Sue's Tips For Staying Sane
Time management tips from Sue Dritmanis, Managing Editor of Travel Etc., and mother of two-year-old twins
1. Always try and stay organized. The "go" bag, a backpack filled with everything we need for two kids for a full day, is always ready to go. In it are diapers, plastic wipes, a complete change of clothes, snacks, toys, crayons and paper, spare change to pay for parking, and plastic bags. When I come home from a trip, I restock it.
2. When I grocery shop, I always try to think two meals ahead so I know the ingredients are all in the fridge ready to go for that night, and two nights later in the week.
3. I try to do loads of laundry according to rooms. All the kids' laundry gets done together. All the towels are done together. I hate having to sort, and then fold, and then distribute.
