Wifey Wednesday - To do lists

As a wife, you are expected to take care of the kids, cook, clean, and so on. I am proud to say that I have so much help with all that. My husband is amazing! He definitely helps with all of those things without me asking. Actually, normally he has to ask me to help him. Growing up, before my mom would leave for work, she would leave me a to do list and it would all get done. As you know, I'm a teacher, so to do lists are a big part of my day! I have found that there are a lot of to do lists out there and finding the one that works for you is important to make sure that all your "stuff" gets done.

One type of to do list is a digital one. At my school, we use gmail. There is a way on gmail that you can create a to do list when you are in calendar and actually check things off when you are done, which I LOVE! Google calls it tasks! This is a good to do list if you are on a computer all the time. Or, you can put your digital to do list on your smartphone. I have done this before but sometimes I forget to mark it off. Now that we are in the digital age, this would probably be a good to do list for most!

I am a very visual learner and love to see things written out and love to write things out, which is why to do lists are so good for me! So, I love written to do lists. There are some great examples on pinterest that I love. Some are for daily planners, weekly planners, or monthly planners. They are colorful and the best part... Most of them are FREE! How could it get better than that?

So, what's on my to do list for today??? Cause I know you are wondering! :)
1. Fold towels
2. Clean off the desk
3. Update teacher website
4. Post blog
5. Call mom
6. Give Ily a bath (Ily is our daughter. Her name is Isla but we started calling her Ily for short!)

I literally put every little thing on my to do list. I think part of it is cause it makes me feel good to mark things off!

So, do you make to do lists and if so, how does it help you make it through your day? Maybe if I get brave enough, I'll actually put my handwritten to do list up one day! They can tend to get long a messy! :) If you have a specific to do list that you love, I would love to know which one!

I guess it's time to go be lovey mommy(wifey) and get to my to do list before little one wakes up!
