There's SO much more to my Sunday Prep than just getting our food ready for the week! This is the time where I really think through everything on our busy schedule for the week, get my head in the game and focused on what all is coming and how I can best prepare! Not just diet, life, chores, to and from, family time, spouse time, and just being at the ready for anything that might come my way! You can never be too prepared with kids and dogs 
There is almost always poop
, always tears
, often doctors
, many times forgetfulness 
🤦🏻♀️, always disputes 
🤷🏻♀️, stains, lost and found, breakage, wreckage, many lessons learned and less than enough time for all of them!
.
🏽♀️Let's face it, life is busy, it can be overwhelmingly busy, unpredictable and too many times I look up and the day is gone and so many things are left undone...what takes the backseat at your house
⁉️
.
🥗Most of the time people tend to shelf optimal nutrition and order take-out of some sort, right? But so many things tend to be eliminated when we aren't prepared!
.
Self care is definitely one that I sacrificed for a long time! Until I learned that it IS as basic a need as food and water. Whether it's 5 minutes of journalling that fulfills you, a soak, meditation or an hour long super sweat session...make sure that is part of your planning too!
.
Spouse time! Too often we are so busy that we become 2 ships in the night, not often enough making it a priority to take time for just us! As silly as it might sound, we have a standing "date night" where we stay up after we put the kids to bed, enjoy a glass of wine and a Scrabble game. Dorky, right? 
But it's our time together, slightly mind stimulating and so worth it!
.
So, yes...my cutsy little doodle calendars and checklists might look a little silly! Maybe...but I do them every single week, post them and keep them for reference! They are how I start my prep time and work through what I have going on, where I can fit things and many times are when I remember things and end up having to adjust my calendar! Better to remember them and react on Sunday than Thursday night right?
🏼they are a great reference and reminder of weeks past, and if I'm in a jam, I can quick pull an old one and integrate! 
🏼they are a great tool at keeping you on track when they are posted in the kitchen to keep you in check!
🏼So, this is how I kick off Sunday prep each week, with a little doodling, music and getting my head in the game!
