- Keep a calendar
If you are like most moms, you have a whirlwind of information and worry bombarding your every thought throughout the day.
This makes it incredibly easy to forget important dates and meetings. Hang a calendar up in a common area, like the kitchen, to write down every appointment as it is made.
Use a different color pen for each child so everyone knows what their week looks like, and you don’t have to make the embarrassing call to find out which child you are having that parent-teacher conference for.
Try keeping themed appointments on certain days, like phone appointments on Tuesdays and doctor appointments on Thursdays.
Each morning at breakfast review with your clan what the day entails so everyone is on the same page, and things run as smoothly as can be expected for a busy day with kids.
