How to Organize Your Day with a Toddler

April 8, 2020 by Kelly Dedeaux

How to Organize Your Day with a Toddler

The benefits of staying home with your kids are many, but that doesn’t mean everything always goes smoothly – especially when you have a toddler running around. In fact, caring for a toddler all day makes it difficult to get anything else done around the home. So, how do you care for a toddler and do all the other things you have to take care at home without running yourself ragged? Here’s some tips on How to Organize Your Day with a Toddler!

Moms and dads that stay home with their kids have a wonderful opportunity to spend precious time with their little ones that many parents who work outside of the home don’t get. You get to be there for all of the little things that you may otherwise miss. It’s certainly not easy, though, so organizing your day well can make a huge difference in how exhausted you end up when bedtime hits.

Here’s how to organize your day with a toddler:

  • Start with a simple, flexible schedule. A schedule will help you remember all the important things that you need to get done throughout the day so you can stay on track. By keeping it flexible, you won’t feel overwhelmed when something unexpected happens or when your toddler is simply having a bad day (or you are, because we KNOW that happens) and you don’t get through the list.
  • Set aside some special time just for your toddler. Use this time to play games, go outside and have fun with your toddler. This will ensure that you do spend quality time with her instead of running back and forth trying to play while taking care of other tasks. We’re all familiar with mom guilt, so this will help with that, as well.
  • Provide a safe environment with age appropriate activities to keep him/her busy while you take care of business. The activities will keep them occupied and happy while you work. You’ll also get more done because you know they’re in a safe environment where you don’t have to watch her every second (but please do watch as is age appropriate!)
  • Plan your meals in advance and eat around the same time every day. It’ll help you establish a daily routine that your kids learn to expect, in addition to helping you stay organized.

These simple tips are easy to implement into your daily schedule and they can help you keep your day organized even with a demanding toddler running around.

Ultimate Time Saver App for Busy Parents

April 8, 2020 by Kelly Dedeaux

Ultimate Time Saver App for Busy Parents

Thank you Medici for sponsoring this post. Medici connects doctors and patients in an easy to use app!

Who else is struggling to get through back to school season? There’s so much to take care of, and then once school starts we’re back to insane schedules between classes, homework, sports, and activities! Phew, it can be exhausting, but at least now we can save quite a bit of stress, time AND money with this Ultimate time Saver App for Busy Parents — Medici! It’s not your ordinary app, and let me tell you why…

First of all, Medici is an app you can download to your phone for free, and then connect with doctors, psychiatrists or even the vet without having to make an extra trip. That means skipping the waiting room the next time you or your kiddos need to see a doctor, so you can spend more time with your family. It can be super stressful for parents who are already busy with all life’s demands to try to fit one more thing into their schedule, especially when the office hours aren’t always when we can fit it in! With Medici, you can text, voice or video call with a doctor (or vet) over a secure HIPAA-compliant platform.

It’s easy for doctors to sign up, so if your preferred one isn’t already on Medici (there’s a lot on there) it’s not difficult to find the type you need. One of my favorite things about this is that when my kids are feeling miserable, I don’t have to load them into the car for a drive only to sit waiting at the office. Now they can rest at home while we figure things out with their pediatrician over Medici. That means they’re more comfortable, I can get them the help they need without the hassle, and the faster they can get feeling better and back to play!

If medicine or a more advanced look is needed, you can get ePrescriptions, eReferrals (for those time a specialist may be needed) and even Lab Results right there in the app. Nice and convenient, right? This will be handy for that once a year when at least a few in our family get strep, because our doctor knows this happens and now we don’t have to drive all the way to the office when the second or third person gets it!

Whether you’re a busy parent, pet parent or even just a couple (because we know us parents can get sick just as easy — but who has time for that?), Medici has you covered from pediatrician to vet to OBGYN, so you can have all of your family’s doctors just a text away!

This is seriously the ultimate time-saver app, because most busy parents know all too well that having to switch up schedules and driving to the doctor’s office can really throw a wrench in our already full day. Nobody likes it when someone in the family gets sick, but at least Medici helps take some of the stress and hassle (and even cost!) away with their convenient, easy-to-use app. If you’re looking to conveniently get your basic healthcare needs met without having to change your schedule, I encourage you to download Medici and try it out for yourself!

As you probably noticed, several of the printables have both a BLANK and a PREFILLED option – we wanted to be the most help to the most people, so included the prefilled for those that really like having the most common things already there for them. However, we know many will vary in what they’d put, so made sure a blank form was still included. Like we said at the beginning of this post, we’ve been collecting input, ideas, and requests for a LONG time to see what type of printables would really be the most helpful for busy families – we tried to include as much as possible, and any that seemed to be requested by enough people to be seen as a common need.

