I thought I'd share my secret to keeping my kids (& their stuff) straight! COLOR-CODING has saved my life.
Each family member (me & daddy included) has a color. We have our color in everything... CUPS PLATES JACKETS HATS & GLOVES SCHOOL SUPPLIES BAGS TOWELS TOOTHBRUSHES LAUNDRY HAMPERS SOCKS (sometimes even clothing or other things) I am even able to color-code the columns on our "Today I Ate A Rainbow" charts & our daily schedules. It might sound like over-kill, but when I see a blue towel on the floor... I know whose it is (& who needs a little more help remembering to hang their towel)! When ladybug can't find her jacket, we know we're looking for pink! It REALLY helps the smaller children. They see "their color" everywhere & feel a responsibility for it! ...I see "their colors" everywhere & want to buy each one! Haha! Anytime I see things with color options in {green, purple, blue, pink ,orange} I have to have it! ;) What things help you mommas? Do you have any tricks that help you keep track of things??

Interests
I love to craft. I love to decorate. I am passionate about natural living & natural birthing. Sometimes I write stuff. I plan parties like my life depended on it. My favorite color is pink. My house is definitely NOT taupe. I typically cannot keep plants alive. I am only allowed to have dogs as pets because all others tend to have the same end result as the plants. Luckily my track record with kids is pretty good! Also, I drink a lot of coffee. And I really like tacos. |
