These Sunday habits for busy moms will help you stay productive all week long!

It’s no secret that moms lead a busy life. Whether you have one child or four, stay at home or work outside of it, there is always a list of things you need to do. And those lists never seem to completely go away. You mark off four tasks, and suddenly two or three more come up.

In order to stay (somewhat) on top of your busy schedule, you need to stay productive. You can do this by establishing good habits on Sundays. A typical calendar may start a week on Sunday, but most feel that Monday is actually day 1 – Monday is the first day of a new work week and it’s when the kids go back to school after the weekend, etc.

Sunday Habits for Busy Moms to Have a Productive Week

There is a good bit of “planning” and “doing” that should happen on Sundays if you want your week to go well. Let’s look at what needs to be planned every Sunday.

Sunday Planning

Goals
To-do list
Meals for the week
Outfits
Family budget
Exercise

Where can you keep all these plans? In The Busy Mom Binder of course!

The goals can be for yourself and for your family. Do you want to declutter the attic this week? Make a plan! Maybe little Johnny needs to sell 25 more candy bars for a fundraiser. Make a plan on how he will do it! Use the goals to help make your to-do list for the week.

The rest of the planning is self-explanatory, but deciding on these things on Sunday makes the entire week run smoother. No more washing clothes the night before your child needs to wear something specific to school the next day. No more “what are we having for dinner??” every night either!

Sunday Doing

With your planning finished, it’s time to do some things to prepare for a productive week. Here are some things you can do to lessen your weekly load.

Grocery shopping and meal prep
Clean and organize home
Clear out your email inbox
Wash and put away laundry
Go for a walk
Practice self care
Go to bed early

Doing these tasks ahead of time removes a lot of the guesswork or late-minute busyness that may come during the week. Meal prep can save you 30 minutes or more of standing in the kitchen on a busy Tuesday night. Doing up the laundry ensures everyone has fresh clothing to wear and that the planned outfits are ready to go.

To help you remember the important Sunday habits for busy moms, I’m offering a free printable list for my readers. This printable makes it easy for you to get all the Sunday tasks done so your week can be super productive. Print the list and keep it in your Busy Mom Binder or on the fridge – somewhere you will reference it each weekend.

I’ve also included a printable motivational quote from Mark Twain that says, “The secret of getting ahead is getting started.” These Sunday habits allow you to do just that. Not only are you getting started, but you are getting things done so that you can prepare for a smooth week!

I also have more Busy Mom Hacks if and you need them! Pin to Pinterest.

Kids Breakfast Recipes for Back to School

Save these kids breakfast recipes for the back to school season. Easy and healthy recipes your kids will enjoy and you can quickly make in the morning or prep ahead.

Kids Breakfast Recipes

My kids eat pretty healthy. This is for two reasons. First, I am a good mom. Second (and most truthful), I will beat those kids to a full bag of chips. Not the individual sized chips. I mean, I will out eat a family-sized bag of Doritos Chips. Because this last fact is scarily true, I can’t buy unhealthy food in our house. I can’t control my own urges. Knowing my own limitations and also, being a good mom, I worked hard to find Kids Breakfast Recipes in preparation for Back to School.

These breakfast recipes are not only recipes the kids will enjoy but also recipes I (the good parent, mother) will enjoy. The ingredients will not make me feel sick, I mean the kids feel sick, at the on-start of the day. Many you can prep ahead over the weekend, and pull out on a weekday morning.

Create a budget and set a game plan with these Debt Payment Tips. Using a debt payment calculator and debt payoff tracker printable template, pay down debt so you can declare you are debt-free!

Debt Payment Tips with Debt Payoff Tracker

We have a Christmas Gift for you. Everyone wants to spring into the new year (especially after 2020), with a fresh start! Can I get a nod? We pulled our Debt Payment Tracker from our Busy Mom Binder to bring you this New Year’s Organizational Printable gift.

I wanted to share with you a few Dave Ramsey quotes. These money inspirational quotes about money might be empowering enough to kick your but the start of this new year.

“We buy things we don’t need with money we don’t have to impress people we don’t like.” (The Total Money Makeover)

“If you will live like no one else, later you can live like no one else.”

“A budget is telling your money where to go instead of wondering where it went.”

“Live like no else today, so you can live like no else tomorrow.”

How Do I Track My Debt Payoff

Let’s get started. How do I track my debt payoff? The quick and easy answer is a debt tracker PDF. However, it will be futile to began a debt payment tracker without knowing how to get started.

To track you debt payoff you need to set a budget, know helpful tips, and calculate your debt. With a debt calculator, you will then have a debt payment plan to began your journey of being debt free.

Debt Payoff Tips

There are a few debt pay off tips to consider when beginning this process.

Create a budget
Maintain a Debt Progress Tracker
Pay more than the minimum balance
Put a halt on your credit cards
Spend cash only (where you can) Start with a Cash Envelope Wallet.
Take a no spend challenge while you payoff debt
Have a friend hold you accountable
Set small goals
Have a reward at the end goal

When you feel you are going to cheat, have a mantra. A mantra is a a statement or slogan repeated frequently. For example, when I am watching what I am eating, before I pick up that OREO, I tell myself “beach body.” It reminds me for the look I am going for.

