"My main job is to parent"

I recently discovered the Simple Mom blogger, and I am loving her. She thinks like I do, or actually, like I aspire to think. Many of her posts have really hit home with me and have inspired me to better: better mom, better wife, better organizer.

I read all about her Home Management Notebooks and have started my own. Isn’t it a pretty green?

Here is a snapshot of my to-do list, which was embellished by the Ant Bug.

It feels great to have a functional to-do list again, but I do have to control myself to make sure that the list doesn’t get out of hand. So this post by Simple Mom is a great reminder for me.

She says “My main job is to parent, not to get my to-do list done. Remind yourself today that there are more important things in life than getting things done.”
