Take back control of your family routine: practical solutions from Belles Combines

06 September, 2024 • Par Natacha Langlois

Like many of us, now that routine and busy schedules are back in full swing, are you looking for concrete solutions to make your family's daily organization easier? Here are our perfect tools to get back into the swing of things easily, with the whole family on board!

The planners

To share the mental load effectively with every member of the family, nothing beats our magnetic weekly and monthly planners, which let you write all your appointments, activities and obligations in one place, in plain view of everyone. In addition to letting everyone easily see what's coming up on the schedule, they help little ones get a better sense of time and bigger kids take on more responsibility. Use them with our Magnétos chore magnets to add simple, effective visual cues!

The household chore chart

To lighten the load of managing daily life, it's important to involve every member of the family in the household chores. To avoid having to repeat the same instructions and tasks over and over, and so free up your mental load around managing the family, our household chore chart comes to the rescue! Magnetic and dry-erase, it will let you not only easily list everything that needs to get done around the house, but also quickly see who has truly pitched in. Used with our chore Magnétos, our chart can be used by little ones and big ones alike! 

The routine charts

Do your kids take far too many minutes to get through their routine each morning? Would you like them to complete it on their own, without having to remind them over and over of the tasks they need to do? Our magnetic, adaptable and versatile routine charts will let you set up a daily routine your kids can easily follow, completely on their own! Used together with our Petites Séquences stickers placed in strategic spots around the house, they're the tool you need for simple, effective routines!

Handy printables

If you don't know them yet, our downloads, to use on their own or to add to our family organization binder, are a true gold mine that will undoubtedly make managing your daily life easier. Whether it's to plan your weekly menus, manage your budget effectively or organize your next renovation or vacation project, we have all the printables you need to lighten your mental load and optimize your family organization.

Octave, your virtual family assistant

The latest major project from Belles Combines, Octave is not only a family management app but a true virtual assistant that will concretely help lighten your mental load.
