Kiss Crabby Mom goodbye
Imagine having a plan for your family’s meals this week, a plan you can pull off without freaking out. Imagine a laundry system where your kids participate and you don’t have to do it all. Imagine having free time to spend in the evening because you’ve taken care of the “big rocks” and are ready for a break. Sounds too good to be true? It’s not. Life as Mom doesn’t have to be a never-ending cycle of sleepless nights, overflowing laundry baskets, and messes that multiply like bunnies.
The Reality of Life as Mom
Let’s face it: life as Mom is full of sleepless nights, laundry baskets that can overflow, and messes that seem to multiply overnight. But it’s also filled with happy giggles, warm bodies to cuddle, and memories to cherish. However, the crazy and crabbiness we feel often gets in the way of the cuddles, and money worries can be a constant stress. But what if you could put things in perspective, identify what you want in your life, and start developing budget-friendly systems that help you get there? Would you like to start loving your life as Mom again?
From Chaos to Calm
As a mom of six, I’ve learned a thing or two about managing the chaos and finding calm in the midst of chaos. With six kids aged 15 to 26, I’ve homeschooled them all from birth, paid off 60k in consumer debt and negative equity, and lived to tell the tale. And I’ve got the strategies and systems to prove it. I’ve published two blogs, written four cookbooks, and designed a planner that I think will rock your world in helping you identify your priorities and walk them out in daily life.
Prioritizing Your Life
So, where do you start? Begin by identifying what’s truly important to you. What are your priorities? What do you want to achieve in the next year? Take a step back and look at your life as a whole. What are your “big rocks” – the things that are non-negotiable? Once you’ve identified your priorities, start developing systems to help you achieve them.
Meal Planning: A Game-Changer
Meal planning is one area where having a plan can make all the difference. Imagine having a plan for your family’s meals this week, complete with healthy and delicious recipes, shopping lists, and cooking schedules. With meal planning, you can save time, money, and reduce stress. Plus, you’ll be feeding your family nutritious meals that they’ll love.
Laundry Systems: Involving the Kids
Laundry can be a never-ending task, but involving your kids can make it more manageable. Create a laundry system where your kids participate, and you’ll not only get more help, but you’ll also teach them important life skills. Plus, it’s a great way to bond and spend quality time together.
Free Time: A Luxury
Free time is a luxury that many moms don’t get to enjoy. But what if you could have free time to spend in the evening, relaxing and recharging? With a plan and systems in place, you can make the most of your time and energy. Whether it’s reading a book, taking a walk, or simply enjoying a cup of coffee, having free time can be a game-changer.
Budget-Friendly Systems
Money worries are a common stress for many moms. But what if you could create budget-friendly systems that help you save money and reduce stress? From meal planning to laundry systems, budgeting to time management, there are many ways to create systems that work for you and your family.
Putting Things in Perspective
When life gets crazy, it’s easy to lose perspective. But taking a step back and looking at your life as a whole can help you see what’s truly important. Identify your priorities, and start developing systems to help you achieve them. With a clear plan and a positive attitude, you can make the most of your life as Mom.
Make the Most of Your Daze
In my spare time, I’ve published two blogs, written four cookbooks, and designed a planner that I think will rock your world in helping you identify your priorities and walk them out in daily life. Make the most of your daze with these handy resources:
