Dunaway Weekly Plan

I have had a few people reach out to me regarding my weekly schedule. I am notorious for lists and planning so I thought I would share my process.

I have 4 things that I print on Sundays and keep handy throughout the week. I used to keep these in my office but I now have them on my refrigerator ( easier access and my husband can see what we are up to)

The first is my shopping list. I leave this up all week so as I think of ideas for next weeks meals, as well as for those odd little things that come up through the week... like pickles and double A batteries. I only grocery shop on Mondays. This cuts down on food expenditures and I loath going to the grocery store with a toddler. Again, I have a lot of people who think it's funny that I plan a week worth of meals. "What if you decide that you want something else? or have a craving for Fried Chicken" I don't change my mind. period. If I want Fried Chicken I put it on the schedule for next week.

Second: My Mommy to do List. This is self explanatory. I always find myself thinking of little bitties that need to be accomplished and I need a place to jot them down. This is a great way to see how productive you have been through the week.... and it doesn't hurt that my husband sees it too. Sometimes he thinks I nap all day and watch Day's of our Lives { let me clarify, I watch Days ( I have since I was 12, and I love it thank you very much)... it's just on in the background while I'm scrubbing the toilets.}

Third and Forth the current Month Schedule and Next Month Schedule.

Through the week:

Monday: Dunaway Day. This is the day that I try to get the majority of the house work done and our schedule set up for a successful week.

Tuesday: Free Day. Taylor and I are open almost all day ( after I clean the bathrooms) I usually plan a morning adventure to the San Diego Zoo or Botanical Gardens for story time. I also schedule all of Taylor's appointment, doctor, hair cut etc for Tuesday afternoons.

Wednesday: I work on The Pickled Bean for 8 to 3: Kathie our wonderful nanny is here to help me from 8 until noon.

Thursday: Taylor's Gym Class in the am and mommy group in the pm

Friday: I work on The Pickled Bean for 8 to 3, our wonderful nanny is here to help me from 8 until noon.

{ Each individual day is planned out as well. I have constant meal and nap time}

Ok, I'm a little over the top but you asked.... If you would like a copy of my Grocery List and Mommy to Do { I keep these on a great spread sheet} Just shoot me an email. ashleyedunaway@thepickledbean.com
