Category Archives: Surviving MotherhoodWith Ella in Preschool we are brushing up on our upper and lower case letter recognition and beginning to work on letter sounds in preparation for Kindergarten. So, I created this alphabet flashcards printable to be able to work on them with her at home.
My children are only 15 months apart in age. As you can probably tell when they were toddlers they had a very hard time sharing. I was at my wit’s end as they were fighting constantly over toys. I reached out for advice and the simplest solution helped to change it all. Today, I am sharing that advice for getting your kids to share.
I like to send a thank you note when we are gifted something. However, since my kiddos are limited to writing small sentences mama ends up doing most of the work. So, I came up with a solution in creating these printable thank you notes for kids. Download in The Archives at the bottom of the post.
As a busy Mom, making time for play is something that is necessary for me for it to actually happen. It is not in my DNA to procrastinate and put those things on the back burner to stop, get on the ground with my kids, and play. That’s not to say that I don’t spend hours upon hours with my kids every day. But I’m not talking about just being with them. I am talking about turning off the TV, putting away the phone, picking up a book, getting on the ground, coloring, participating in playing with the Play-Doh. That kind of play. My favorite way to do this is to try to get all of my tasks done while my kids are either at school or sleeping (I explain more about this HERE). And when they are home in the evenings…it’s family time. I am not perfect in completing this as folding that load of laundry or answering that phone call sometimes takes precedence. But, it’s really important for me to get this time in for me to feel balanced.
I created this free printable planner last year to work as a homekeeping notebook binder. It’s customizable so that you can personalize it to suit your needs and continue to use it year after year. * Use Adobe Reader ONLY to edit printables.

My day is filled with, most often, an entire page full of tasks in my planner. From household tasks like grocery shopping, laundry, making school lunches, and dinner to all of the tasks for my blogs, our family business, and side businesses my plate is most definitely full.
