May Madness

March has nothing on May on my calendar!  May is filled to the max with school events, field trips, award ceremonies, parties, a garage sale...plus all my normal "life" stuff of work, families, kids.  When it gets like this, it is easy to kiss the budget goodbye and get into survival mode.  Help me stay in the ZEN BALANCE MODE of little time, little money, and little kids.  Please share what you find to be your BIGGEST timesavers.  Because I need them.  And some of my readers might NEED them too! THANKS!
