Hello to all the beautiful busy Mummy's out there.Need help with organization to help your days run more smoothly? This is for you. I'm sharing all my tips and tricks that I've put into place since becoming A mum to a very energetic 2 year old shining star. Sometimes it's a struggle right? Being a Mum, wife, working a full time 9-5 as a Home Daycare Mum. And of course working on building a community for women. Can it be done? Yes it can!! With organization and Batch work you can make it work and be so more productive with your time and have more time with you.
I became A mum at 41, yep you read right. I'm totally OCD when it comes to routine, so when our little girl came into our life it was a huge change to revamp our routines and engage in the transitions that were taking place. But we did... I got myself pretty quickly into a groove that worked well right from the start. And it was a lot of simple little things we do to make life easier and have well rounded time management. Here are some of my tips and tricks that make our life easier and leave more time for me to do things that are really important to me ( Like what I"m doing right now, writing this for you!) You ready....Let's take a look.
NO 1.. At night before we go to bed once the dishwasher is finished we unstack and put away to save time in the morning.
NO 2. Make sure all lunches are ready to go for the next day. This is such a time saver not having to do early in the morning!. I make our shining stars sandwiches and left overs are in Lunchboxes for Trevor and I ready for the next day (he even has our coffee cups ready with coffee in to go!)
NO 3. I make sure all washing done that day is folded and put away. No stock piles in this house. OCD I know.....but believe me at night it's the last thing I feel like doing BUT...it feels sp much better when it's done and the next day less to worry about. I don't know about you but washing is endless in my house!! How about you?
NO 4. Pre plan or cook meals on the weekends. I hate thinking of what's for dinner!! it drives me crazy. I'm so super blessed to have an amazing Husband who loves to cook. But he drives me nuts when he never likes any of the meal ideas I think of. Mr Master chef has arrived lol. So I let him go (I don't complain that for sure )
NO 5. Being a home daycare mum I .like to make sure during the day I have all the art and craft out I need ready for the activity planned for the next day. And the floor is vacuumed and moped at the end of every day.
So there you have it beautiful Mummy's. Some very simple strategies to implement to make your life as a mum a whole lot easier. Now I not saying it's easy..HELL NO!!! once 7.30 comes and our shining star has been tucked into bed. I just want to flake out on my comfy chair! But there is something else I want to talk to you about. Listen to your body. When you feel your body saying I need a rest , or I need to go to bed Early tonight. Do it. Nurture and love our body. Our family needs us to be strong and healthy for us to ask for help if we need it. Never be afraid to ask for help. Look after you first to make sure you can be the best Mum and wife you can be.
