Spark joy with these winning organizational printables for kids and adults. Make your life easier with checklists, menu plants, creative to do lists, and twists on the modern chore chart!

Organizational Printables for Kids and Parents

The key to making things run in our home of seven, is staying organized. I have years of teaching to thank for that. Binders, command centers, checklists and more, we have a plethora of ides and free printables to help kids and adults get organized!

Print Outside Your Home

When printing, I prefer to use print services like Staples. It saves on my ink and paper needs and I can pick it up from the store. Print in bulk for items that you might need printed often (grocery lists) and have items laminated to reuse over and over for items like daily checklists!

Listen, this busy mom binder has everything you need all in one place – I am not kidding! Quote form Kimberly ” Oh my goodness! This makes my mama heart so happy. After every page I thought “this is perfect, I wish it had xyz”… and then it showed up! 😱”

We couldn’t find this printable, so we had to make it (for you and us!) Print on cardstock and either laminate or have many of these Post-It Notes Downloads (Goal and To Do Lists). Use sticky notes and take on and off as assignments are complete. These are made for 3″ x 3″ Post-It Notes. Add to your family command center or office.

The computer and tablet (no phones yet!) have over taken our home. These Kid Incentives Child Screen Time Tickets are printables for helping you resolve screen time. Tickets for 5 to 60 minutes. Combine tickets for more!

Moving across the country was a a nightmare. Moving to a house next door, possibly less of a nightmare, except that I was extremely pregnant.

Get organized with this Big Goal Planner & Vision Board Template. Dream big and accomplish a larger goal with this step by step template and daily planer. What are your dreams and desires? Achieve goals with this goal planner printable. Enjoy!

Big Goal Planner

I hope you have joined our email list? A a new email subscriber, we have a very special offer on our Busy Mom Binder!

This binder was created for for moms who desire organization. As a benefit, it was also created for moms to give the {pointer} finger to when someone in the house asks about a calendar, schedule, to do list, etc. It is your family command center in one space, an easy accessible family organizer.

Watch this video to learn more about the Busy Mom Binder! 👇

Goal Planner Printable

Want to try a piece of this printable family command center? I have a gift for you, mom. If you have been waiting to try our Busy Mom Binder, you can get started with this Big Goal Planner.

I figured when organizing the kids for Back to School, it would also be a nice printable organizer for you too! I have honestly used it for many things – what some would consider big goals and what others might consider small goals. You can personalize it to yourself.

Use this Goal Planner Template as a road-map to get you to your final achievement.

Short Term Goals Examples

Goals can create habits. Take a look a few long and short term goal examples

“Control my spending”

“Write a children’s book”

“Read more books”

“Call my mom”

“Loose 10 pounds”

“Deep clean the kitchen”

“Redo a child’s room”

Sometimes small and long term goals can feel very daunting. In order to achieve that goal, it is important to break it down into baby steps or short term successes. For this Big Goal Planner, we added three baby steps to achieve a giant leap.

Let me give you an example of how we created short term goals to create my daughter’s final {pre} teen bedroom makeover.

This big goal crusher might have not been necessary except that is was good planning for my child and helped her see the completion of a bigger picture by setting goals in smaller baby steps.

First, Dream Big. Take your biggest goal and begin to organize your vision planner. Write your big picture as the big goal. Give yourself a reason to accomplish this goal – why are doing it?

Let’s begin Goal Setting. Next, split your goal into smaller short term goals and write down the dates that you accomplish daily goals to get you to those three small term goals. Daily planning and adding dates helped my child (and myself) with time management. Once these three short term goals are complete, your big goal should also be accomplished.

Are there areas of your life you wish to change? Wish to improve? Let’s get started…

Vision Board Template Printable

What are your dreams and desires? Reading to create a vision board for your big goal. Having a vision board doesn’t have to be magazine cutouts, teenage dream boards, an over-sized poster board, or in marquee lights. It can simply be a daily, monthly or weekly goal organizer pinned to a home office cork board, added to your refrigerator or placed inside your family organizer.

