Scheduling For The Family

The modern family is a busy one! Afterschool activities, and soccer games & ballet recitals on weekends it seems like every minute of the day is filled with something. There is hope, you can balance it all with a little organization and planning.

Family Calendars: Having one calendar with every family members activities on it can seem overwhelming, but it is a sure way to avoid double booking. It is also a way to schedule in much needed family time. I think the Skylight Smart Calendar is a great tool for busy families!

Chore Chart: A chore chart makes it so everyone has a share in keeping up with daily tasks, it creates a sense of belonging and ownership for each member. It also saves time! When the load is shared rather than just falling on one person everyone can benefit.

Meal Planning: Deciding what is going to be for dinner each evening is exhausting, I hate it too! By setting aside some time during your week you can save time and money that will make that extra time spent planning worth it in the long run. Try creating a recipe index of some family favorites that you can pull from each week.
