This review actually encompasses the last two months as at the end of March I reviewed the family budget.
Key Tasks for March/April
- Mr I and myself to go out for dinner (belated wedding anniversary celebration).
- Continue posting three times a week on Planning With Kids, keeping one week in advance.
- Organise the Christening for our new son.
- Complete another bulk menu planning session.
- Send out thank you cards for the birth of our son.
Still uncompleted! We have a hectic calendar for June so I will have to make sure we do this in May.
Just managing to keep up with this one and have found some rhythm in blog posting – naturally I have a little blog time management process that I like.
We held the Christening at the end of March which was beautiful. He has two beautiful Godfathers and we were lucky enough to have family and friends celebrate with us back at our house.
I am now doing monthly menu planning. It is amazing how quickly the weeks turn by, so I have found it to be a more effective use of my time to sit down once a month and bulk plan then.
Completed. Kate from Lazy Cow Designs turned three photos into an amazing postcard for me. It was such a sweet design and family and friends loved them. If you need any invitations, thank you cards, Christmas Cards, etc I can highly recommend Kate!
Key Tasks for May
- Create a project plan for my other project.
- Teach my 10 year old to cook a basic meal.
- Go out to dinner with my husband.
- Visit the Art Gallery with the children.
There is literally dozen more things I would like to add to this list, but I am trying to become more realistic about what I can achieve with my time.
What is on your to do list for May?

So glad the baby cards turned out ok and were appreciated by family and friends… you’ve made my day!
I’ve recently discovered your blog and I’m really enjoying it.
I like that idea of keeping it simple. I am guilty of putting way too much on my list and then finding myself very frustrated when I can’t achieve everything. My month of May is dedicated to getting artwork up in our house. We moved in last November and there’s still barely a picture on the wall!
As far as menu planning goes I am in my last month of a seasonal menu plan – I put together 30 recipes at the start of Autumn and have been rotating them throughout. I found it worked really well. I’m about to start compiling for winter with a few learned updates!

Kate – You do such great work. Already thinking about how I will get photos to send you for my Christmas Card.
Sandra – Sounds like you have a fantastic menu planning process!
