Quick Tips
We understand how hectic life can be as a busy mother, that's why we created this section. Quick ideas to help make your life more manageable.
- Cleaning Schedule
Instead of waiting for the weekend to tackle a week's worth of dirt and clutter, schedule time every day. For example, on Mondays clean the bathrooms, Tuesdays do laundry, Wednesdays pick up kid's rooms, Thursdays mop the kitchen. Setting a routine makes cleaning easier and less like a chore and you will have more family time on weekends. Set a time limit for your cleaning. If you work quickly, you can knock out cleaning the toilet, sink and emptying the bathroom trash for 2 bathrooms in under 15 minutes. More Household Tips - Quick Weekday Meals
How many times do you come home from a busy workday, briefcase in one hand diaper bag in the other, and rush into the kitchen to stare blankly at a shelf or freezer? There is little energy left to even give a thought to what to prepare for dinner. You're not alone. Studies show that at 4 p.m. each day over 75 percent of us don't have a clue as to what to make for dinner that evening. The solution is to have a pantry stocked with ingredients that you can use to cook dinners in under 20 minutes. With the right shelf-stable ingredients like pasta noodles, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic and tuna you can create a quick pasta dinner that even your kids will love. More ideas - Use Your Free Time Wisely
So often when we do find a few moments we spend it on some mind numbing activity such as watching TV. Devote some time each week to doing something that enriches your life. It could be finally finishing Johnny's baby photo album (even though he is 10 now), learning a foreign language or reading a bestselling book. You'll feel more satisfied if you spend your free time doing something other than watching Law and Order reruns.
