Note: I’ve gotten a few emails asking about Hayes’s sleep training. I did a post last week about Moms on Call. It is truly wonderful! While I am a huge advocate for it now and am one hundred percent a believer in their method, I can’t post their program on my blog. I didn’t write it and that would be plagiarism. So go to momsoncall.com to see what we’re doing with Hayes and watch the seminar for the full effect. It really does work! I promise!
I’m linking up with Stefanie from Paw Prints and Pastry Bags again this week! You should, too!
Yesterday’s goals were mostly about being organized and planning meals and schedules. So most of my pins from this week are about the same thing!
The embed feature on Pinterest is a serious pain in the you know what, so I had to sort of improvise this week. I’m sorry that I can’t link to every original source.
Home Organization Notebook cover from Honey We’re Home
The adorable family on Honey We’re Home has a home organization notebook that has a printable daily calendar and monthly calendar. There are slots for loose papers like mail and bills and invitations that need to be RSVPed to. I could also put my meal planning notebook as part of this! MomAgenda has printable calendars and I may just do something like that instead this year so I can keep everything in one place.
Menu Planning Binder inside from Our Life Accounts
So their menu planning system is exactly what I’ve been thinking I need to do. The other pictures on her blog show the printed out recipes, the grocery list, and an extras tab. This is truly what I want my system to be. I’m so excited I saw her tweet the other day linking to this post!
Snack Station in the refrigerator from Oh Dee Doh
I love this little ready-to-go snack station. This has perfectly portioned snacks for Hudson and for me. He can reach in and grab what he needs and I already have my snacks measured out according to what I should be eating that day. I just love this! It definitely takes planning, but I need to be more organized.
That snack station is an awesome idea
Such great ideas Erin! Thanks for finding and sharing! A binder beats my tons of sticky notes!
I LOVE your blog! You seem to be doing GREAT with your two little men. I hope I can do half as good as you are with just one come November. I have been reading/stalking your blog since bf Hudson was born. I know..crazy right? I live in Charleston, SC and found your blog before we moved here from Kelly’s Korner and just got addicted to you. You seem alot like me and I LOVE your style. I just recently started my own blog so I can now stop secretlly checking yours all the time. I am using alot of your mommy tips for our little bundle of joy and hope they work. You seem very type A like myself so I think whatever is working for you should be my route. God Bless your little family and keep your head up…you LOOK great, your boys look happy and healthy, and you are doing everything RIGHT….there is NO right answer and what works for your family is exactly what you should be doing. Keep your head up pretty momma!

I had a binder like that when I was pregnant with Brody and when he was a new baby. It was great! I also broke down a daily cleaning schedule inside. It made cleaning/laundry so much simpler and less overwhelming. I think I need to pull the notebook back out and use it again!
I NEED that snack “station” in our fridge! So simple, but brilliant! Think i’ll be printing that pic for my next Publix trip!
I just wanted to pass along a website that has made meal planning a breeze! You may have already heard of this…I know that Dave Ramsey is a big advocate:) The website is http://www.e-mealz.com They meal plan a weeks worth of meals at the store of your choice. They even give you an easy to follow grocery list. It has been the best $15 I have EVER spent!!! Check it out:)
I need that snack station!
Ah, I thought that might be the case with the Moms on Call program. That being said, I’ve ordered the book & DVD, so I’m hoping we can make a few changes with my little boy’s sleeping schedule! I will let you know how it goes 🙂
Moms on Call needs a section on Teenager’s for mom’s with older kids – lol! I wish I would’ve known about them/or they had been around 15 years ago, it was a hard adjustment with my oldest when she was an infant/baby. Now, of course she likes to stay up late (chatting with friends on-line) and sleep in late, but it’s summer and no school, so sleeping in is good! 🙂 They grow up fast, enjoy this time!
Those are all great ideas! I need to be more organized too…why is it so hard to do?!
Love the snack container….and love everything else too. Just not sure I would pull the binder off…great in theory though. Maybe some day…hmmm.
I just got onto Pinterest. Is it possible to follow you over there? Are you under blue-eyed-bride? Love your blog.
So, after reading the title of your blog post, I’ve finally decided to join Pinterest. Thanks for giving me something else to be addicted to =)
That snacking station is the best idea I’ve come across all week! I will definitely be implementing it in my home. Thank you for sharing!
I have four vegetable/crisper drawers in my fridge, so one is set up like that snack station. It is SUPER easy to just grab what you want. It’s full of yogurts, string cheese, PB crackers, fruit, cut veggies in individual portions and other (non-refrigerated) snacks in ziplocks in individual size portions. SO easy!
Meal planning would be a great addition to my life but not sure I’ll be able to pull it off!
I loved all your Pinterest Picks! I’m dieing to be a member, any chance you have any invites left??