 Get the Whole Pack & Bonus Items!

Did you see the two BONUS items, too?! We’re including our super popular ‘Unofficial’ Disney Autograph & Activity Book (our most popular printable EVER) as well as our extremely helpful (and probably our second most time-consuming project we’ve ever done) 52 Weeks of Meal Plans! That’s a whole year of breakfast, lunch & dinner planned out – including the budget-friendly recipes. I told you I wanted this pack to be as helpful as possible for fellow busy parents, so felt that it wouldn’t be complete without these two great resources! And since we sell those two items individually for $2 each, this is a killer value. I want this to help as many as possible (though I do still have to support my family, of course, otherwise I could list it for FREE) so here’s the deal…..

Nab this ENTIRE set – including the bonus items – for just $5.99 HERE!!!

Yup, we’re crazy – take advantage of it 😉

Even if just SOME of these would make your life a bit easier, that all seems worth it – don’t you agree? I mean, parenting is crazy enough, so even the slightest bit of help can be a huge blessing! Whether you use ten of these sheets or ALL of them, I just hope they bring a little more ‘calm’, organization, time and relief to your family’s busy lives!

How to Utilize Time Waiting

April 9, 2020 by Kelly Dedeaux

How to Utilize Time Waiting

As a busy mom, you have to wait – sometimes a lot. There are probably many times you’ve had to wait around just this week – at the carpool line, at the doctor’s office, while your kiddos have practice. With all of our to-dos every day, we can’t really afford to ‘waste’ that time (although I’m a full supporter of taking some of that for YOU time). If you’re wanting to get more done and make the most of those moments, here’s some tips on How to Utilize Time Waiting.

Other than taking some of these moments for yourself – which I HIGHLY recommend at least occasionally – it’s nice to cross some other productive things off to help you fit more into your day. Here are some things busy moms can do to make the most of that time just sitting or standing around:

1. Go over your to do list. You can write the list, edit the list, review the list, etc. You might carry a small notebook with you, or use a digital to-do list or smartphone app. Whatever works for you, but that time spent waiting is a good way to stay updated on the tasks you need to get done. I know my list changes constantly, so it’s good to stay on top of it before it becomes overwhelming.

How to Utilize Time Waiting - Tips for Busy Moms #timemanagement #busymoms #busyparents #scheduling

2. Catch up on email. This can be a great time to wade through some of those emails you’ve been putting off opening, or to touch base with someone you’ve really been meaning to contact.

3. Review or start a grocery list. You might need to be at home to look in your kitchen and see what you’re out of, but most moms are pretty good at remembering at least some of what is and isn’t in their kitchen. You can also get a list going of potential meals for your next week’s menu, or think of a new recipe to try.

4. Catch up on social media. Need your daily social media fix? Want to see what your friends are up to, but you’ve been too busy? Here’s a good time to catch a peak – just don’t get sucked in too much like many of us do! 😉

5. Take some fun photos! My kids love it when I take time to nab some photos with them (since us moms don’t always get IN the photos), so we’ve started making it a regular thing when we’re waiting somewhere together.

With these tips in mind, you can plan ahead and best utilize time waiting. This will give you more time when you’re back at home for doing other things you need to tend to, and maybe even give you REAL time to spend for yourself!

What do YOU do while waiting around?

How to Truly Find Balance in Your Life

March 21, 2018 by Kelly Dedeaux

How to Truly Find Balance in Your Life #parenting #motherhood #life #management #balance #happiness #mom

Does anyone else experience those times in life when you just sit there thinking ‘how the heck can I handle everything?’ With all that we busy moms are asked to do, it’s an extremely frustrating task to find balance with it all. And not every person has the same responsibilities or desires for their time! One mom may need to provide some or all of the family’s income. Another may be the main household ‘manager’. Still another may be a full-time chauffeur due to their kids’ many activities. Most of us do more than one of those things, too! So how do we manage our responsibilities with spending quality time with our families AND making time to care for ourselves? Here’s a few tips on How to Truly Find Balance in Your Life – hopefully they’ll help us with this stressful balancing act a bit!

How to Truly Find Balance in Your Life #parenting #motherhood #life #management #balance #happiness #mom

We hear a lot of talk about “balance” these days. Balancing your personal life with your mom duties, balancing work and home life, balancing this-and-that – but what does it really mean? The first, and most important, thing to know about balance is that it is not static. It comes and goes and weaves in and out of your life as things change throughout your day, week, and months. You need to understand that it evolves and regularly be aware of it. Learn how to self-check to see if you are feeling balanced.

