Life Planner

part of my summer mission to get organized was to find a planner I could use daily and would work for me. Here it is my friends my Life Planner from Erin Condren!Now my teacher planner has a sister and they are the tools I am using this school year to stay organized and on top of things that matter to me.

I had trouble picking a cover but I love this one! It list my favorite things! I have already penciled in some appts and important things!

What I did this week

I am a person who does better with positive reinforcement. As I stated in a previous post I am on a mission this summer to get my house really clean and organized. As an update I have been doing really well! The problem comes when Gish comes home from work and I try to share everything I have done. He typically smiles and says wow babe that looks great. But somehow he seems to lack the enthusiasm I require to feel like he gets it. I mean taking care of 3 kids , this week and last week 4, and getting organized is HUGE! So I decided instead of being bummed when he doesn't recognize my efforts and accomplishments I am going to do it myself! So I hope to give myself a pat on the back every Friday or Saturday of what I did that got my closer to reaching my goal and being able to say Mission Accomplished at the end of the summer! Now some weeks this maybe a short list and all that it might state is I showered everyday but if your a mom like me you know that taking a shower is a BIG DEAL And since I am probably the only one who reads this I won't be boring anyone or calling my Mom brag that I cleaned my fridge.

This week I...

1. Cleaned the Fridge (as in I took out every shelf and drawer)
2. Washed out comforters
3. Began the process of cleaning our oven
4. Decluttered our hutch
5. Cleaned the kids shoe shelf
6. Decluttered junk draw number 1
7. Trimmed the front bushes
8. Cleaned and decluttered my nightstand
9. Clipped and organized coupons
10. Organized the kids craft bin

In addition I also cooked all our preplanned dinners, made lunches at home, took care of a 3 year old little boy and baked red velvet white chocolate chip cookies.
