82. ***NEW*** Bi-Weekly Episodes Start This Week! ***Quick Tip Tuesdays*** - How to eliminate decision fatigue & take back your time this week!
82. ***ALL NEW*** Quick Tip Tuesdays start today! - How to eliminate decision fatigue by doing these 4 things every weekend!
1. Menu plan 4 meals a day for everyday this week
Pro tip! Keep it simple and let go of perfectionism! Don't forget to include leftovers, cereal and freezer waffles! It's ok to not have a four course meal every dinner - plan out a few quick and easy meals for those unexpected busy weeknights. Hint - we have a printable for this! Check out the blog (http://www.highfivemotherhood.com) for our week at a glance printable that will help you win your week before it begins!
2. Choose outfits for the week for you and your littles. Pro tip! Roll up baby and toddler clothes in outfits with underwear or diaper for quick outfit changes during busy mornings! Ask the older kiddos to help dress the younger ones, this rolling method also makes it easier for them to help their siblings quickly as well. Hint: that means laundry needs to be done before the weekend. Well, just have at least 7 matching outfits washed, dried, rolled and ready to go. Maybe add a few extra outfits in there incase of spills or blowouts! Remember - you don't have to eat the whole elephant at once, just one bite at a time. If you can't get ALL the laundry in the house cleaned before the weekend...that's ok! We aren't looking for perfection...just do what you can, when you can. Focus on washing at least 7 or so outfits for you and your kiddos, so you have something to work with for next week.
3. Empty & clean out, refill & reorganize your purse, diaper bag, backpack, gym bag, car console, etc. Pro tip! Think ahead - what does your schedule look like for next week? Errands or on the go? Pack snacks for you and your toddlers in your bags. Going to church? Pack a bag filled with quiet activities like coloring pages, books, and simple snacks. Going to the gym? Fill your water bottle, pack a protein bar, pack a change of clothes and get ready bag if you get showered and ready at the gym...etc. Think ahead, make a plan, pack accordingly. Plan ahead for less stress.
4. Bonus tip! Refill & restock all the things! The toilet paper, hand soaps, paper towels, pads/tampons, diapers/wipes, after school snacks, lunch packing station ( check out episode 80 for back to school tips on after school routines and organization systems for students), etc. Restock the sanitizing wipes, diapers and baby wipes in the car, maybe the diaper trash bags, snacks and waters in the car console, tissues, etc.
