It can quickly feel unmanageable—and it often falls on me to keep us all in line. I’ve long been on the hunt for the perfect solution, and this notepad is the closest it gets. Instead, with a physical notepad, I’ve turned it into a part of our weekly routine. There’s something about sitting down together on a Sunday morning, looking at the week ahead, and writing it all out. Then, we tack it up onto the bulletin board in our kitchen, and it serves as our daily reference. When we’re really in a groove, a lot of it is just copying over the same information. Along with the daily breakdown, I’m also a huge fan of the notes section. There, I’ll highlight anything from meal plan ideas to random errands to anything that we need to keep in mind for the following week. Do things still fall through the cracks? Of course. Do we sometimes skip this part of the week entirely? Yes, especially if we go away for the weekend. But, now that the start of school is just a few weeks away, I can’t wait to get these kiddos back in their groove and get this notepad back into mine.
