Planning is the Key to organization

Planning is the Key to organization

I posted a question on the blog and facebook page, what would you like to see on the blog?  I got answers of dinner ideas and cleaning tips organizing, but first you need to be able organize.  Dinner ideas for the busy mom are easy for me( got three kids) but do you want easy or good?  I am going to start with some helpful hints on dinner ideas, can't use them all in the first go.  The first hint I can give you is plan, I know that sounds funny but its true when you know what your making, you have won half the battle.  The other half is the kids, how can you make dinner when you have kids under your feet?  Once again easy plan, plan and plan some more.  Think of making like getting ready to go somewhere ,  you need to make sure you have everything before you can leave, same goes for dinner.  you plan outing around nap and play time, do the same with dinner when the kids go for a nap wash and peel cut and put in water.  Then when they are older when they are playing they don't always want to with you, so there is a good time to go.  Now all the prep work is done.  Time to cook.   Highchairs are good for more then eating in, they are great for colouring, painting and playing with blocks.  They are at eye level so you can see where they are and they can see you so they spend more time playing then crying.  Or there are there swings or jumpers.  Most of they time they just want to see and talk to you and we all now woman can do more then one thing at once, cook and talk oh I think we can do that.  There are so many more tips and hints for topic but I cant use them all at once.

So far all the work on the kitchen is starting to pay off, thanks to a great husband.  Got the dishwasher gone, cupboards washed and the knobs cleaned.  Here are some pictures please don't mind the mess.

Here is a before

Here is a half done after.  Slowly everything is moving to where I need it to be.


Have a great day everyone!