Just because you “find balance” doesn’t mean you will feel the same tomorrow. You may need to find it again. In time, it will get easier and easier to form good, positive habits that help you maintain balance in your life, but it is still a daily process. It isn’t something you just find and keep forever. It’s a constant struggle, like a constant balancing act we have to do – and it can change constantly as our roles, responsibilities and life challenges adjust.

Next, you also need to know that healthy eating and getting enough sleep each night will help you. It sounds basic – that’s because it is. It’s simple enough, yet many people struggle with it. You need to have your body and mind in the right place and this begins with healthy living.

Don’t be afraid to say no. Many of us moms find our lives getting kicked out of balance because we take on too many responsibilities or try to do too much. It’s important that we learn to say no and be comfortable doing so when the time comes. You can’t do everything, nor should you try.

Okay, so that sounds a lot easier than I think it is – but I think these few things are the most important steps for working towards balance. It’s okay if we don’t always get it perfect, but what matters most is that we’re trying – for our families sakes, as well as our own!

How do YOU best find balance in your life?

How to Fit Cleaning into Your Busy Mom Routine

February 23, 2018 by Kelly Dedeaux

How to Fit Cleaning into Your Busy Mom Routine #timemanagement #busymom #scheduling #cleaning #organizing #parenting #momtips #cleaningtips #homemanagement

As a mom, one of our big challenges in keeping a clean and organized home. The problem is that it’s just more to add to our hilariously long to-do list, and unless someone invents that wonderful ‘time in a bottle’ that I ask for every holiday, it’s just not always possible to accomplish EVERYTHING we want to get done. That being said, here’s a few tips on How to Fit Cleaning into Your Busy Mom Routine, so maybe you can get a little sweeping done every now and then!

How to Fit Cleaning into Your Busy Mom Routine #timemanagement #busymom #scheduling #cleaning #organizing #parenting #momtips #cleaningtips #homemanagement

Despite how many of my photos I share on my blog and social channels look, my house is not usually completely cleaned. Yes, we do regular cleaning and chores, but there’s always more I want to do – there’s just never time for it all. There are ways to tackle a few tasks here and there, though, that can help keep your house at least ‘clean enough’ – which is what some of us moms just need to be happy with until our kiddos are a bit older!

1. Make the most of naptime. When your son or daughter is napping, this is a great time to scrub the toilets, clean out the fridge or change the cat’s litter box. The key is to do quiet cleaning while your child naps so that you don’t wake them!

How to Fit Cleaning into Your Busy Mom Routine #timemanagement #busymom #scheduling #cleaning #organizing #parenting #momtips #cleaningtips #homemanagement

2. Clean while your child eats or watches TV. You can mop the floors while your child is enjoying their lunch or watching an episode of Dora the Explorer.

3. Get some cleaning done before mealtime. This can be a good time to encourage your child to pick up their toys or get your vacuuming done.

4. Do some cleaning after bedtime. After your kids have been tucked in, you might clean up the kitchen, do the dishes, unload the dishwasher or do any other cleaning that needs to be done.

5. Involve your child in cleaning. Even toddlers can get involved in cleaning by picking up their own toys. Young kids may enjoy dusting.

6. Lower your expectations. You have kids, possibly even some pets. Your house is never going to be completely clean – and that’s ok. Don’t stress so much about it not being perfect that you miss out on what’s more important – your family. There will be time later for a perfectly clean, organized home.

These are just some ideas on how to fit cleaning into your busy mom routine. Although it can take some strategic planning, there are plenty of great times to squeeze in a little bit here and there – and it all adds up!

How do YOU fit cleaning into your schedule?

How to Stop Multitasking and Get More Done

January 25, 2018 by Kelly Dedeaux

How to Stop Multitasking & Get More Done #busymoms #parenting #homemanagement #timemanagement #organization #tasklist #tips

Raise your hand if you’re a multi-tasker! I sure am – but that’s not necessarily a good thing. As busy moms, we often pride ourselves on our ability to do many things at once – and with all we have to do, it’s not avoidable all the time. But really, we’ve got to learn How to Stop Multitasking and Get More Done!

How to Stop Multitasking & Get More Done #busymoms #parenting #homemanagement #timemanagement #organization #tasklist #tips

You may think that multitasking is helping you get more things accomplished in your day, but many studies have shown that it does more harm than good. When you’re doing a specific task, you need to be sure you’re focused only on that specific task and not anything else at the moment. This will help you be more efficient with what you’re doing and you’ll get through things more quickly. It’s also super easy to get started on several things, but they never really get finished because we were handling too much all at once – or we were doing one thing, saw another and remembered it needed to be done and switched our focus, then several items later never make it back to the one we started with. Crazy, frustrating and exhausting, right?! By just focusing on one thing at a time, it not only gets done BETTER, but you can check more things off your to-do list, rather than have many things half started but not completed.

