and can make beautiful things out of wood.
Result = an organised, planned week and a
happy, prepared mummy. What more could
you want?!
