Obsessed

I have been obsessed with organizing my life in every detail!  Not sure why it has become such an obsession but I am loving it...  It all started with this Dinner Menu Board that Kacey made for me...  I loved the board and loved that I could just look at the dinner board and know exactly what I was going to make that night...  No thinking involved since every Friday I make a grocery list for the following week, I prepare all my meals, kids snacks and Jared's lunch...  Its been great and my family has had a cooked meal every night...

I then decided to make a chore chart, that way everyday I get all my cleaning done within 2 hours rather then spend half the day cleaning...  On my chore chart also has my to do list for that day!  It has simplified my life in so many ways...

Of course having a dinner menu and a chore chart weren't enough, I had to make a Play Date Schedule, so I can plan my weekly play dates with my awesome friends...  I love this board cause it has kept me busy and accountable to not be such a flake...  (Apparently I have been known to be very flaky in the past)

Last but not least, (At least for now) is my Monthly Budget Board!  I have so many automatic bills that come out of my checking account every month that it has been so hard balancing my Checking account...(Problem Solved)  I also love this board cause it keeps me from going on a spending spree and buying things that I don't need, yes I still have spending issues and my account sometimes gets into the negative but I am hoping with this new system, that my account will never again go into the negative again and Jared and I will actually start having a savings account for the future...   This System has also kept me accountable to how much money I actually spend and it has made me cut back a lot of my unnecessary spending...

And Just for Fun, I have made these cute dry erase boards for personal notes to Jared and a memo board for phone numbers or messages...

I also had to share with you this cool idea I got from (yes you guessed it my sister) she is such an inspiring mom and has all these awesome ideas...

Treycen's Snack Box

The purpose of this box is to teach Treycen how to eat throughout the day so he learns at a very young age to not over eat at meal times which is great considering 60% of children are obese, its really sad and I really want to teach Treycen that he can live a healthy lifestyle and still enjoy the finer foods in life..

 It's also there to help him be more independent, I can't tell you how many times I hear "Mom can you get me a snack or milk, etc"  He has his snack box that he has complete access too...  In his snack box he gets 5 snacks... I include a sweet snack such as cookies or a fruit snack, he also gets a fruit and a vegetable such as Baby Carrots, Grapes or Apples... I also put in a dairy product like string cheese or a yogurt and sometimes I will even add a small bag of chips or a juice box... 

I have locked the Pantry door so he cannot get anything out of the pantry, if its not in his Snack Box then he can not have it...  Surprisingly it has also helped me to not veg on junk, it does not take much work to open the pantry door but knowing that Treycen can't get into it makes me feel guilty so I try and stay out of it too.
(Practice what you preach, right)

Sorry for such a long post but I was feeling inspired and wanted to show you all these cool ideas...
