Hello and good morning welcome to Its A Mom Life.

This month sure is just being a wonky one. With it being half over already all I think is where did my days go?
I had set  out Monday with goals, and I was determined to do so. The last couple days I tried as much as I could to get some of the annoying tasks done. And you know what I actually got more done this week then I thought.
Sitting back and looking at the lines threw my to do list, I’m happy. That’s what counts right?
The last three days were busy. I ended up getting:

There is always Laundry!

It’s only socks! 😩

Toddler clothes for now and next size up which I keep in his bedroom 😁

Floors needed a good mama scrub ❤

 Yap I’ll give myself a pat on the back. This week turned into a pretty productive week.
How did yours turn out?
I even made a special lunch date for hubby and I today.
Steak and baked potato😍
I will be sharing a post on how I did a wonderful sheet pan steak! Another big game changer for cooking I feel anyways lol!

We also got out for a drive Wednesday, hubby had a appointment in the city Thursday, and i had an evening meeting.
Lots happened this week.

With all of that I feel better going into the weekend, and I’ll tell you why!
The family was supposed to be gone for basketball tournaments both days this weekend.
Instead the hubby is taking the kid that is playing, while the other is staying here with me and the little ones.

I have mama guilt on this, however knowing I don’t need to manage 3 kid’s at a game, but get more stuff done is ok too in my mind.

Make sure you are following so you can catch the blog about the weekend!
I aim to get more chopped off the list as I hopefully will have a little more time then.

I hope you had a great week. I am excited for the upcoming blogs, hopefully filled with baking and Easter fun!

Let me know in the comments down below what are you doing for Easter?
Travelling or staying at home?
I look forward to talking soon with so much fun topics.
Until next blog!

Hello and good morning welcome to Its A Mom Life, if you’re new make sure you go ahead and hit that follow button so you don’t miss any fun here on the blog. Welcome back if you’re a follower this was a busy week.
Do you ever wonder sometimes just why you have your list’s or routines? This week everything went wonky, as I had said in the last blog.
The routines were not happening, I was doing the kids chores just to make sure it got done a little better, my list just kept growing, and not much was getting crossed off! All part of a busy mom schedule but still annoying.

When Sunday was here and we were doing the prep for the week, I had decided I needed to prep me also, lol so I didn’t over clean and I took a nap!😮
Now you see I sometimes will feel bad about this, as like I said my whole week was a flop. But, when mama isn’t on her game lots of balls tend to drop!
Happen to you? If your not on your game things just get hard, so yap I rested and when I got up and shook off the oh boy I could of had so much more done feeling, it was good.
I ended up getting more done after probably more then if I stayed up! With getting the kids lunches prepped, supper done early and house at least picked up, I managed to get my f4idge wiped out, it is a good way to start a fresh week!
So yes my week was better, not slower actually busier then others, but I just felt it was ok and I could handle it. With this mind set I hopped into Monday.

Monday is going to be a good start day, I have to tell myself this stuff as I’m a big believer in mind over matter! Monday, what can I say about Monday, other then it turned into a crazy day again!
I definitely got a good start to everything, as I wanted to.
However I had quickly learned that plans were yet again to change, I had found out that my daughter had an away game not far but still far enough.
With racking my brain on how to get everyone there and back as my son had his martial arts that evening I had it worked out in my head.
Then as after school was approaching it yet again changed.
My husband offered to keep the two boys here, one was still sleeping when I left after school, and with the older one waiting to go to class, he was here to help with the little one. Hubby can’t do to much as he has a cast on.
Please note I’m still getting used to him here to help with the kid’s, it was usually where mommy went the kids went. I am trying to accept help and rather enjoying it I must admit lol.
Long story short, everyone made it to and from where they needed to go.
With a super fast macaroni and hotdog supper for the kid’s as martial arts don’t end till 6:30, it gets to be late and fast.
It helped making sure the house was picked up the night before to.
So Monday was a fast paste good day, with not as much off my to do list done. Just basics still helps keep things moving here.
I got some laundry washed and folded. Laundry everyday here, on going task.
I did also manage to get all our winter stuff packed up, and yes totally forgot to get pictures again but, I stored them in vacuum seal bags which are perfect for bulky stuff. I will also point out they are from the dollar tree, so for a $1.25 they are perfect in my mind.

As Monday rolled into Tuesday, it was another busy day away from home.
Running to the city for a grocery pick up, which also a huge game changer.
Have you tried grocery pickup?
What do you think about it?
I love it, as I don’t have to haul kids in and out and worry about so much.
Supper was in the slow cooker… check out my Facebook page Kandis Blask for more on the supper, we had parent teacher conferences and the slow cooker was a life saver that night.
The only thing I really managed to get done on my list was the winter stuff out and into storage(not even put away out there just out of the house). Needless to say it was a good, busy day, not really productive but remember progress not perfection.
Oh I did get my socks organized haha. Yes I was so excited about it.😂

With the next couple days a little more quiet I’m hoping to do more, motivate myself and hopefully you also to just keep rolling.
I will end here as I’m getting ready for another day tomorrow, I’m also working on my next blog also.
Stay tuned for what is happening for the rest of the week. With new changes….. again for the weekend, it should all be great.
I look forward on bringing you along as I aim to help with that spring motivation we all are looking for lol. 😉
Till next blog have a great day and remember every little bit helps even if it does not feel like it now!

Hello everyone how are we today?
My week sure has turned around! It’s funny how little things can make or break it all or at least it seems like it.

