Getting Organized

So, I have a 16 month old that happens to be a very active little boy...  I am a stay-at-home mom and therefore my "free" time is very limited (to say the least).  Not complaining...   Because I LOVE IT!!!  It just makes getting "other things" a little more challenging...  :)

I plan all the crafts for his Beginners Sabbath School class every week...  And it was getting pretty challenging...  So, I decided to get myself organized and make the most out of the little time I had...  And one of the things I did was create a schedule...  I worked on an Excel Worksheet, with dates, activities planned, story, notes, etc.  It looks something like this...

This helps a lot!!!!  I keep it in the classroom and other teachers can actually help when I'm not there...  This way, I have everything planned for months ahead of time :)  I do have a blank copy, if anyone would like :)

I also created files to keep the craft sample and another to keep the 'left overs"...  Which can be used if you ever run out of any activity...  I have the list in PDF format, if anyone is interested I can email it to you (Since I am just figuring out how to do all of this...)

On another note...  If by any chance you like anything you find on any website or blog... and its a free printable - PRINT IT!!!  Preferably, print-to-file...  I have saved the "links" to some of theses materials, to later find out that the webpage is GONE!!!  It just happened with one of my favorite sites!!!!!

I created a folder in my desktop called Children's Ministries...  and I try to SAVE EVERYTHING I CAN :)

Hope this helps!!!
Later :)
