Hello and Happy Monday Friends!
My weeks are admittedly very busy even if I don’t have many things to do outside of the house. I’ve done posts before about being ready for the week but my ways of preparing are always changing as life does. On Sunday’s I take total advantage of MK being able to watch the Kilgore Kids tat keep me exceptionally busy throughout the week. I often times don’t have time for much else than Mothering. I wanted to share the things I do on my ideal Sunday that helps me be very prepared for the week ahead.
I clean like crazy.
I start at the top in my closet because it gets the least cleaning love throughout the week. Since it, and my kids floors are all hard floors, I clean those. But listen, I must tell you about the most life changing floor cleaner. The Shark VACmop. Just go buy it if your house doesn’t have a lot of carpet. I’m obsessed. I used to change sooo many Swifters cleaning floors. No more of that. This vacuums and wet cleans the floor at the same time. Again, life changing. Just about every Sunday I detail the kids rooms, I also do the sheets in everyone’s room and the all the towels.
Collect the laundry
Monday’s are my laundry day so I make sure I have everyone’s laundry ready to go so one of the first things I can do in the morning is start the laundry.
Meal Prep
This one is so important for me because I am so busy through the day I sometimes don’t have time to eat. So when I have the time to prep breakfast and lunch I do it. That way I know I’m going to eat well and not mess up the kitchen too much.
Put together a few outfits
I always look at my schedule for the week and pull some outfits for any appointment I might have. Even if I have nothing scheduled something usually comes up and I don’t have to think about what I have to wear and can just throw on what I have pulled.
Plan some dinners
I aim to always have three dinners for the week planned. Again, I look at my (color coded, I’m like a little organized) planner to see how many shoots MK has and what kind of dinner is better. Some nights are better for a slow cooker situation, depending on when he’ll be home.
This is just what works for me, but I find that as much as you can prepare for the week that’s coming the smoother it will go.
I hope you all have a chic and productive week!
