I'm sure you find this as no surprise, but I plan out my month as much as I can before it gets here. I usually plan the coming month the weekend before the month starts. I get that I cannot plan everything, but I try and plan as much as I can because it helps me not have to focus on it everyday or every week. I also get more done if I have it planned.
Here is what I plan out for the month:
- Activities that I will do with Hannelore-I mainly follow the routine I talked about in this post. I stick to that routine unless there is an event that we want to go to instead. Then I will switch things around a bit.
- Play dates with Hannelore's friends-this is talked about in the post above as well
- Menu for the month - read all about my menu planning process here
- Dates with my husband and babysitters for those dates - We go on weekly dates. I try and utilize family members when we go on dates, but sometimes they are younger girls that I know that I trust. Read more about my date nights here and here.
- Random acts of kindness for my husband - I take ideas from the "Love Calendar" on The Dating Divas website
- Any other big event that might be coming up
For the first few months that I planned a month in advance I was overwhelmed, but now I have my groove down and I can knock a whole month out in an hour or less! That is for a whole month. Then I do not have to think about it for another month. I love it!

I found this post by visiting the Frugal Friday Link Up Party. Planning is hard when you have a free spirit. I love your tips though! Thanks for sharing!
I WISH I had more of a free spirit! I try.
I plan once a month, too, but it's more carpools, workouts, and karate classes. I wish I did date nights. Maybe that needs to change for me.
