Simple Steps to Manage Overwhelm and Keep You on Track

Here's our list of things that we are sorting and writing lists for this month:
  1. Baby clothes.  Our four step plan works every time.
    • If it fits, leave it in the drawer. 
    • If it's too small, put in in a rubbermaid tub labelled with the size for the next baby.  If you are on your last baby, take the box to you local consignment store.
    • If it's too big, put it in a rubbermaid tub labelled with the size and leave it somewhere visible.
    • Put a note in your calendar to do this once per month.
  2. Meals.  Make ahead freezer and slow cooker meals will make sure you keep your healthy January resolutions.  One of our favourite new hacks this year is prepping all ingredients for a slow cooker meal and freezing them in a extra large freezer bag.  Hello fresh curries and good bye casseroles. Make enough dinner for lunch the next day.

We'll admit it, "Spark Joy" has definitely become a catch phrase in our house in the past few years.  As in 'Does this broken plastic water gun from a birthday party three years ago really Spark Joy, boys?'  If you have  become a a Kondoite (like us) and are really short on time (like us) you are going to love this one line journal.