Home Staging Checklist, Tips & Ideas

Clean, declutter and depersonalize with this printable Home Staging Checklist PDF. Follow these Home Staging Ideas, Tips and Hacks to cheaply improve home value, make a space warm and inviting, and welcome buyers providing a space they love and want to live!

Home Staging Checklist

So… we did it! In five years, we moved four times. You might think we are a military family, but we aren’t. You might think we are crazy, well we are! Our first move was from Florida to Virginia. Our next three moves took place in Virginia. The process was very different in each state. While the process of changing utilities, closing accounts, and hiring movers was the same, I found the home staging process to actually be far from the same.

We (currently) live outside the District of Columbia where land value is very high. Not only is the cost of land quite extreme, the market moves very quickly. Because of this, many people do not stage their home. We learned this having searched for homes well over a (combined) year. Having come from Florida, I decided to treat my Virginia Home Staging ideas just like I had in Florida. With this mindset, my husband and I made generously over five figures on our last house in just 3 years time.

Home Staging Printable and Tips

—> Get your Home Staging Checklist PDF or read Home Staging Tips & Ideas below.

Let me share my Home Staging Tips with you and what I learned for selling a home while making only a few low cost weekend home improvements.

See Home Staging Tips & Ideas

What do I need for home staging?

The first thing you need before selling your home is a friend (or a realtor.) Someone needs to walk through your home with a second set of eyes. It’s easy to get offended with changes in your home decor, but don’t take it personally. Take it as if a buyer was walking through your home and trying to envision themselves living there.

Second, get ready to declutter and depersonalize. Consider renting a storage unit and adding additional clutter or asking a friend to store some things in an extra room they might have. Another idea is to go ahead and start packing and rent a POD to store your personal effects until you move. We found this a great solution for staging and also for moving many of our personal items.

For traditional home staging, consider the following items…

Vase of flowers – Flowers are warm, bring positive emotions, and can add color to a space or room.
Mirrors – These can replace family prints, open up smaller spaces, and bring light to a room.
Bowl of fresh fruit – Fruit allows visitors a healthy bite, also bring organic element to the home.
Pillows – Pillows bring a pop of color and life to a master bed or worn living room couch.
Throw blanket – Blankets will bring a place of warmth and intimacy. They invite a buyer to feel cozy and at home.
Indoor plants – Faux is fine. Add to places you want to stand out ad they attract buyers eyes.
Lights – Add dimmers or grab some cheap lamps at second hand stores to brighten a room. Turn on all lights before you leave for a showing.
Flameless candles – Candles add a glow and make a place feel warm.
Curtains or drapes – Get rid of unsightly blinds and window treatments and add long drapes which can bring height to a room and space.
Baskets – Baskets are perfect for holding pillows, rolled blankets and/or bathroom towels.

What is soft staging?

If a home is empty, you can consider hiring professional stages. Another option is to save money and soft stage. What is soft staging? Soft staging a empty house is a technique that does not require furniture but uses simple decor pieces and accessories like framed art, rugs, smaller chairs, mirrors, vases, and more. This process can be more cost effective and can be used in home staging for a quick sale.

Some want to know if it better to stage a house or leave it empty? The answer is it can depend. Sometimes with soft staging it can be hard for a buyer to picture themselves inside the home. Other times, it offers a buyer a blank slate and they can envision their own furniture and home decor. If leaving a home empty, ask your realtor about virtual home staging solutions for home photos on MLS listings and real estate apps like Redfin and Zillow.

What brings down property value?

If your a mom of five (like me) this was one question that I wanted answered – does a messy house affect an appraisal? There answer is no. The cleanliness of a home has no impact on the value. This means if your home appraiser is coming over, it is kind to pick up the toys off the playroom floor, but it doesn’t affect the home value he/she puts on the appraisal. However, if your clutter (think hoarders) affects the structural condition of your home, your home appraisal value can decrease. Make sure to make those home improvements before an appraiser comes or be ready to get dinged in your home appraisal and home inspection report.

Many things that affect the property value of your home are out of your control. Examples include proximity to train tracks, power lines, busy roads, noise pollution, the neighborhood, the market, and a home’s usual upgrades. If your home has some of the things that bring property value down, it is important for you to create a space a buyer “has to have!”

