Happy 2013!! January is a great month to take a moment and get yourself organized. Prioritize your life, find what is important and do those things. Here are some of the resources I love to use while getting organized. Please share any other resourses you love to use to get organized!
HOME MANAGEMENT:
My Ultimate Happy Home Cleaning Routine – includes what chores I have my kids do, how I manage my time, my own personal Truman Family Schedule and a FREE printable check list for keeping your house clean. This has worked SO WELL for me!!!
COOKING & MEALS:
Every few months I make up 50 Freezer Meals in a Day – to save me time with meal making. Our family gets really busy especially during the sports seasons. This post includes the recipes I make and instructions.
If freezer cooking is not your thing – here is my Menu Planning post that works wonders at organizing your meals menu.
FINANCES & BUDGETING
The Coupon Savings Tracker makes it easy for all of you super shoppers out there to keep track of how much you are saving and how much you are spending! When you get back from a shopping trip you can just go in and enter the information from your receipts. Then the program does the rest. It summarizes your total by yearly saved/spent as well as monthly! You can enter in your monthly budget on each page and it will tell you how much you have left to spend.
Mint.com – a great financial program that show you how much you are spending. You can create a budget, categorize your purchases and more – for FREE!
Dave Ramseys Financial Peace University – I love this whole system. You can head to Dave Ramsey’s website to find a class near you or register online. There are free programs on his website as well.
