Happy Happy Wednesday friends!!
Alright, so let’s get to it! On the second Wednesday of every month, I link up with Shay from MixandMatchMama and Erika from ALittleBitofEverything. Today, we are talking about how we juggle family schedules.
We juggle our schedules a few different ways. So, I’m very visual and a little set in my ways.
Hence, my hanging calendar. I know, I know very vintage. 😉 It hangs on the back of our pantry door, and I try to add everything on it for the month, so we all know what’s going on and if I need to get Addison picked up from school or need help getting her to dance or whatever.
This is an older picture because Erin Condren and I are in a little bit of a tiff. I ordered my Life Planner & Coiled Notebook on July 21st. My order stated that it would arrive between August 3rd-8th. Yesterday was the 11th, and I still hadn’t heard anything, and it was still listed as Processing.
I hopped on the chat with them, which I’m sure Judy was AI. Judy said it was slightly delayed and hopefully would hear something by Friday. She expedited my shipping to overnight. So, I hope they redeem themselves.
Typically, I use my planner for all my school and family events/meetings/appointments. I’ve been a little lost because I’m having to use a paper calendar at work until it comes in. It’s driving me crazy. But hopefully I will have my new planner soon!
Have you guys seen these Skylight Calendars? They’re all over social media and Amazon. I see so many busy families using these, and it looks great. I will note that it’s definitely pricey, but all my friends say that it’s definitely worth it!
Do you guys have one?
I know most of you are a lot different in that you may have a larger family to try to juggle. These are the things that work for me and our family dynamic.
A big thing that helps us is communicating and writing it down. Often we are so busy and on the run it’s hard to talk it out. I try to take time at the beginning of the week/month to make sure I have all things covered for the week.
My Mom helps us out a lot. I have meetings every week on Thursday and then sometimes other days, so she is usually able to help with Addison. If not, Joey can try to get off work to get her.
Addison starts dance on Thursdays next week, and my friend Shannon is going to help with getting Addison there since Sutton has to be there at the same time.
Am I missing something that’s a life changer?
I am excited to read your posts!! I probably need some help.