What adds most value to a house?

Want to know something funny? I am the frugal blogger but my husband is actually better than me at improving the cost of our home. Especially when it came to decluttering, landscaping, painting, and updating kitchen appliances.

A few things I learned that improve the value of your home. First, we invested in having the lawn cleaned up. We did this before photos. I also painted the front door. Actually, it was solid wood so I just used this UV Wood Polish (see photo below – top done, bottom not finished.) It made the home look a million times better. These two things brought instant curb appeal and positive first impressions.

Next, we knew we would be moving soon, so when our dishwasher broke we actually replaced all of our kitchen appliances so they were matching. You can sell your old working appliances on Facebook marketplace and make a few dollars back. We had these appliances under warranty so that was an added bonus when listing the home. How did we find these pieces for less? We asked our real estate agents who they used for appliances when flipping homes. We used the same services. Another idea is to check with Home Depot for Kitchen Appliances Packages.

We took a week to repaint our kitchen cabinets and brighten up the kitchen. Since we did this about five months before we moved, we spent one late night touching up small nicks and scratches before home photos and putting the home on the market.

Another thing, it’s often suggested to repaint the home with neutral colors. Only repaint rooms where paint colors are very extreme (i.e. bright red or hot pink.) We actually used Mr. Clean Dry Erasers to wipe down the walls of smudges and scratches. Where Mr. Clean did not improve the wall, we used a very small paint brush to fix dings and nicks.

If your budget allows for bigger home improvement projects, take a look at this list of the best ways to add value to your home.

Best Ways to Add Value to Your Home

This list will have a home staging cost in the thousands, but will bring a bigger return.

Finish an unfinished basement or cellar
Apply for planning permission (additions,
Remodel the kitchen
Bathroom addition
Add a deck
Open the living space
Exterior home makeover and refresh
Replacing carpeting

Are these large home improvement projects too expensive? That is okay. There are many low cost home staging options too!

How do I prepare my house for sale checklist?

Why are you here? You want to sell your home for more while spending less. I can help. I have done it. I have done it effectively. I have done it again (with five kids.) If you too want to make profit on your home sale, you will this useful access guide to home staging.

Download your preparing your home for sale checklist PDF. Use it as your cheap home staging resource before you have home staging photos taken or put your home is placed on MLS listing. Just a few simple low cost home improvements can look like “a million bucks!” Watch the value of your home improve, perhaps sell over asking like we did!

The Instant Pot pressure & multi cooker makes dinner in 30 minutes or less, as if you had your meal cooking in a slow cooker all day. Is Instant Pot worth it? What size Instant Pot do I need?

Instant Pot Cheat Sheet

Growing up, did your mother love her pressure cooker? I remember how much my mother insisted I had a pressure cooking added to my wedding registry. You know what, in the 10 years of ownership, I used it twice. I was terrified every time I used it too. Then came the Instant Pot changing the pressure cooker experience for us all!

Make Life easier with America’s beloved Instant Pot, the programmable pressure & multi cooker. This kitchen appliance speeds up cooking time exponentially using up to 70% less energy.

Is Instant Pot Worth It?

Is Instant Pot worth it? It really depends. If you are someone who would rather prep a meal in the morning and let it cook all day, The Slow Cooker might still be your best friend. However, with the Instant Pot, you can still get that savory, slow cook taste in 5 to 30 minutes! If you are someone who prefers 30 minute (or less) meal preps in the evening, this programmable pressure & multi cooker is your solution!

Instant Pot Sizes

First let’s talk Instant Pot Sizes. For me, this is actually really important. We are a family of seven (with four hungry boys and two pre-teens), so a Instant Pot Ultra Mini is going to be terrible for my family. Instant Pot comes in three sizes so it’s really important to discover which Instant Pot is best for my family.

What Size Instant Pot Do I Need?

Help! Which Instant Pot is right for me? Figuring out which cooker works best for your family can be tricky and the Instant Pot website is actually very helpful.

