We all know that being a Thoughtful Mother is hard work.  Thoughtful Motherhood takes planning, and it takes some tools.  Each week, I'll be listing a few tools in my sidebar that will aid the Thoughtful Mother in her duties, making life more simple and enjoyable.

This week's products are:

Kids Daily Activity Organizer - This is great for clothes or school activities.  As a mom to four boys, I really try to limit our clothing.  Limiting clothing keeps the laundry pile small, and aids in my sanity.  You can read more about my kids' wardrobes here.  This product is a great way to limit clothing and teach your children basic organization.  Purchase one for each child and as part of your Saturday chores, fill it up with clothes for the following week.  Keep a few extra pair of playclothes, and your child's wardrobe is all set.  Read about how Camilla uses her's here.

Gibson has been creating beautiful journals, notecards, and paper items since 1870.  This adorable recipe organizer would inspire any mother to finally organize all those recipes that are stuck in the nooks and crannies of the kitchen.  Being a Thoughtful Mother means making simple meal plans and using tasty recipes that your family loves.  What better way to make dinner inspirational then to store your recipes in a pretty binder.

KidCo Food Mill -  Homemade baby food is so easy and so fun.  When you don't have to time to make large batches of baby food, this awesome hand-mill can turn your family's dinner into your baby's dinner.  Put a few spoonfuls of whatever your eating in the mill. Cranks the handle a couple of times, and your baby has healthy homemade babyfood.  How simple and how thoughtful!
