If you know me at all, you know that I am an ardent fan of Sharon Penman, breakfast tacos, and LISTS. If I can splot something out on a spreadsheet and get it out of my busy brain, everyone wins, especially the part of my mind that really needs more space for catchy music to which I don't always know all the lyrics, but I still can't get out of my head.
I make lists for my kids all the time. Then, if they forget something, there's no way they can blame me. Was it on the list? Yes. Was it your responsibility? Yes, but. BUT NOTHING BABY SHARK do-do-do-dooo-do BABY SHARK.
If the list were for longer than just one or two weeks, I would add checkboxes on the left and laminate it so that the kids could mark off the entries with dry erase markers every day. This is what I do for their morning chore charts. But tennis camp is just one week and most of the stuff is fairly logical, so naked paper it is.
10yo and I sat down and made a list of the things he would need each day for tennis camp based on what the coordinators suggested and from personal experience. Now, every night before camp, it's on him to sort out his sh*t. When he's done, the list gets pinned to the corkboard by the kitchen, ready for the next day.
I've saved this at the bottom of a long-living google doc that is called "Tasks for Today" which is a running and dynamic bulleted list of... tasks for today. And for tasks due in the short term. That's why it says Page 2 at the top. Page 1 is for non-tennis camp related tasks like "Learn all the words to that new Elle King song and stop embarrassing your kids at stoplights by belting out incorrect lyrics or randomly yodeling with the windows down." Both DH and 10yo have access to this doc. I won't lie, I'm a little surprised that 10yo hasn't added sneaky, cheeky additional tasks for me like "Buy 300 dollars' worth of Xbox Live tokens for 10yo"
You can see the ever-present luggage labels (in orange) on practically every damn thing. Plain sticky labels are pulled into play here again on the water bottle, larger tennis racquet, and (unseen) in the book jacket. Oh! Which reminds me, Zazzle are having a 50% off sale on stickers right now! They're not dishwasher safe or great in moisture (so not really appropriate for tennis racquets), but they're FANTASTIC for labeling laptops, books, and stationery cases. Full disclosure: I'm not sponsored by Zazzle, but they do own the company for which I work. Shoe labels are by Mabel's Labels, I believe, but they're not always awesome on rubber soles.
Stay tuned for the Overnight Camp advice post, coming in the next week. It's an OCD doozy.
And if you've never read a Penman novel, you really should.
