Happy New Year! Are you happy about starting the year fresh or does the thought of everything ahead of you seem overwhelming? I will be the first to admit that my life is crazy and chaotic and I’ve lost control of most of it! I’m not an organized person by nature but I crave organization and find myself and family a bit more at peace when things are organized.
My New Year’s Resolution (yes, I actually made one and will try to stick to it):
Take back control of my life and get organized!
I can’t do it by myself though. I need help!
I’m excited to implement The 2013 Confident Mom’s Weekly Household Planner. And I want you to join me in getting organized! To celebrate the new year, I’d like to help you organize your life, so I’m giving away this planner to FOUR Sand & Sisal readers.
Where do you struggle in home organization? I struggle just about everywhere. I have four kids and I work full time from home. I’m always surrounded by my mile long to-do list. I sit at my computer and those dirty dishes call my name from the sink. So I leave my work and walk toward the sink, but then I see the pile of papers on the table, and the kids’ shoes on the floor, the trash by the door that he forgot to take out, the counter that needs to be wiped down… when was the last time I cleaned out that pantry? Sound familiar? Where do I begin? The Weekly Household Planner lays it all out for me in easy and manageable bites. It helps me focus to accomplish the tasks I can manage and allows me to not only have time to work but allows for much needed ME time.
In addition to the planner there is also the optional Weekly Household Planner Supplement. It covers the following areas:
- Master Family Planner. Keep track of the entire family’s activities on a daily/weekly basis all in one convenient place.
- Special Occasion Calendar/Gift Planner. You’ll always be prepared for the next birthday or special occasion.
- Holiday Gift Planner Worksheet. Keep track of your holiday shopping list and purchases and what still needs wrapped or delivered. Never forget that well-hidden gift again!
- Babysitter Information Form. This form makes it easy to provide your sitter with all the information he or she needs so you can relax and enjoy your time away.
- Quick Contacts. Helps you keep important emergency contacts available for easy reference when you need them in a hurry as well as frequently used numbers.
- Family Emergency/Medical Information Form. Record your family’s medical and insurance information on this form—it will be easy to find and share with those that need it.
- Website/App List for Kids. An easy way your kids can list the websites they want to visit, or apps or songs they want to buy. This gives you a chance to review first and make sure the content is age appropriate!
- Website/App List for Me. A place to record websites you want to visit or apps you want to buy during your downtime.
- Account Keeper Sheet. Keep track of online accounts, including usernames and passwords. Never get locked out of your account again!
- Weekly Menu Planner/Shopping List. Plan your menus for the week so you arrive at the store prepared and don’t over-purchase.
It’s ok to admit we all could use a little help.
So are you ready to make the commitment to take control of your life for 2013? I did!

I need to organize several areas..playroom, kitchen, bathroom, bookcases, junk drawers…:)
I need to do a better job organizing my kindergarten classroom- filing stuff back. Also, need to do better with my pantry, laundry room, extra mail, and closets! 🙂
I will be moving and many things need to be in order for that to happen.
Organizing itself is something I need to do. I am trying to do better and make it easier to get things done. But this year I will get organized.
Even though everybody calls me “the organized one” I still need help… Would love to give this a go!
I’m pretty organized but this would really make things easier for me.
Staying active (physically) and spiritually (in the Word).
The timing is perfect!! Launching my decorating business this week and finishing my 1st book this month!! Starting my second book in Feb. This would be great!!!
It’s funny, I just posted on FB one of my goals this year is to declutter and get organized, keeping my fingers crossed. Happy new year to you!

In the year 2013 all four of our children are venturing back into the school system after spending some much needed time at home. I also am going to school to become a dental assistant. I am on the hunt for some way to keep everyone not just myself organized while I am constantly on the go. There maybe a surgery sometime during the year and tons of dentist, eye and dr apts so I need to allow anyone in this circle of peoples to be able to go to one spot and know what is going on and be on top of it without me saying this and that:)
I’m pretty organized but still need help getting the grocery shopping and meal planning under control!
I need help “organizing” my work, play, and rest times.

I need to get control of paperwork – and birthday cards! I just made a perpetual calendar for our 39 family members. That should help.
House cleaning. It seems to take up most of my time.
