Top Picks for Planners for Moms Who Want to Get Organized

Top Picks for Planners for Moms Who Want to Get Organized

One of my yearly goals is to improve my time management skills.  I’ve tried to find the best planner for moms who want to get organized in the past. It’s something that I constantly and continually work on because it’s something I’ve always struggled with. Organization, in general, can be one of my biggest enemies. And now as Squeaker gets older and as I continue to make a transition to being a work at home mom; organization is more of a need than ever. I’m also a bit of a planner addict but terrible at using them consistently. I love to look at them and I love the concept. I may have finally found my ideal planner and once I’ve had some time to really explore it,…

The Importance of Me Time for Work at Home Moms

The Importance of Me Time for Work at Home Moms

As moms we take on a lot of roles and we tend to wear a lot of hats.  Our job is 24/7 all year long.  When we then add on additional roles as work at home moms, or homeschooling moms? We take on more and more.  We really don’t always value ourselves or value what we do. Sometimes it’s difficult for us to even recognize just how important we are.  Do you regularly practice self-care? And for that matter, when was the last time that you did something that was just for you? You absolutely should take the time to do something for yourself. It is more than okay to be a little selfish. Me time for moms is needed. In fact, if you keep…

Christmas Themed Prewriting and Letter Hunt for Toddlers

We are getting really excited about Christmas! Squeaker turned 3 on December 5th but we’ve been in Christmas mode for awhile now. This is the first year that she’s really starting to understand what’s going on. We are using this time to learn more about Jesus Christ as well as Santa Claus.

Christmas Prewriting and Letter Recognition Sheets for Toddlers We still haven’t settled into a…
