Turn Errands Into Field Trips to #UnclogYourDay

September 6, 2011 by

#UnclogYourDay $1000 Giveaway

If your house is anything like ours it’s busy and when I say busy, I mean from sunrise till sunset. Some days it feels like we are running nonstop, carting the kids around and checking errands off the list such as grocery shopping, trips to the home improvement store or even projects in the yard. Days like these can put a damper on the quality time we spend with the kids, so we’ve learned to incorporate some fun into these trips and projects.

Trips to the garden center tend to be dirty, heavy and confusing. I don’t know what veggies work in our garden or what kind of plant food Melinda wants. Venturing into the home improvement center can be a great learning opportunity for teaching the kids about fix-it projects and tool recognition — providing a little lesson in tools and supplies. I can remember taking similar trips with my father when I was young, and they certainly were able to help me later in life. It makes me feel good as a dad when the kids want to be involved in what I am doing and want to take a ride to wherever I’m going.

While it would be easier and faster to just run these errands by myself, we need to realize they offer quality time with the kids. Best of all they enjoy going and we have a good time together.

A Family Calendar can help #UnclogYourDay

August 30, 2011 by

#UnclogYourDay $1000 Giveaway

Blogging, work, child care, vacations, appointments, school functions, conference calls, football, concerts, play dates, parties and field trips – these are just a few of the things we need to keep track of on a daily basis.

We are a busy family. There is a lot to do and it’s easy to get tripped up and forget something. A family calendar is something I’ve been utilizing for many years. Ours is posted in a central location (the kitchen) where we can all see it at a quick glance, and also add things as they come up. There is no excuse to not know what is on the agenda for the day, week or month. The key to keeping a family calendar is discipline. It doesn’t work if you don’t update or read it. Even the youngest members of the family (who may not be able to read yet) can recognize birthdays, beach days, dentist appointments and sleepovers by using a sticker system. Small visual identifiers can be used to keep the non-readers involved and prepped for the upcoming week.

Along with the family calendar I have my own personal planner that is accessible from my smart phone, iPad, and laptop. If I’m ever somewhere without one of those things (which is highly unlikely) I’m able to access it from any computer. I can schedule blog posts, phone calls, reviews and deadlines in one spot. With the family agenda plastered on the kitchen wall and my personal to-do list at my fingertips, there is no reason to stumble through a day.

#UnclogYourDay by Keeping Tools Close at Hand

August 16, 2011 by

#UnclogYourDay $1000 Giveaway

Being a father to a teenage daughter, eight-year-old-boy and three-year-old little girl, you can bet I always need to have tools close by to fix whatever they decide to break that day.

I have two huge tool boxes in the garage filled with wrenches, sockets, screwdrivers, Allen wrenches and other random things. I have no idea what some of the tools are even for but don’t want to toss just in case I need them to fix something around the house. In addition to the surplus in the garage, I have screwdrivers strategically placed in drawers around the house along with flash lights and Allen wrenches because you never know when duty calls and I need to make a quick repair before bed or during dinner.

One tool that is essential with three ladies in the house is the Drano® Snake Plus. You can only imagine the amount of hair that goes down the drain on a daily basis. Since Sabreena has heavy, thick, long hair, Drano® is the only solution to my often clogged drain problem.

Having tools and keeping them handy is essential in running a smooth household and doing it quickly. It isn’t cleaning, cooking or putting the kids to bed but my duties as handy-man are necessary to keeping this house safe and in working order.

Bumps and Hurdles and the Way to Unclog Your Day – Giveaway

UnClog Ur Day $1000 Contest courtesy of Drano

For some families summer means vacations, relaxing by the pool, playing a bingo game and sleeping in. However, things are different at our house.
