5 Printables That Will Make Your Life Easier

Printables are everywhere. From decorating your house to planning your day, printables are hot nowadays. I thought I’d save you an hour of scrolling through all the printables on Pinterest by sharing my top 5 printables– those that make my life a lot easier and look cute at the same time.

  1. Meal Planning Template
    This one is huge for me. I have meal planned for years, but finally found a template that has everything I need and is my style. (Thanks The Happy Housie.) I printed out 52 of these and put them in a 3-ring binder, so I don’t always have to reinvent the wheel. Every few weeks, I can go back and recycle old menus. Feel free to steal the idea.
  2. House Cleaning Template
    I have tried a few ways of cleaning the house, including doing it all on one day and doing one job a day. It took me a while, but this system is the one that works best for me. I created this checklist for all the tasks I have to do and pick the one I want to do on a particular day. Some days I don’t do any, and some days I may do a couple. I like the flexibility.
  3. Babysitter Notes
    I have to admit that I don’t hire a babysitter as often as I probably need to, but when I do, it’s always nice to have a leave-behind for her. It’s hard to remember everything I need to tell her about Francesca’s routine and habits when I’m trying to rush out the door because I know I’m already on the clock. Ha! Thanks for creating this one, Thirty Handmade Days.
  4. Grocery Shopping List
    I have started using an app to keep my grocery shopping list, but sometimes I still go old school and pull out the list. This one is great because it lists all the food categories, which is a must so I don’t end up spending twice as much time at the store going back and forth. It looks like the creator, Hello Cuteness, no longer has a site, so I’m attaching the file here.
  5. Monthly Goals Sheet
    If you’ve read my other blogs, you’ve probably figured out that I am very Type A. So it should come as no surprise that I like to keep my goals somewhere visible so I don’t forget about them. This was the monthly goals template I found that was fun and functional for me.

So, those are my top 5. What about yours?
