School starting soon and that means organizing….organizing……
I received my new calendar in the mail the other day and filled it out for Sept – December already. I decided not to put stickers on the calendar for chore night, but put the chore rotation on a separate sheet of paper. It is sort of like the graph below.

I did use stickers for dishes each night. I hate to rewrite the same thing over and over so I use return address labels and print them on the computer. So each night is a sticker about who’s night it is to do dishes.
It sure helps for us to be organized!! Especially when you have a couple of people in your family with ADHD. It helps everyone so much!
I also started a family planner that we keep on the table. It is like a glance at our week. I used the pages from Menu4Moms.com. I am using the Menu4Moms Weekly Planner. The one page has the menu for the week and the other has daily notes to the boys about things they need to do, etc.
Well it is time to put Tommy to bed so I think I will get ready for bed. hope everyone had a great weekend!!!
Staying organized keeps me sane too! 😉 Glad you liked that menu4moms site too. Blessings! 😉
You are sooooooo organized! Do you give lessons? I like your rotating chore chart, but with all the activities and differing schedules around here, I don’t think it would work. Kudos to you!
