  Goal setting doesn't have to be just for January 1.  A great time to set new goals is when you start a new routine, like when the kids return to school.  Why set goals :  Setting goals gives you something to achieve and look forward to. It helps to motivate you towards your future achievements.  It's easier to see goals when we visualize them .  Maybe you can visualize your goals by closing your eyes; if that doesn't work, try making a vision board .  How to make a vision board : You can take a poster board and put pictures of your dreams or goals, write words, cut words out of magazines, and put up quotes or scriptures to make your vision board a success.  Remember to set long-term and short-term goals.

4  Busy Mom Essentials Being a mom is hardcore. I rarely have time for myself and often have limited time to get ready because I’m taking care of my child, my husband, both dogs and the turtle first.  Sometimes I’m a hot mess, but I try.  I have a few easy essentials that help me keep my sanity. 1. Dry shampoo – This is a huge time saver. If I wash my hair, I have to straighten it and I don’t always have time for that. One way to save time is to wash my hair less often.  It depends on your personal hair needs, but I find using dry shampoo and washing my hair every other day works. I recommend this brand of dry shampoo.  They have full-size and travel-size bottles and different scents.  I like the pink scent best.  However, I recommend the original option if you are sensitive to smells.

What College Students Actually Need for Class A notebook - I like 3 subject ones so that you can use them for multiple classes, but the choice is yours. A Pen A pencil - depending on the class, you may need a number 2 pencil. A Highlighte r- I prefer yellow because you can still easily copy what you have highlighted. The best highlighters I have found are erasable.  Yes, I said it: erasable , they are so cool that I had to buy some extra because my son took my first pack to school to show his friends.

  Why I Always Buy Extra School Supplies If you are anything like me, you want to get the necessary school supplies for the least amount of money. But what about the supplies your child will lose or break? It is super helpful to buy extra supplies like markers, pencils, highlighters, pens, crayons, and especially washable crayons . These things are amazing! Here is an easy way to get some: https://amzn.to/46LbDBU You can donate the extra if your child doesn't need it. Talk to your child's teacher, and I'm sure they will appreciate having the supply for the child in the classroom whose family may be unable to afford it. You can also donate to a local church, after-school program, daycare, or a community fill-the-bus program. *These also make great birthday and Christmas gifts because the parents of the child you are giving them to will secretly thank you. You can pair them with an activity book or coloring book. Legal Disclosure I’m an Amazon affiliate and the lin...
