It seems that the early years of motherhood are often a training ground for the art of homemaking and home management. Many mothers I know have struggled with the constant mental load involved in caring for children and the home. These years often left me feeling mentally fried at the end of the day, unable to find much energy to reflect on much anything meaningful.
I developed this weekly spread to help myself get a grip around each day, and it has served me beautifully. Features include:
- A free space to brain dump
- A blank to-do section for the week with categories (you fill in your own)
- A seven day spread with four prompts to write in reflections for
- Highlights from the day - significant outings, meals, projects accomplished
- Mother's log - little moments with your children you want to remember
- Nourishment - what you read from Scripture or other writing, ideas you listened to or discussed with others
- Gratitude - this one is self-explanatory :)
