Habits of a Homemaker: How I Keep my Life together (most days) // My Calendar System

[@ShellyJohnson-xs1mf]

I would love for you to share more about how you & your husband work as a team with regard to budgeting & bills. In our home we have always just had one of us do it all based on the season of life we are in but I really love the idea of doing it together 😊

[@kdwerner]

Thank you SO much for sharing your meal planning template! I used it to make my own for our family. This has totally changed the way I think about meal planning! Thank you for helping reduce my decision fatigue

I’m so glad!!

I’m a big Erin condren paper planner girl🎉. It works for me

Love Google calendar for our family things and appointments! Love the colors for each family member for appointments and the ability to custom repeat events ❤

[@Lifewiththecanos]

I use three different calendars as well. It really is a great way to keep everyone in the family organized!

[@AnnaBruceblog]

It really is!

[@samanthalinney6812]

Wow so super organised great tips here ❤

[@AnnaBruceblog]

Thanks!

[@brittneyesprit7947]

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for! Thanks for sharing! ❤

[@AnnaBruceblog]

You are so welcome!

You can actually put your work calendar on Google calendar too! You can add a calendar so you can just tick if you want it to show just your family calendar, or work calendar or both. 😊 If you're concerned about family members getting bugged with schedules they don't really need to see on there, husband can have a separate Google account and you can just sync the home calendar with his but keep the work related one to yourself. 😊 Love Google calendar too!

That’s so cool!

I am a pen and paper gal. However, my oldest has a medical condition and tons of doctors appointments to keep track of. I use my goggle calendar and invite my husband to the calendar events. I also keep a travelers notebook planner as well. That’s my whole life: meal planning, grocery list, cleaning tracker, our household budget, and a quick log for my daughter and journal her symptoms.

I’ve tried lots of planning systems over the years. It seems to change every year as I grow in my parenting/homeschooling and as my kids grow too. I do some similar things as you and I soo appreciate the fresh ideas too!! Thank you!

[@AnnaBruceblog]

Haha yes! I feel like this will be ever evolving

[@jessicanacci1]

I love your meal plan, i'm thinking about doing it in my home too.

[@AnnaBruceblog]

You should!

[@jmel4]

I use 3 or so planners as well 😅

[@Barron37]

Your channel has grown so much!! Congratulations!! As always thanks for the tips ❤

[@AnnaBruceblog]

Thank you!

[@alysiarich7620]

Love your tips! I have used a Plum Paper Planner for years, but recently found Anchored Women’s SOS planner and I’m totally hooked! I have a homeschool planner from Etsy that I love. I put all my planners in a discbound system so they’re super flexible! I really want to do a home binder but I haven’t done it yet.

[@AnnaBruceblog]

Finally checked that out. It’s really cool!

[@dshack7679]

@alysiarich7620 have you found a good paper to print your SOS on? I LOVE her layouts! I’m such a paper snob, 😂 and don’t know where to turn for a nice EC- slightly toothy paper dupe, that I can DIY print on with my disc system.

[@alysiarich7620]

@@dshack7679 I was a long time EC user until I switched to PP and it took a bit to adjust to the smooth paper! Now I love it and that’s what I print on (I can look up the exact kind if you’d like) but I don’t know where to point you for paper with a bit of grit!

[@dshack7679]

You’re awesome! (I’m a Plum Paper fan as well! ) I’d love your recommendation for a nice paper that handles the pen and highlighters 😊 . Thank you!

[@jylfearn4840]

We have a larger paper calendar in our hallway that helps us all know what’s happening. I try to use my calendar on my phone but because my phone is in silent mode that doesn’t work well 😂

[@AnnaBruceblog]

Great ideas!

[@beegirl8440]

I have been using a bullet journal for a couple years now and it completely changed my life! 💖

[@HomeSweetHomeschoolLife]

I don’t think you are crazy at all. I have a bunch of planners myself.

[@AnnaBruceblog]

Phew ok good! 😂
