Do you see everybody else crushing (thanks Pitch Perfect) their lives and wonder how you can do that? Two things…1. not everybody is crushing their lives and 2. the things in this blog work for me, but may not work for you.
How to have an amazing week:
Upcoming Appointments:
My week goes better when I know what the heck I’m doing that week. We talk about what is upcoming in the week of the things we know are coming. For example, this last week we had a couple different meetings and planned who was going to be leaving when, taking what vehicle and who was checking the cows.
Food Preparations:
I know, I know. You’re tired of hearing about meal prepping. No? I guess that’s just me. Honestly, I don’t meal prep. I do, however, think through how many suppers we will be needing for the week after knowing how many days we will be gone. Then, I get out a variety of meat to unthaw. Most of our dinners include a protein and a veggie. I buy mostly frozen veggies. That way they are always good and I can roast, steam or saute them. Then I can make something with meat that is unthawed and have veggies to go with them. You don’t have to spend your Sundays meal prepping food. What I do recommend is deciding how many meals you’re going to need and get out meat to thaw. I make meals that come together in 20-30 minutes or less. If you have kids, include them in this time. Teach them kitchen skills.
Laundry:
I feel better when I start the week with empty clothes hampers. Sometimes that means throwing all the clothes on the floor so that the hamper is empty…kidding, but only kind of. If I know I’m not going to be able to get the baskets emptied, I make certain that our bed is washed every Sunday. I wash it with Persil Laundry Detergent and Downy In-Wash Scent Beads. I’ve put links below. It is vitally important that the Persil is Intense Fresh and the Downy is the pink beads (April Fresh). There is something about going to bed in a clean, amazing smelling bed that starts your week off right.
Plus, having our blogs scheduled makes me feel ultra good! Our weeks rarely go as I have planned, but having these three things done make them go more smoothly. Would our life collapse if I didn’t wash our bed on Sunday? No, but if #MyForeverPagel thinks I’m grouchy with having a clean bed, he should see me without. It’s the small things that make me incredibly happy. What makes you happy? What makes you prepared for the week?
