2012 Calendar and Menu Planning for Moms and Dads

I’m working on planning out my year for both my business and my home, so that everything does it’s best to run like clock-work. Am I dreaming? Maybe. But I have been seeing this really cool planner from Motivated Moms talked about to great extent on several blogs that I read. I’ve seen several bloggers swear by this planner, so I thought I’d give it a whirl.

For $8, I got the entire planner to print out and include in a 3-ring-binder. I already have a binder that I use for organizing meal planning and homeschool plans, but really needed a great calendar addition for home-life.

So far I am absolutely loving this planner from Motivated Moms. I can already tell that it is going to make our household run a lot more smoothly, and allow me to get things done more efficiently so that I have more time with my family.

Thanks for sharing the Just Mommies plan, Eileen! I like this one, too! I don’t have time to write anything down since I’m an employed mother. I don’t like to say I’m a working mother because every mother is a working mother! : )

Question: what’s an average grocery weekly budget for 2 grown ups and a toddler? Just curious. Trying to plan mine:)

For an organic/thrifty person I’d say $50-$80 a week.

I had a question: I went to the website and saw that they were not any examples to look at, I’m not sure what would work better for myself. 2012 Motivated Moms Chore Planner with Scheduled Bible Reading or 2012 Full-Sized Page Per Day Planner with Scheduled Bible Reading. I wanted to see if you know what would work better (I’m a homeschool mom )

You’ll need to tell me how that’s possible. I can’t leave the store without spending 150 each week.
