Simple Ways to Start Planning Your Mum Life (Even in Mid-January!)
Hey there!
Can you believe we're already halfway through January? I know what you're thinking - "I've already missed the boat on New Year's resolutions and getting organised!" But here's the thing: there's never a wrong time to start taking better care of yourself and getting your life in order. In fact, sometimes waiting until the New Year buzz dies down can help us make more realistic, sustainable changes.
I've been thinking a lot about this lately, especially as I watch so many of us trying to juggle ALL. THE. THINGS. Between school runs, meal prep, doctor appointments, activities, and trying to squeeze in some self-care (what's that, right? 😉), it's no wonder we sometimes feel like we're barely keeping our heads above water.
But here's what I've learned: writing things down makes such a huge difference. Not just in keeping track of everything, but in actually feeling more in control of our days. When it's all swimming around in our heads, it feels overwhelming. But getting it down on paper? That's like letting out a big, deep breath we didn't even know we were holding.
Planning Tips
Here are some simple ways to start building better planning habits (even if you're thinking "but I'm not a planner person!"):
1. Start small. Pick just one area of your life to focus on first - maybe it's meal planning, or tracking your kids' activities. Don't try to organise everything at once.
2. Make it part of your routine. Maybe it's Sunday evening after the kids are in bed, or Monday morning with your coffee. Find a quiet moment that works for you.
3. Keep it visible. Having your planner where you can see it (I keep mine on the kitchen counter!) makes you more likely to actually use it.
4. Don't aim for perfection. Some weeks you'll fill out everything beautifully, other weeks it'll be messy scribbles. Both are perfectly fine!
And speaking of planners... I'm SO excited to finally share something I've been working on! drum roll
Introducing the Mamma's Everything Planner! 🎉
This isn't just another pretty planner (though it is pretty, if I do say so myself!). This is the planner I wished I had when I was drowning in sticky notes and forgotten appointments. It has spaces for everything we juggle as mums - meal planning, kids' schedules, self-care tracking, family goals, and so much more.
The best part? You can now grab it right from our brand new shop section on the website! I'm beyond thrilled to finally have this available for all of you amazing mamas.
Conclusion
Remember, starting fresh doesn't have to mean January 1st. It can be any random Tuesday when you decide "today's the day I'm getting my act together." And if that day is today, I'm right here cheering you on!
