The Lowdown: Every parent of school age children has been there at one time or another. You’re tucked in bed, about to drift off to sleep, when you suddenly remember you volunteered to bake something for the school bake sale tomorrow. Or perhaps over dinner your child has announced that the project he heard about four weeks ago that he has yet to start is due tomorrow.

What I say: OK, I have to confess. I was that kid. I was the one that announced to my mother that I volunteered her to chaperone our school trip the next day as I was getting ready for bed on one occasion, and told her at dinner one night I had signed her up to make four dozen cupcakes on another. My mother insists that’s why I had twins…so I can get paid back times two! I intend to be fully prepared, and think the BlueSuitMom.com’s list is a great place to start.