The same can be true with spending habits. Before you spend, have a mantra. Before you swipe the credit card or pull out that wallet, say “act your wage” (another Dave Ramsey quote.) Make the quote your own. You could say “family vacation” (a small reminder of your reward at your end goal!)

What will your debt payoff mantra reminder be?

Debt Payoff Calculator

Want to find out how quickly you could be debt-free? Dave Ramsey is an excellent resource. Use this Dave Ramsey Debt Calculator. Answer five questions about your different debts. Based on your answers and national research data, find the estimated amount of time it will take you to pay off your total debt.

Debt questions include…

What is the balance on your credit card(s)?
What is the balance on your car loan(s)? What are you monthly payments?
What is the balance on your student loan(s)? What are you monthly payments?
What is the total of any other non-mortgage debts you have not listed?
What is your total household income?

After answering these Debt Calculator questions, see your total debt as well as the plan to help you pay it off fast. In many cases your debt payment plan will not be a race, it will be a marathon. Remember, slow and steady wins the race. Pace yourself and discipline yourself to stay within your budget and on your debt payment tracker plan.

Debt Payment Tracker

Once you know your total debt and have a payment plan, having a debt tracker template will help you see your progress and results. Download our debt payoff chart PDF. For this debt payoff visual printable, use the results of your debt payment calculator to began your progress.

DIY Valentine Wreath Crafts – Adorable Valentine’s Day Decor Ideas for Your Door.

Valentine Wreath Ideas

Nothing welcomes a guest more than the front door. The front door is the first impression visitors get to your home. While the inside might be quite chaotic (mine is), while every closet might be stuffed to the brim with “stuff” (mine are), a wreath states “I am merry, welcoming, and this house is festive and fun.” It truly can tell a false story and is the number one reason I swear by a holiday wreath on my door – false impressions.

Boy I sound like I carried some of Grinch with me over from Christmas! It really is my dry humor… read on…

Consider these Valentine’s Day Wreaths to be the Facebook post that gives the social media facade. My home is beautiful. My home is kept. Let me invite you into my home.

Wise tip for keeping a false impression: You never have to open the door more than a crack.

Whether you have a February wreath for a false sense of what is inside or you have a heart wreath because you are the hostess with the mostess (yes, we know you), follow these Valentine Wreaths for inspiration this February.

… and thank you for staying with me this far!

Valentine’s Day Wreaths

We could not find the source of this Valentine Wreath, but we simply love it. Pink roses, eucalyptus, black and white buffalo check ribbon (wire is best) and pink gingham ribbon.

Add some cheer to your front door with this pretty love notes DIY Valentine’s wreath. Not only is it easy to make the supplies only cost about $30 – far cheaper than a store-bought wreath!

See how easy it is to create a simple and elegant Valentine’s Day Hoop Wreath that can be quickly transformed for every holiday and season! | Lydi Outloud

We have a classic Valentine Wreath made with a clothes hanger – yep! Your everyday, dry cleaning hanger!

See, I told you Michelle was a rock star. That wreath got your attention, how about this Dollar Tree and Dollar General Valentine Wreath. | Crafty Morning

We tried to find the tutorial for this Boxwood Wreath tutorial with hearts, but we could not. What we suggest you do is purchase a boxwood wreath you can keep year around and then use Dollar Tree glitter hearts and insert the sticks into the base of the wreath. Easy. Peasy.

Enjoy these Valentine’s Day Decor for your home with a focus on fourteen inspiring Valentine Mantel Ideas – Happy Valentine’s Day!

14 Inspiring Valentine Mantel Ideas

Have you cleaned up your Christmas decorations? Before I had kids, and maybe when I only had one, my Christmas decorations were always put away by the New Year. Every year and with each additional child, the date became later and later. This year, with the expected delivery of the twins, we decided to go very slim on decorations. I just couldn’t handle the babies coming and getting everything put away.

Anyways, moving on from the holidays of last year and onto the first holiday of the new year – Valentines Day! Last year you guys loved our Valentine Home Decor Ideas. This year we wanted to go a step further with a focus – Valentine Mantel Ideas. I think if you are going to decorate any piece of your home, at least get the mantel. If you can’t get to anything else in the home for that season, no big deal. The mantel is the staple of most homes and having it decorated allows you to feel as if you didn’t slack. If you are doing more than just the mantel, take a look at our Valentine Home Decor Ideas for insight.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

My favorite thing of this Valentine Mantel Idea is the Deck of Cards Garland – we all could do that with a few simple fabric scraps too! I’ts a Valentine fireplace you would be so proud of. Adorable! | Happiness is Homemade

I love the touches of blue in this Valentine Mantel Idea. Not even intended for Valentine’s Day, don’t those pillows pop?! Also isn’t that heart so creative? It looks like it was made from molding or baseboard! | Remodelando La Casa

This particular blogger was a little worn out post holidays and decided to only decorate the mantel. In that, she also wanted everything simple and clean! | Random Thoughts
