Works for Me Wednesday

This sounds like such a simple idea (it is!) but you wouldn't believe how many times I have remembered it and found it helpful.

Every Monday is No Guilt Monday. (I'm a homeschooling mum so my no-guilt Monday may look different to yours but it should still work for you.) Here's what it means for me:

Monday is often a tired-after-the-weekend day. A day the house looks like someone ran through with a stick and knocked things off shelves on purpose. A day of tidying and more laundry and sometimes lack of motivation. So...

It doesn't matter if the TV is on a bit more for the toddler. It doesn't matter if we get takeway (takeout) chips down the road. It doesn't matter if I don't get everything done or do less laundry or wear slippers all day. I don't have to take people out and about. It doesn't matter if dinner is soup.

I hope this helps someone else as much as it has me over the years.

PS I guess you could take it to extremes but it really is meant for encouragement to lighten up a bit and start the week slowly and gently if necessary.