The first thing you need to ask yourself is how big an Instant Pot do you need? It is important to know, there are three Instant Pot sizes – Mini, 6 quart and 8 quart. Within each sizing, there are four to eight different styles and features. That means, currently, there are 17 different Instant Pot Sizes and Styles. How do you possibly choose the right one?

Sizes of Instant Pot

Instant Pot Sizes include 3 quart, 6 quart and 8 quart.

3 Quart Mini Instant Pot Size

Preparing food for 1 or 2 people, the 3 quart mini is your size. Ideal for cooking rice or vegetables on the side.

6 Quart Instant Pot Size

The most popular Instant Pot Size is the 6 quart. This pressure cooker big enough to cook meals for a family of 3 to 6 people.

8 Quart Instant Pot Size

This Instant Pot 8 quart is great for large families, parties and gatherings, or weekly meal prep.

Instant Pot Directions

You can find many Instant Pot Recipe Directions in our Instant Pot Recipes and Instant Pot Dinner Recipes.

Each of those recipes include time listed directions, however we have the ultimate list of Instant Pot Directions. The directions list all the possible things you could want to cook in your Instant Pot plus Instant Pot cooking times.

Instant Pot Meat, Seafood & Eggs
Instant Pot Rice & Grains
Instant Pot Vegetables
Instant Pot Dried Beans, Legumes, & Lentils

Example Instant Pot Directions include

Instant Pot White Rice (1 cup water:1 cup rice) 5 minutes
Instant Pot Whole Chicken (1 lb), 8 minutes
Instant Pot Sweet Potato, 4 minutes
Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs, 5 minutes
Instant Pot Potato, 4 minutes
Instant Pot Black-Eyed Peas, dry 15-18 minutes, soaked 4-5 minutes

Instant Pot Cheat Sheet Printable

If your family wants to add quick and easy dinners to your weekly menu plan, an Instant Pot Pressure Cooker is, of course, a very helpful kitchen appliance. Being a busy mom and needing all the mom tips and tricks I can get, I bring to you the Instant Pot Cheat Sheet Printable. I keep a copy of these Instant Pot Tips in my Recipe Binder. (Another suggestion would be to laminate this cheat sheet and keep it beside your air fryer. Laminating this instant pot tip guide will keep it clean and easy to wipe.)

30 Day Gratitude Challenge PDF

Have you taken the November Gratitude Challenge? Basically every day in the month of November you list one thing you are grateful for. I have tried to do this every November and it is great way to enter and approach the holidays? However, it isn’t enough. With the end of the school year, crazy schedules and the approach of summer, I admit, I need another gratitude challenge.

So I am taking the May 30 Day Gratitude Challenge. Honestly this can be done any month, but I am approaching it this May through the chaos of different season, a season other than November. There are many ways I have approached the gratitude challenge in the past. I have done it with no direction, just thinking of a reason to be thankful every day. I have done it alphabetically thinking of something I am thankful for that starts with an A, the next day B then all the way to Z. This Summer 30 Day Gratitude Challenge I am approaching with themes.

Gratitude Challenge Ideas

Let’s talk a themed gratitude challenge. Each day for 30 days, you focus on finding people or things, you’re grateful to have in your life, and then you express your gratitude for them. By the end of this 30-day gratitude challenge calendar, you will have created a solid gratitude habit!

Gratitude Challenge Ideas and Themes include:

Every single day in the month, write down the following areas of thanksgiving in a gratitude journal or even on your daily/weekly planner. They could even be discussed with your family member over dinner.

Day 1: Home
Day 2: Family
Day 3: Time
Day 4: Books
Day 5: Heritage
Day 6: Pet/Animals
Day 7: Life
Day 8: Memories
Day 9: Traditions
Day 10: Freedom
Day 11: Passion
Day 12: Work/Business
Day 13: Music
Day 14: Nature
Day 15: Health
Day 16: Travel
Day 17: Knowledge
Day 18: Kindness
Day 19: Love
Day 20: Faith
Day 21: Technology
Day 22: Art
Day 23: Laughter
Day 24: Self Care
Day 25: Creativity
Day 26: Comforts
Day 27: Opportunities
Day 28: Adventures
Day 29: Friends
Day 30: The Past

Every day for the next 30 days, celebrate something related to the theme of the day. Take a photo, journal about it, discuss it over dinner conversation with your family or share it on social media.

