With the kids back in school now, it’s time for mom to get everyone organized and back into the normal routine of the school year.
A great way to get organized for the new year is to make one central calendar that will have all of your school related events and activities on it.
I would recommend posting the calendar on your fridge, on a central bulletin board or somewhere that the whole family can see and access it.

After the emotional day of sending my baby off to the all day Pre-K at the big school, I knew I had to have a special place in my Household Planner for my kids’ teacher’s contact information. (Just in case I have to check in on my little man:) I also included a section for coaches and other instructors information that we may need throughout the year!
Now all of these important school related phone numbers are on one easy-to-locate page in my Household Planner.

Clothing our kids these days can get to be a pretty expensive task! You can easily spend your whole month’s grocery budget on a couple of stylish outfits! I’m not saying that I have done this and I hope you have not either, but when money is tight you have to be creative.
Stocking up on clothing throughout the year is a great way to spread out the cost and you will also be able to find some fabulous deals!
My favorite ways to get great prices on kids clothes is shopping the End of Season Clearance Sales, eBay and Garage Sales!

This always seems to be the biggest challenge for me during summer vacation…keeping the house in order. I don’t even mean it has to be clean, I mean keeping the toys off the floor, keeping the shoes on the shoe shelf, keeping dishes in the kitchen and keeping toys, shoes and dishes out of the bathroom! If you have children, you know what I meanJ
It’s impossible to follow them around all day long getting after them to pick up after themselves, plus that just makes mom extra irritated and stressed!
In order for your house to maintain some order this summer, you have got to have a game plan that you can stick to. (more…)

One thing that seems to happen at our house when the school aged kids are home for the summer is that they get bored and restless. They are used to having a structured day at school and then summer vacation comes and they break free from that structure, but they truly don’t know what to do with themselves! The kids still need that structure, maybe not as rigid, but they do need some type of daily and weekly schedule to follow. Keeping them busy is key! (more…)
