My job has me traveling for the next year. When I first found out, I freaked out. This mom has two school aged kids with busy schedules and routines to keep. How was I going to keep up with it all?
I had to come up with ways of making my mommy duties easier and get them taken care of. I did not want anything to get missed. Nothing to fall in between the cracks. You know a mom's job is never done. Our job is 24/7, working round the clock everyday, all day. It was hard at first but I found a way to make it all work. How?
On-The-Go Tips-
1) Calendar-I keep a tight schedule. So booking everything in a shared calendar helps keep everyone on track. I even schedule "me" time. I also post a weekly calendar on our chalkboard wall for a more visual "don't forget" reminder.
2) List-Since I have been flying in just on the weekends, I make a list of all the things that need to be done. This way I don't forget anything. I cross things off as we get them taken care of. Most things can be done as a family and they added to our day. I don't stress over things that don't get crossed off. I just add them to my "honey-do" list for my husband.
3) Prep-A few things that have saved me is prepping for the time I am going to be away.
-Laundry-My daughter wears uniforms. I make sure to wash all her uniforms and leave them ready to go for dad. If there are days with special wear, I put the entire outfit together and pin the note with it.
-Cleaning-Chores are delegated and everyone pitches in to help. We do it Saturday mornings. This is a good way to get the family up and moving. And since we do it together, we get it done faster.
-Food-We grocery shop together before I have to fly back out. We make it a family game. Everyone is in charge of getting certain things on our grocery list. We split up in teams. My daughter loves those little HEB trainer carts. We make sure to get plenty of on-the-go snacks for the family. One of our favorites is LALA yogurts made with real fruit.
My son can pack these in his backpack and take it on the bus with him. No more skipping breakfast for him. My daughter enjoys her LALA for her afterschool snack. I like drinking LALA 100 Calories Yogurt Smoothies after the gym. The perfect recovery after my workout. I don't have to worry about all the calories, fat and sugar because they are only 100 calories and fat free.
LALA fuels us for our day. It is one less thing I have to worry about these days. I have enough on my plate. The kids love the taste and I know it is good nutrition for their bodies.
