Welcome to the Club! There is this club called motherhood. Before you join the club, you are told only the barest of details. This clubs stands as a secret sorority of women to all young girls. WANTED: 2 More of Me I have an organizational website filled with lists and planning pages. While I use these lists myself and feel ever so grateful to have them available to me, what I really need is two more of myself. Using Lists to Prepare for Back to School Children are not the only ones involved in preparing for back to school. It is not simply a matter of kissing your child on the first morning of school and sending him off with a smile and your best wishes. There is a good deal more involved, and keeping track of it all is vital to a successful start to the school year. Learning how to compose and utilize a few well-designed lists can be a way to make sense of the chaos that tends to accompany the beginning of the school year. Using Lists to Plan for a Birthday I almost always have three or four ongoing lists attached to my clipboard, but when I have a birthday coming up in my family, the number of lists tends to more than double. In this article, you'll find a list of the lists that I use to help me plan a birthday. Thinking Other Moms Homes Are Neater Than Yours Do you ever visit other moms’ homes and wonder how they keep it so neat? Do you ever sit around in your own home with toys strewn over the floor, laundry piles (both clean and dirty) beckoning for attention, and three meals worth of dishes stacked next to the sink and wonder why you are the only mom on the planet who cannot keep up with her home? If you answered yes to either of these questions, then you may be suffering from “TOMHANTY” Syndrome. They Do Grow Up So Fast On a particular day, I was struck with that phrase that I still manage to hear now and again, “They grow up so fast!” I watched my daughter, who is such a little lady at times, skipping from bush to bush picking “flowers” and enjoying being herself and free from rigidity of a desk. I wanted to grab her up and tell her that she must not leave this moment – this perfect moment of childhood. The Clipboard: The Many Uses for This Overlooked Tool A couple of years, I “rediscovered” the clipboard. That was the day my clipboard became my most indispensable tool. Currently my clipboard contains the stuff of my life. Check out this article to discover the possibilities. Preparing your Children for Back to School As the first day of school approaches, parents and children alike begin to run the gamut of emotions: excitement, fear, anticipation, anxiety. For those who will be experiencing a child’s very first day of school, you may feel torn between the joy of leading your child through a momentous milestone and the sadness of knowing that your child is taking yet another step out from under your influence and protection. Prepare Yourself Financially for Travel In our modern society, travel is no longer a luxury, but it is considered a necessary part of having a healthy and meaningful life. Anyone with a dream of seeing the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France or Machu Picchu in Peru can find a way to reach that destination if he or she plans well enough and long enough. Mrs. Jekyll and Mommy Hyde I was driving to a park on a gorgeous day with my toddler in the back. I could not resist the urge to call my husband, who was at work, to let him know how much I appreciated his sacrifice to our family so that I had the freedom to stay at home with our children. Regrettably, all too often, there is another kind of day: a day when I seem to wake up screaming and continue to be loud, irritable, impatient, and unsympathetic with my three cherubic little angels. Mother's Day Reflections Now that I am a mom, I get to enjoy Mother’s Day as the honoree. It is a day when I can truly reflect on how fortunate I am to be the mother of 3 beautiful, healthy children. They, in turn, make me feel like a Queen for a day. I wish I could say that I have always understood what an important day this is for moms. Moms Can Impact Their Environment I have always known that there are things that I can do to conserve natural resources. With 3 small children, it is not easy to look outside of my family’s health and needs to keep track of what the world may require. Recently, though, I have begun to feel the weight of personal responsibility. I can’t open a magazine or look at my computer without finding an article about how to “Green” my home or my life. So call it inspiration or just call it about time, I have finally begun to compile a list of ways that I can contribute to the preservation of our earth. Meal Planning and Dinnertime Preparation Streamlining the dinner process is a very desirable achievement for every family cook. Jennifer shows you ways that you can make meal planning easier, smoother, and quicker for next time. How to Make Party Planning a Little Easier Whether they are indoors or out, planned