Today is the first of the month. Take some time to plan. Get your household notebook or time notebook and schedules - newsletters etc and take an hour to plan. It may take longer than an hour but usually 1-3 hours pays off hugely in time saved - appointments kept - celebrations remembered etc.
Looking at our month we have two birthdays - a soccer tournament - church activities - Mother's day. I need gifts for our mothers - a plan for Birthday days - to throw a birthday party - time for gymnastics and soccer. I need to plan a menu for bigger breakfasts when dh is on nights and bigger dinners when he is on days. We have a friend or two we were hoping to spend time with so need to plan a day with them. We would like to have someone from church over for dinner so need to plan that. You get the picture.
Planning will pay off in time - money and peace of mind.
Thank you for this information. Many of these ways to spend time with the family that you mentioned I had never thought of. I will be planning some activities for our family based on your suggestions.

I posted my comment on the wrong blog post. I meant to post it on the one about season passes.