With being sick a couple days and things not working how it should of makes this mama a little out of it. I realize girls are emotional but add being sick and lack of sleep on top of stuff not working oh boy it gets crazy lol.
So my week ended up being a little smoother, put on those big girl pants and got some stuff done. Also getting a little sleep, and a fixed washer life was looking up. 😁

My week ended up being productive on Wednesday I ended up getting all the clothes sorted and posted on line to be sold, got my kitchen sorta cleaned lol that is a everyday occurrence right! I also got more make up remover wipes made.I have a post on how to make these!
Then I went to bed shortly after I finally got the baby to bed, what a fairly good night sleep will do!

Thursday waking up feeling better was a great thing as I could breath and then think better! This was the day the hubby got my washer working again ❤ I then made a quick jug of fabric softener also go check out the blog on how I make this, I then “quickly” got 6 loads of laundry done haha 😩 with a mountain left, it was a good dent.
I will be doing a laundry routine blog soon. Let me know if this is something you are interested in seeing, with a big family there is always so much laundry!

I had then also made sure to get at least my sheets changed on the bed, as all I could really do is sweat it all out as a breastfeeding mother there is not really anything to take! So when in doubt sweat it out right? Haha I also sometimes will put Vicks on my feet with thick socks before bed this tends to really work!
Got some good hacks for a quick get well soon let me know in the comments down below, that is always useful information for anyone I believe haha.

Getting some of the house tidied up also helped. With the house not as wrecked it was nice. Heading into Friday it would be a better day, determined to get even more done, for the weekend here! I  even got a late night shower and put rollers in for Friday!😇

Friday was a pretty good day, and it helps when rolling into the weekend. A good Friday is always a great way to start the weekend I think, what about you?

With kiddos home for lunch again from school, it helped break up the time blocks. Other then the 2 years old fell asleep on the couch and woke up at nap time 🤦‍♀️
I ended up getting a bit done never as much as I want, but the house got cleaned up.

No deep cleaning in any means, but a good tidy.
After supper I had a fun dessert for our Friday fun night. They had banana boats, they love them.
Typically it’s for camping and you cook them on coals, but hey they were delicious still!

For this take a banana and cut length ways open slightly add middle with chocolate chips and marshmallows. Wrap in aluminium foil and bake if using oven bake at 350° about 25 -30 minutes. Banana will scoop right out the peel! They are really as good as they sound.

Oh and of coarse I tackled more laundry and proud to announce I’m almost caught up!

How was your week? Get some tasks out of the way, got a mind dump done just got caught up? Let me know in the comments down below!

I am looking forward to a good planner night, with a well deserved mind dump lol. Oh mama goals, am I right?

Till next blog have a great weekend, and a fun dessert!

Welcome back and good morning to Its A Mom Life. How are we today?
This is the start to some new things I would like to try put on the blog. I thought I would take you through some of my week! Hopefully I can motivate you to get some of those nagging tasks out of the way!
This round was the beginning of a new month, a great month, a productive month. What tasks do you have to get accomplished? So what all to do, where to start?
I am starting with the excuse it’s the first day so I better get a running to do list going and have some coffee also. With the running list it can be anything I want to accomplish this month! Then as the week’s roll on the list will get rolled onto the week’s to do list each week, so the first week’s to do will be the months to do goals. Of coarse more will be added as the month goes on, but more will be crossed off.

Hello and good morning it’s Tuesday and I’m actually finishing this blog today, I’m going to do it this way because this blog is all about real life mom life yes?
Well it don’t get more then this lol.
Kids had a long weekend, we had to run to the city yesterday to get more paper work to fill out from the accident, and then I was sick last night!!!! Sore throat, head was going to pop and I’m sitting here telling you all oh new month great time to finish getting all the stuff done haha.
So this week or at least a couple days that to do list is going to get priorarized and the must does are all I’m in for.
Mamma is resting this week, like who has time to be sick!!
So this is were my week sits, my kitchen is crazy as all those boxes are baby clothes I am sorting and selling, my plants need to wait till I get more dirt. That living room can wait as I need to get instance papers done today. And a phone call to get a repair man out for my washer. Ya washer is not working 😨 Yap you want real life I’m here for you this week.

Good morning everyone and welcome back to Its A Mom Life!
This Monday is a little different as it’s not a new challange as with March challenge it’s to just keep moving thought the house week by week, room or category by room or category. This is also  not really a money saving tip per say either.
Any how it’s a good one as it has a little of both in it. I thought I would show you how my week has went with this challenge and what I have been up to! In this blog I will share my two bigger tasks that got done.
First let’s talk about that filing cabinet.😑This is a task that if kept up will not take  long to do. I have been trying very hard the last couple years not to keep it all, so I came to the compromise with my self is to just keep the year before. With my bills anyways yes there is stuff that needs to be kept longer.
So what I try to do is keep one envelope for each bill, then as I pay then they can go I to the proper folder and envelope into the cabinet.
This way at the end of the year I just need to pull the one envelope that has all 12 months in it and shred or burn it. Then the new one can start and the one that was just finished can be the one in the back aka the last years! This is now it can stay next and organized, without discarding them immediately.
The next task that I did this week was my pantry! I wanted to get this done as I’m getting ready to do a bigger grocery haul, and this will make it easier to see what I need to refill and restock on.
Not to much happening in here, I have a couple bins on the top shelf that I use to hold and organize kids and our medications.
I have a small bin for some special kid treats on the top.
I have an old cardboard box that works great this holds my food coloring and sprinkles, extracts etc.
I also have a box in the back corner thst holds extra spices.
Then other then that I have the plastic containers that came from a dollorama store for cereal.
That is about the extent to my organization in the pantry, I look forward to trying to get it a little more organized. Want a closer look at the bins and exactly how I use them all? Let me know in the comments down below!
How do you organize the pantry let me know in the comments down below, would love some knew ideas!
What rooms or categories did you tackle last week?
Did it motivate you to keep going? What is your next task? I would love to hear!
Till next Mondays blog, have a great decluttering week, hope you find the space or things you might be looking for lol.
