[quote=Anonymous]Single parent with two kids here (preschool and kindergarten) who works similar hours to you (but my commute includes two pick ups and drop offs).  I don't have the financial resources to make some of the other suggestions feasible for us (e.g., nanny, babysitter, grocery delivery, paper products (plus, the environment)). I do have a cleaning service that comes monthly and have had that for a while. During the holidays I added a kitchen & bathroom cleaning in between the monthly and liked it so much I'm keeping it (for now).

The large monthly calendar in a visible location is key for me, as are calendar alerts on my phone.  I can't stand clutter so I like everything to be picked up and put away before we head upstairs for bedtime routine. My kindergartner helps me with this (still working on the preschooler). Meals are simple. We go to the grocery stores on weekend mornings.  Agree that getting into a routine makes things easier.

Not sure what else would be helpful but happy to answer questions. [/quote]
