Flores Mon, 14 Feb 2011 07:15:00 +0000 http://www.modernmami.com/?p=3605#comment-24541 I was actually telling my husband today of how I´ve always wanted to play “hookie” from all my responsibilities on a random weekday and just head to the beach and spend a whole afternoon there by myself. I have still to do it, but this post has really motivated to get that done..for me!

own events and help with the scheduling. That’s great!

The scheduling for older kids is really important. I have a large desk calendar and small planner for my son where he can write in things that are going on that week at school, homework, projects or chores he needs to help with at home.

These are such great tips!!!! My favorite is the time for “me”. ( :

baby girl and it does work. Good luck!

There are so many tips here that I don’t know where to begin! A couple of them that I will keep in mind right away are the making appointments for myself, that is a must, I do it but then I don’t follow through for next months and forget. And the kid’s schedule with pictures I need to do it, I know my boy loves a chart and he will follow the routine much better! I will bookmark this post. Thanks Jeannette!

It’s tough, but important, to overcome that and make it happen.
