The kids have returned to school and the house is quiet once again, well for 6 hours of the day anyway. I have been attempting to focus on organizing my house over the past 2 weeks that the kids have been in school. I have worked on my kitchen cupboards, linen closets, laundry room.
I also made up a home management binder that is separated into categories such as, emergency information, daily planner,calender of events, cleaning ( which has the kids cleaning chores where they get daily stickers to earn their 10$ allowance), budget,bill payment (this has a calender that has date when bills are due for quick reference) and meal planning ( this has the weekly menu and the shopping list and special meal plans for holidays and parties).
I have also set up a lunch meal plan for school and set up a container in the fridge that has quick grab things like fruit and cheese and celery and carrot sticks etc (thank you weightwacherwannabe for the wonderful idea) for making lunch packing and planning so much easier.
Today I am going to work on the daily cleaning schedule so that the other chores don't slack after the kids do their chores. It is hard for me to come home after working a 12 hour day and still have housework to so as well as get the kids to do their chores therefore, I feel if everything is laid out it will be easier for these chores to become a habit for everyone involved and make my life a little easier and in the process help me find me in a peaceful clutter free organized environment !!
