Keep Your Family Organize

Keep the family household organized and running smoothly here are some top tips for you to implement into your home and routine.

Meal plan

Meal planning will save you not only in time but in money also. Dinner planning will take the daily headaches out of deciding what to make for dinner and then making sure you actually have all of the ingredients available to make it.

When it comes to meal planning this should include lunches and dinners and it can be done using an app, your phone, or the good old pen and paper. What is more, by planning your meals in advance you will know exactly what you need to order from your weekly grocery shop.

This in turn ensures you have everything you need and stops you from overspending on things that you don’t need. 

Top tip; try not to deviate from your meal plan and don’t be afraid to include leftovers as one of your meals. 

Storage, storage, and more storage 

Growing families have so much stuff. Toys, books, arts, crafts, school work, shoes and that’s just the children. To avoid your household from descending into chaos ensure everything has a place and everything is in its place. It will save frantic searches as you are supposed to be heading out of the door.  Invest in lots of storage, putting everything away in a neatly organized storage container or furniture item will not only help keep order but help reduce clutter and keep things tidy too.

Have a cleaning schedule

Like it or loathe it your family home always needs a clean. Keeping your home clean and tidy will have a knock-on impact on your daily mood, productivity, and general wellbeing. If you are finding keeping on top of the demands of keeping your household tidy then having a regimented routine of what you clean and on what days is a great way to stay on track and keep everything in order. 

Top tip; break down your tasks into small manageable chunks. Even just 30 minutes a day or one room a day can make a huge dent in the overall schedule.

Plan your mornings – The night before

Mornings in any household can be chaotic, trying to get everybody dressed, fed, and teeth brushed let alone trying to get out of the door on time. To help make things a little easier and keep everyone running on schedule, without having to yell ‘hurry up’ every few minutes then try to get everything ready the night before. Having the clothes set up and laid out, breakfast set, and school bags ready can make the morning considerably less stressful.
