My husbands organization tip that he does is empty out all his pocket when he gets home so, things don’t end up in the laundry or all over the house.

My son goes through a lot of bibs in one day so, to keep track of them all, as soon as one is ready for the laundry, I put in a special mesh bag. Once I do laundry they are all together and the velcro on them doesn’t ruin any of the other clothing in the wash.

To keep my little guys toys organized, I have two baskets. Each day I bring out a different basket for him to play with so, he doesn’t get bored with his toys. Toys get put away each night and the other basket comes out.

I try to decide what I am going to make for dinner for the week and do one big shop a week rather than a million trips to the store.

Tip of the day….have multiple laundry baskets and train your family to put their dirty clothes in the correct basket. Less sorting on laundy day. We have one for darks, one for lights and one for dress clothes.

To prepare myself for the next day, I pick out my clothes and my little guys clothes the night before. I also go through the diaper bag and make sure everything needed is in there. I also pack his bag if he has swimming lessons or we are planning to go to the library. That way, we are a little more organized for the day ahead.

When it comes to be organized for shopping, I have a preprinted list of staples( like milk, eggs, fruit, dish soap, dog food ect) that I have taked to the fridge. When we get low on something, I circle it so I know when I get groceries what I need. I also have a few blank lines to add anything else that I may need. Works like a charm!!

To keep organized on what we spend on our little guy, we have a special account where we set aside money each pay cheque. When something big comes up like he needs a new car seat or we want to put him in swimming lessons, the money is there.

We are really making an effort to keep track of our finances so that we can budget properly when the little one arrives in a few months. Our method is to file receipts in individual envelopes that represent our expenses ie. Groceries, car, entertainment etc. At the end of the month, we go through our receipts and get a sense of what we actually spend on those things. It’s very eye opening and is helping us be more mindful.
