It's really hard to find the right words to start out this week's post for Mommy Mondays so I am just going to dive right in and say it...Aggghhhhh!!!!
Before school started I had these preconceived notions of quiet days at home getting tons and TONS of work done (both around the house and for the business) and well, that just has not been the case at all- so what gives???
From the new morning routine, the car line, traffic, back home, cleaning, breakfast, tending to baby girl, checking email, editing, following up with brides, working on new marketing campaigns, laundry, dishes, squeezing in a workout, phone calls, more emails, blog posts, story time, diaper changes, album designs etc...and that's just the first half of the day- phew...by early afternoon I was on auto pilot but without actually making any headway or progress on my to do list, much less keeping up with the kiddos PTA meetings and TBall practices and then the question comes...what's for dinner (uh-oh!)...
So today Adam and I sat down and created a weekly menu- yes, VICTORY!!! After searching online for a simple template I decided to make my own and am so proud of how it turned out. A small win for today, oh but what a fantastic start to the week!
Tomorrow I will tackle the "Brain" binder (details to come on that fun project) and the ever changing family schedule as TBall season kicks off, Early Holiday Sessions begin to book and Special Fall projects take us on the road....whoo- hooo, it's never a dull moment and though at times it may seem like life is a bit of a whirlwind I am so thankful for each and every moment :)
Meal planning has saved me!! It keeps me organized, and helps me think I have a handle on things! :) Plus, we are eating healthier!
