THE ULTIMATE ORGANIZED MOM

South Riding, VA - GO MOM !NC announces today its newest strategies help Moms better organize their lives and reach for their dreams in 2005. "Motherhood is a truly amazing yet demanding role," states Molly Gold, Founder of GO MOM !NC and Scheduling Expert for www.BlueSuitMom.com. "January is a great time to put strategies in place that will bring order to a Mom's most challenging areas of the home. Taking charge of these hotspots will bring ultimate success as she guides her family through the busy year ahead." Following are GO MOM !NC's four hotspots and the better organized solutions for a Simplified 2005:

• Organizers and Planners - If you don't have one, get one and start mapping your family schedule today. The simple act of having an all inclusive planner will truly save the day in how you proceed through the year and commit both your own time and that of family members as well. Consider your planner a compass to point you in the right direction, providing tracking for all family members schedules. Recognize that in keeping planner, you provide daily structure for smooth transitions and the flexibility to handle changes as they come. Make sure its portable and user friendly for your personal style of time management.

• Tote Bags and Purses - It doesn't matter what stage of motherhood you find yourself in, the right bag can make or break your day! Evaluate this item just as seriously as you did your first diaper bag. Find the best bag you can within your budget that has the features most important to you. Consider these critical areas you simply can't overlook: manageable size, strong straps and closure, organizational features to maximize its use such as storage pockets to carry your planner, waterproof materials to protect your contents, cell phone and wallet features, and storage for any specific items unique to your current family needs, such as diapers or medications.

• Desk - A well-organized desk will save you both time and money as you move through the day. Outfit your desk with a planner, bill paying center, files for important papers including school communications, miscellaneous supplies such as pens and scotch tape, a communication center for your phone and notepad, and a magnetic memory center to display a few favorite photos or handmade treasures from your little ones. Save time by following the one touch rule as you handle mail and school papers as they come in. Touch it once and make a decision then to either act or file. Save money by placing pending bills in your bill paying center sorted by due date so you never pay late fees again!

• Doorway - The doorway is where it all comes together or falls apart as you take your family in and out of the world we love. Teach your kids both responsibility and independence by giving them a process to follow. Start with hooks for backpacks and wall mounted in/out boxes for important papers to review and return. If you have the space, provide every family member with a cubby for everything from coats and boots to clean sports uniforms. It's a smart solution that clears the clutter and confusion all in one. If you are cramped for space, duplicate this concept by designating storage locations near your entryway for forget-me-not items such as keys, library books, videos, lunch money, and mittens. Keeping must haves within sight makes last minute "Mom I forgot!" no big deal for everyone.
