Sunday Habits for Busy Moms to Have a Productive Week

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

Productive Habits on Sunday for Busy Moms

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.

Winter Bucket List for Families

Winter Bucket List for Families


The winter season is a great time to make many memories together as a family. Celebrating Christmas is obviously a huge part of the season, but there are other things to do as well.

Many winter activities for families are done indoors, but you don’t have to sit at home bored all the time! If you live in a snowy area of the US, you’ll definitely find lots of ways to have fun for your winter family checklist. You can build your own Frosty, make snow angels or have a snowball fight!

Even if you don’t get a lot of snow where you live, you can still enjoy this winter family bucket list. You just may need some more creative ideas!

Winter Family Bucket List Checklist

Winter Bucket List Ideas

Some of the activities on this list include:

  • Make a gingerbread house
  • Have a snowball fight
  • Make a pot of chili – (like our easiest chili ever!)
  • Drink hot cocoa with marshmallows
  • Go ice skating or sledding
  • String popcorn
  • Build a snowman (or maybe these snowman cupcakes?)
  • Have a snowball fight
  • Make paper snowflakes
  • Decorate the porch
  • Make snow angels
  • Create a time capsule (see our back to school time capsule)
  • Make fondue
  • Make Christmas tree ornaments
  • Do Random Acts of Kindness
  • Go look at Christmas lights
  • Take a family photo
  • Make a DIY snow globe
  • Sit by a warm fire
  • Make s’mores
  • Collect pine cones
  • Go to a hockey game
  • Do a winter scavenger hunt (maybe a fun Elf on the Shelf one)
  • Play board games

There’s even a blank template for your winter bucket list. Use it to create your family’s own checklist for fun this season. Pull items you like from the list we created, adapt what you need to, and add new ideas to make it personal.

Halloween Teacher Gift Ideas

Fall is right around the corner and so is back to school! There are really fun ways to incorporate the holidays into any teacher gift, especially for Halloween! Teachers put so much time, energy, and love into their jobs, It’s important to show them how much we appreciate all that they do.

Since I am a big fan of teachers and teacher appreciation, I couldn’t forget them this Halloween! Halloween is such a fun time of the year. There are cool costumes, lots of candy, decorations, and haunted houses. Between this, and the fact that it takes place during the coziest time of the year, Halloween is one of the best holidays.

Big Goal Planner & Vision Board Template

Get organized with this Big Goal Planner & Vision Board Template. Dream big and accomplish a larger goal with this step by step template and daily planer. What are your dreams and desires? Achieve goals with this goal planner printable. Enjoy!

Big Goal Planner

Big Goal Planner Organizational Printable

I hope you have joined our email list? A a new email subscriber, we have a very special offer on our Busy Mom Binder!

This binder was created for for moms who desire organization.  As a benefit, it was also created for moms to give the {pointer} finger to when someone in the house asks about a calendar, schedule, to do list, etc. It is your family command center in one space, an easy accessible family organizer.

Watch this video to learn more about the Busy Mom Binder! 👇

Goal Planner Printable

Want to try a piece of this printable family command center? I have a gift for you, mom. If you have been waiting to try our Busy Mom Binder, you can get started with this Big Goal Planner.

I figured when organizing the kids for Back to School, it would also be a nice printable organizer for you too! I have honestly used it for many things – what some would consider big goals and what others might consider small goals. You can personalize it to yourself.

Use this Goal Planner Template as a road-map to get you to your final achievement.

Short Term Goals Examples

Goals can create habits. Take a look a few long and short term goal examples

“Control my spending”

“Write a children’s book”

“Read more books”

“Call my mom”

“Loose 10 pounds”

“Deep clean the kitchen”

“Redo a child’s room”

Sometimes small and long term goals can feel very daunting. In order to achieve that goal, it is important to break it down into baby steps or short term successes.  For this Big Goal Planner, we added three baby steps to achieve a giant leap.

Let me give you an example of how we created short term goals to create my daughter’s final {pre} teen bedroom makeover.

This big goal crusher might have not been necessary except that is was good planning for my child and helped her see the completion of a bigger picture by setting goals in smaller baby steps.

First, Dream Big. Take your biggest goal and begin to organize your vision planner. Write your big picture as the big goal. Give yourself a reason to accomplish this goal – why are doing it?

Let’s begin Goal Setting. Next, split your goal into smaller short term goals and write down the dates that you accomplish daily goals to get you to those three small term goals. Daily planning and adding dates helped my child (and myself) with time management. Once these three short term goals are complete, your big goal should also be accomplished.

Are there areas of your life you wish to change? Wish to improve? Let’s get started…

Vision Board Template Printable

What are your dreams and desires? Reading to create a vision board for your big goal. Having a vision board doesn’t have to be magazine cutouts, teenage dream boards, an over-sized poster board, or in marquee lights. It can simply be a daily, monthly or weekly goal organizer pinned to a home office cork board, added to your refrigerator or placed inside your family organizer.
