Give advise to busy working parents

     

     To have a good and stress free week we need to plan and organized ahead. First we should purchase a big calendar where we can see each member of the family's activities and appointment for the month if we prefer  we can assign a different ink color to every member for easy finding. That way we won't double schedule anything and we'll avoid trying to be in two places at the same time or running late because there wasn't enough time between them. Also is a good idea to set up a time to call and make all the routine medical appointments for the whole family like dental cleaning, yearly physical check ups, vaccinations, optometrist etc. at one time if possible even the pets and write down all on the calendar. Depending on the use that we give to our vehicles it is important to program though the year the services that may need like oil change, check on tires pressure, batteries etc. and make a note on the respective month on the calendar to remind us. Second it is good  to create a weekly or even better monthly menu for the family for breakfast, lunch to take to school or work and diner so we can see all the ingredients that every recipe will need for each meal that way will have a comprehensive shopping list. We should make two separate shopping lists. The first one will be made weekly with all the perishable food that we want to have fresh like diaries, fruits, vegetables, species, bread, cold cuts, meats etc. The second one should be for the month with the no perishable foods like pasta, snacks, canned food, drinks, and also the cleaning supplies and items that can be storage like towel paper, toilet paper, shampoo, plastics bags etc. The shopping lists should be stick on the calendar, pantry door, refrigerator or any visible place accessible to all the older family members to write down what we'll need to buy in our next trip to the super market. Trying to following this tips will help us oversee the week and month ahead of us to not to overthinking over and over everyday on the same daily issues.
