Make Checklists: Check!

I did it. I made two checklists.

I made one for the pool and I made one for the park.

It took me forever to sit down with a pencil and paper to actually get them started, but this seems to be truth: the hardest part of doing anything is actually to start doing it.

Once I had done them, I had a silly creative idea that maybe I could make them look pretty, too. By including images, I might even be able to trick my boys into helping out!!

While this may be of zero interest to you, I am pretty darn proud of how my checklists turned out, so I am going to share them with you here!!

On my Summer Project Dashboard, I made an entry for the making of checklists. Each week this summer, I want to make one checklist that will make my life, particularly the administration of my family life, easier.

We need a checklist for setting the table before a meal. We need one for going to the skatepark. We need one for getting ready to leave for school. We need one for cleaning the bathroom. I suppose it wouldn’t be a sin to make one which includes all the documents I need to do our taxes, which every single year seems like I am starting over from scratch.

With twelve weeks this summer, I should be able to menopause-proof and child-proof some of the more irritating parts of my daily life by making those checklists.
