My first inanimate best friend is a red rubber "licker" or spatula. Best thing for getting every possible miniscule portion of brownie batter out of the bowl. Love it.
My white boards are a close second. I never have enough.
Right now, I have one that is an ongoing month calendar, one for all of our spelling words, one for our daily schedule and my and the family's weekly goals and one for the master plan (my favorite one)!
Realistically, as you can see our "board" daily schedule has a LOT of wiggle room for the kids to do their own, self-directed activities and play. I find that I can look at a board like this and still feel stressed and possibly not being able to accomplish everything because I know that lurking in all those "spaces" are agency-driven awesomeness that I have a hard time keeping up with and trying to fit in my own preparation and studies...not to mention just "being mom" stuff!
