In response to a wonderful idea my cousin Kathryn and Trevor (Kathryn) had, I'm starting this on my blog. I want all your secrets. Well, so does my cousin and I'm sure many others. I particularly would love to know how you keep a clean house with a 2 yr old who is trashing it as quickly as you clean it up! I'll take cooking, cleaning, organizing...whatever. Post your great idea on your blog and ask your readers to do the same! Think of all the great ideas you'll learn! Here's mine...
Between Marshall's therapy appointments, doctor visits, and playgroup, Brian's school schedule, and Nathan's extra-curricular activities in addition to school, I find it essential that I plan ahead. I had Brian get me a dry-erase Calendar and I keep track of our schedules on there. Everyone has a different color marker so we know who the appointment is for. I also find that the crockpot is my best friend. I need more recipes but I use it on my busiest days. I plan a menu for 2 weeks and go shopping for the ingredients. That way, I usually don't need to shop more than once every 2 weeks.
Fess up everyone! I need secrets!
