Hi Everyone!! I hope this message finds you well!! This week I was thinking we could discuss ways we have found to get everything done that is a part of our never ending full time job- being a CSAHM. There is so much more than most people realize and I thought we may be able to share things that we do that work and make life easier when it comes to cleaning the house, organizing the house and our schedules not to mention lives.. and errands--how to make them more effective, less time consuming and how to manage to pay the bills on time.

This is a subject that as much as I try, I tend to be the worst @ it! Now I have heard of flylady.net and that site is great but the day by day step is so in depth and I find it to be rather extereme and so I have a hard time applying it. Any suggestions? Is there anything that you all need to work on? Anything that works well you want to share? Or is there something else that we can work on together as a support system and a group of CSAHMs so that we can be able to enjoy life!

Please take care of your selves and your families.. and take a moment to reply to this... also I am still looking for topic suggestions. I did see that we had a good little conversation going on one of the posts about what we should allow our children to read/watch and be exposed to!

Your sister in CHRIST,
Vanessa K

I always find that making lists the night before of what needs to be done a very simple exercise to get stuff accomplished. When I don't make a list, my day seems to be filled with "whatevers". I also try not to cram to many things into a day because then I have to deal with burnout. Life is meant to be enjoyed. Eventhough the dishes may need to get done, and supper won't cook itself, sometimes simplifying is a practice that should be reintroduced to the family routine. Also, recruit your children. They could all spend just a little less time watching TV and playing video games!!! ;)