How to Stop Multitasking & Get More Done #busymoms #parenting #homemanagement #timemanagement #organization #tasklist #tips

So, if you’ve been overwhelmed and trying to tackle several things at once, it may be a difficult habit to quit. Here’s some tips to stop multitasking and get more done:

  1. Make a list of things you need to do, then prioritize your list. Put time estimates beside each task of how long they will take you. That way, if you find you have about 15 minutes, you can pick something that takes about that long to get done – instead of wondering what you can fit in and simply waste that time not deciding.
  2. Take each task one at a time and commit to doing it until finished. This also frees up your brain power from trying to keep too many tasks ‘open’ in it all at once.
  3. Block out your time throughout the day in chunks, based on your to-do list. I do better with smaller chunks of time, since it doesn’t seem so daunting – you can divide larger tasks up into smaller ones to help this, too.
  4. Allow yourself breaks in between completing tasks. You’ll be more focused on getting it done, and have a chance to refresh knowing you get a rest time when complete.
  5. Practice it until it becomes your new habit. Changes don’t happen instantly, especially with long-ingrained habits like this, so be patient and just keep at it the best you can.

What are your tips to get more done in the day?

Time Management for Busy Moms

January 5, 2018 by Kelly Dedeaux

Time Management for Busy Moms #timemanagement #busymoms #homemanagement

Us moms have to juggle many tasks and wear many hats, from carpooling and checking homework, cleaning and laundry, managing the budget and shopping, and sometimes even a whole slew of job work! It might seem like you never have time to stop, or even slow down with your enormous to-do list – but it’s important that you manage your time and your busy tasks as well as you can so that you CAN still get quality time with your family, as well as some time for yourself. Here’s some Time Management for Busy Moms to give us ALL a little help!

Time Management for Busy Moms #timemanagement #busymoms #homemanagement

It’s very important to your well-being, as well as the well-being of those you care for each day, and many moms just don’t make it a priority. I struggle with that all too often myself, so know what you’re up against! Maybe one or two of these time management tips will give you a little help and guidance.

Delegate – Whenever possible, try to delegate some tasks to someone else. Sometimes busy moms try too hard to do it all when there are tasks that others are perfectly capable of helping with. Despite what some husbands might think, they’re perfectly capable of helping with the house cleaning and such. No, they may not load the dishwasher perfectly how you want it – but if the dishes will still get cleaned, great! Are your kids able to help fold the clothes (who am I kidding, we don’t ‘fold’ clothes in our house – it’s wash, dry and put away in drawers or hung in closets!) or maybe wipe down the counters? Let them help!

Create a schedule – You need a schedule and you need to stick to it. It might seem difficult when everything is happening at a crazy, breakneck pace but it’s important you follow the schedule to help manage your time properly. Once you force yourself into a habit of following a schedule, it’ll become easier to do and help you get done what you need to while seeing where you can fit in other things.

Use a timer – Focus on one task at a time and use a timer to block out short blocks of time to get things done. The timer will keep you on task while also helping you see how much time you’re actually spending on things. It’s easier to tackle scrubbing toilets when I have a timer for only so many minutes – I can do REALLY good cleaning for those minutes, then I get a break!

Don’t overcommit – This is a difficult one for most moms but it’s important not to overbook and overcommit yourself. Sometimes you just need to say no because you already have too many things going on. There’s nothing wrong with this at all, regardless of why we tell ourselves we have to say yes or let ourselves feel guilty when we don’t. Us busy moms are AWESOME – but we’re not time lords or anything, so we just CANNOT do everything. Please let yourself say no sometimes.

Y’all remember when I shared how important it is for us moms to have a hobby of our own? I know that it’s easier said than done with how much we need to squeeze into each day – but with these time management tips for busy moms, hopefully we can ALL can keep ourselves on schedule a bit more and feel like we have some downtime now and then, because every mom deserves that!

Family Home Evening Planner for Busy Moms

Family Home Evening Planner Printables / by Busy Mom's Helper #FHE #LDS #Planner #Printables

Who does a weekly Family Night? We’ve sort of tried to in the past, but I could count the number of times we actually followed through on one hand. Pretty sad! This year I want to really make a better attempt at it, despite our crazy schedules with dance, karate, school and work! I know I need to be a lot more organized to pull this off, so I pulled up this awesome Printable Family Home Evening Planner for Busy Moms from few years ago to use!
