Fantastic Finds- School Mum Calendar
Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links. Keeping track of the comings & goings of six kids is no joke, so I rely heavily on a calendar to stay on top of it all. I’ve set up a command center in my kitchen that contains our family’s master calendar, which I’ve talked about previously here. I’m always on the lookout for helpful organizing products, & when Stationery Geek UK offered me the opportunity to review their School Mum Calendar, I jumped at the chance! I’m so into nifty organizing tools, & Stationery Geek is chock full of fun stuff. Click here to check out Stationery Geek’s website. Here’s one of the…

Staying On Target
“Quality time”- I know that I talked about family time in my last post, so you’re probably thinking, “AGAIN with the quality time??”. Confession: One of my concerns in having a big family was that none of my kids would feel like they were lost in the shuffle. I would never want any of them to feel like I didn’t invest time alone with him or her, and to tell Dr. Drew how their mom didn’t care. (Why Dr. Drew? Because GOALS, people.