or surprise, fancy or fun, parties are a great way to celebrate a special event and connect with friends and family! Birthdays, bridal or baby showers, or neighborhood block parties are all opportunities that will put your party-throwing skills to the test, but all can run smoothly if you are prepared with budgets, lists, and timelines. How to Create a Party Planner Planning the perfect party can be an intimidating prospect. You can eliminate some of the fear and anxiety by taking some early steps to ensure you are ready and that the party recipient and guests have a wonderful time. Getting "It" Together: Lists Put Order in your World Lists are a powerful tool to getting and keeping your home and family in order. If you have ever experienced "Information Turmoil", then please find out what putting all of your mental debris down on paper can do for you. Get Motivated to Start a Hobby or Interest Club As human beings, we crave society with people who share common goals or interests. There is no need to be lonely when there are so many people in the world. One way to beat boredom and isolation is to start a club. Financing the Holidays The holiday season is a meaningful time. It possesses elements of a spiritual nature that can be as tangible as the wrapping paper and the pumpkin pie. When friends and family surround one, the month of December gives the power to believe in the kind of magic that exists not just in gifts and delicacies, but also in humanity. We feel thankful to be alive, grateful to be loved, and overwhelmed by the enormity of our to-do-list. Create Your Own Holiday Organizational Manual When my first child was born, I realized that I wanted to make each holiday memorable. I don’t mean grand and glorious (although that may naturally be part of the beautiful holiday season), but rich with family experiences and rituals. With each child, the holidays seem to get more and more complicated. Layers of tradition that I did not want to be forgotten made holiday organization all the more necessary. Count Your Blessings I was driving home from an exhausting morning of dropping kids off at school, running errands, and fulfilling appointments. I passed a marquee on my route that displayed the simple phrase, “Count Your Blessings.” This is a phrase that I have heard many times in my life, but for the first time, I focused on what the words actually mean. Clean Springing: Spring Cleaning Like You Mean It Something about the phrase “Spring Cleaning” doesn’t sit well with me. The concept is good and right. In spring, all of nature is waking up from its winter hibernation, shaking off the old, preparing for the new. It is natural for humans to feel an obligation or even a desire to do likewise. The word “Spring” is not the problem. Autumn Sensibilities I love fall. I love the month of October the best. Every October, I get energized when the chill in the air begins to penetrate my late-summer clothing. My chest tends to expand to near bursting when I drive on highway 196 to town and am assaulted by the bright reds, yellows, and oranges that flank the road. I want to soak it all in. I want to remember the feeling I get when I’ve raked a pile of leaves and my children charge at the pile like Linus with his “wet sucker”. Advent Activity Alternative December is a month like none other. Why not combine the beauty of an advent calendar with the desire to fill the holidays with all of the wonderful aspects of tradition and family (and skip the candy as well). A Tradition of Afternoon Tea I used to know it was 4 p.m. without even needing to look at a clock. Naps were over, children were whining for food and fighting with each other, and I was trying to make my way to the kitchen to begin dinner preparation. One day in November, when there was a perfect chill in the air and I was in no mood for the typical behaviors of the hour, I suggested on our walk home from the bus stop a hot cup of tea. A Penny Saved. . . I used to believe that this quote was about putting money into a savings account or other savings method so that my hard earned cash would earn interest. My alternate interpretation of this well-known quote has helped me save money and resources so that I can do my part to provide the necessities for my family in these times of increasing prices. A Birthday your Child Will Remember Eighteen years are usually all we have to unabashedly demonstrate to our children how much they mean to us. Though everyday should be an opportunity to love and appreciate them, birthdays give us license to truly make a child feel special. There are many ways to celebrate a child’s birthday. The important thing is to find the right combination to fit your child and your family. 100 Days to Christmas September 16 is exactly 100 days before Christmas. Not only are there presents to buy, gifts to wrap, cards to send, a party to plan, and a family meal to prepare, but there are other holidays and special occasions that demand action as well.
