I am asked this question all the time - how do you do it all? Well, I would be lying if I told you that my life is perfect and everything just runs so smoothly. Currently, I have a four year old girl screaming at the top of her lungs that she is not tired and does not need a nap. I also have a giant pile of laundry that I need to fold and put away. But those things aside, I LOVE organization! My friends make fun of me for my organized pantry! I seriously have a problem! Here are a few things that I do every Sunday after church to help our week run smoothly! 1. Lay out clothes for the week. I don't know about you, but I can't always think straight in the morning. And I certainly don't move at a turbo speed either! That's why the kids always help me lay out their clothes for the week! This helps the kids be independent in the morning. It also really helps things run smoothly! 2. Plan your meals for the week. If I don't have a game plan for my week, our family meals are not nearly as healthy as they should be because I am scrambling!! So on Sunday, I figure out what needs to be used up for our meals for the week. Also.... I don't cook on Fridays! TOO TIRED!!! 3. Get on the same page as your spouse/significant other/roommate etc.... Briton and I use the app Cozi! This is a great app! We just use the free version, but I hear the paid version is pretty amazing too! The free version works great for us though! We both have the app on our phones. When one of us adds an event, it shows up on both of our calendars. I also love it for the shopping list feature. When I add something to the list, Briton also sees it on his phone too! This has really helped!! 4. Drink tons of coffee! I recently became a coffee drinker and I can say with confidence, I feel better when that delicious liquid streams down my throat! I recently bought this coffee maker on Amazon, and I love that I can schedule when our coffee is made in the morning. I grind the beans the night before, pour in the water, and hit the timer button! At 6:35 a.m. every morning, a fresh batch is brewed! Our mornings run smoother for sure! I hope this helps your weeks run smoother! What are some things you and your family do? Drop them in the comments below!
