Managing time seems to be the hardest part of motherhood. There has to be a better way, right? I mean, a normal day for a mom can consist of empting the dishwasher 2 times, 3 meals, 3 times dish duty, trash out, floors swept, beds made, baths taken, legs shaven, hair washed, make up on, hair fixed, playing toys, computer time, shopping, I have to stop this on going list as I am totally getting exhausted about thinking about all that is done by stay at home mothers all day long! So, some how we have to figure out a method that works best for each individual situation. I have been thinking, and this is what I have come up with to help with time management issues.
- Start your day by getting dressed, bed made, hair and make up done!
- Set a time where you play 100% with your child
- Set up a computer time, like your own alone time
- Use a timer to get tasks done, so you are not going from one room to the other, stay focused
- Make a chore chart for self, for weekly cleaning
- Don’t over schedule your childrens activities
- Say NO, to requests more often. If you are the type to be in charge of to much at kids schools
- Take a look at your typical day, see if there is any habit that needs to be changed
- PRAY
Now some of you super moms, probably do all these things. Some may be pretty good at doing most of these, and me well… I have to be honest, I need to follow my own suggestions, because if I did, I would be probably be alot less stressed.
If these ideas don’t work, get a nanny, a cleaning lady, and go to the spa… he he. Feel free to comment on ways you like to save time and energy on the small stuff that makes your day a more productive one!

I like to think of myself frugal, but not cheap. Which means I do like good quality items, I just look for way to get items at a great deal! I believe couponing is for anyone and everyone, it is an easy way to save money on things you already use on a regular basis. In 2009, I was picked by Savings.com to be a deal pro. It was such an honor, and I met some great frugal bloggers. I was chosen again for the second year in a row for Savings.com Deal Pro for 2010! During this past year I attend the Disney Moms Social Media event 2010. So far 2010 has been a great year. {
