I'm so much more relaxed when I have the menu planned, fruits washed and put in the fridge, etc. It makes life so much easier when you can start that week in good shape.

Such great tips. One thing I also try to do is chop my vegetables for the week while I meal plan so that I am not doing it with the littles tugging at me during the bewitching hour. I also like to get laundry done and out of the way too!

If Monday starts off bad for some reason the rest of the week does not go well for me.<br />I thought the same way as you regarding Sunday dinners...big family dinners. A while back after trying big extended family dinner a few times on Sunday and realizing that they did not work well I started having our own "big" family dinner. I always make a nice dinner and a homemade dessert. The kids always look forward to Sunday night dinners and if they have to miss for some reason they are always a bit sad. I hope this is something they will look back on and remember.Kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04104100135764091440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-460311140317714777.post-62158547632325514892014-02-24T12:38:01.956-08:002014-02-24T12:38:01.956-08:00I absolutely do this on Sunday night.

I don't know why, but it drives me crazy, and every time I complain about it I hear my mom telling my 10 year old self to put dishes in the dishwasher! :) lisamcmilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12773701283708398872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-460311140317714777.post-43436122585511942132014-02-24T11:46:52.894-08:002014-02-24T11:46:52.894-08:00We clean up the playroom on Sunday nights because ...We clean up the playroom on Sunday nights because if we don't, it looks like Toys R Us exploded in there. I am like you, if I start the week off with a big mess than it just stresses me out. I also wash the kids clothes every Sunday so they will be stocked for the week - their towels are usually washed on Saturday. Since Monday is my day on post at the newspaper, I like everything to be in order so I can focus on staff meetings, etc.. We keep shoes by the door and they have their own command hooks in the coat closet by the door so they can grab their own coats and get out the door. I used to do the night-before lunch routine but I am usually comatose by 10pm so I have found that it is easier to do in the morning. Confession: I did not make their beds today. My eye is twitching as I write this. :) Katie @ Team Skelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17635764953803601634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-460311140317714777.post-11704847585951375812014-02-24T11:11:18.759-08:002014-02-24T11:11:18.759-08:00I am not nearly as organized as you...however, my ...I am not nearly as organized as you...however, my MUST for any day is pre set the coffee, have lunch bags out and filled with at least the snacks, and make sure everyone has clean clothes (most likely NOT put away...but clean in bins)...and leave enough time for prayer BEFORE kids come down the stairs at 6am. Meal planning is key too...and I ALWAYS have frozen pizzas or taquitos JUST IN CASE life gets in the way of my perfect plan :-)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15985522830610197074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-460311140317714777.post-11406250740559475512014-02-24T08:21:33.936-08:002014-02-24T08:21:33.936-08:00Love this post.

Having the house picked up, laundry way, etc. is a must. I am so much more stressed when I start the week unorganized. Love what you said about extended family dinners - so true. Although we don't do them often, when we do, our Sunday night and week is much more chaotic.
