(Low-Energy Edition)
February in Missouri can be gorgeous… and also the kind of month that makes you stare into the pantry like it owes you answers. Here are a few “works-on-a-Tuesday” strategies that keep the week moving without draining the whole household.

My Five Practical Saves
- One outing rule: schedule only one “must-leave-the-house” plan on busy weeks.
- Car bag reset: wipes, a spare outfit, cozy blankets and a snack you won’t regret.
- 20-minute tidy sprint: set a timer, play one song, stop when it ends.
- Library = free magic: storytimes, crafts, and “new” books without spending money.
- Two yeses: each kid picks two things they want this weekend—everything else is optional.