Turn life’s greatest lessons, aka lemons, into lemonade.

Thankful Mom Hack: When my kids (or I) cannot sleep, I tell them to go through the letters A to Z listing the things they are thankful for or want to pray over. This is similar to counting sheep only keeps them focused in gratitude or prayer before dozing off.

Do you find yourself in a school year rut? Have a great start to the back to school season with these lunch and snack prep essentials. Download a weekly school lunch planner, printable lunch notes, and a list of healthy lunchbox ideas for kids. Enjoy!

School Lunch Planner

If the end of last school year taught me anything, I taught me to plan our meals. Meats were out of stock, I was ordering groceries online and in order to not waste food or to have enough of what we like, I had to plan our meals. It is not that I didn’t plan before, but I was able to spread our food out and use it for the best purpose. I felt like a pioneer woman on a home school prairie.

I am taking that meal planning a step further as we head back to school with a weekly lunchbox planner. This will allow me to assign food to days before it goes bad, for me to pack non perishable food ahead and for me to use all the foods we have before opening something new.

School Meal Planning List

Included in our School Lunch Planner are…

Pantry Inventory List
Shopping List
Prepping List
Notes List

Each day is also listed Monday to Friday and includes what to pack for snacks and lunch.

I wanted to supply you with a list of healthy lunch box kids idea. As the year goes on, creativity goes out the door. Below are ideas you can add inside your child’s lunch.

Drinks

Water
Milk
Juice
Sports Drink

Note: Some schools only allow peanut free lunches. This would eliminate some weekly lunchbox ideas.

How to Store Lunch Box Notes

I have collected lunch box notes for years. With five kids, I hate reprinting new notes every year. To preserve these notes, I laminate my printables.

I have owned Scotch™ Thermal Laminator for ten years and it is still going strong.

I store both my lunch box notes and lunch box labels in a gallon sized Ziploc bag. This bag is stored by our lunchbox supplies including thermos, bento boxes and sandwich bags and more.

Need a Kitchen Cheat Sheet? We have a perfect Baking Conversion Chart Printable with both Volume Conversion and a Temperature Conversion Formula which is displayed beautifully as Kitchen Printable Wall Art or resourceful in your Recipe Binder for easy access.

Baking Conversion Chart

One of our most loved posts is Baking Hacks and Tips. Because this post is so frequented, we had to find a resource that was perfect for it’s visitors. Thus, I created this Baking Conversions Printable Chart for you to instantly download and save to your 8.5 x 11 Recipe Binder or hang on your kitchen wall.

Baking Conversions

Quarts, pints, cups, ounces, milliliter, tablespoons, teaspoons – it’s all Greek (measurements) to me. Is the baking drawer your toddler’s favorite kitchen drawer? Seriously, I am always missing a baking tool or two! Lost to the toy box gods (small g – wink.) Because of this, I am always having to adjust how I measure my baking ingredients.

If this is the same story for you, this baking conversion chart PDF will be your best friend. You can even frame it and display it as decorative, yet effective kitchen printable wall art.

Temperature Conversion Formula

Is converting from the metric to customary temperature measurement (and visa versa) a challenge? Did you know that most people just add or subtract 32 to get from Celsius to Fahrenheit and don’t get a precise conversion? The Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion formula is actually a little more complicated than that.

Look at these Conversion Formulas for temperature, to get an exact number.

Celsius to Fahrenheit Conversion Formula

F = (C × 1.8) + 32

Fahrenheit to Celsius Conversion Formula

C = (F – 32) x 0.5556

But don’t worry, this is not middle school math. You don’t have to remember that. We have the Temperature Conversion Formula on our Baking Conversion Cheat Sheet Printable PDF.

Baking Conversions Printable

Want to access our Baking Conversions Printable?! We have two options for you. You can instantly download the Baking Conversion Printable alone or you can get a set of three and add in the Instant Pot, Air Fryer, and Baking Conversion Chart in one happy bundle.
