Work, work, work

Sometimes there is not enough hours in a day to finish all the work that I have to do. It feels overwhelming at times but when I am done, it is very rewarding. I guess it is a matter of getting organized. Planning leads you to success. But how can you plan when you have a toddler in the house?

Start with he basics. Gather the information, materials, anything that you need to get the job done. Then figure out how long it will take to accomplish each task. This will help you divide the hours it will take to get it done and out the door. And don't forget to add "opportunities" within your timeline, that way you don't get frustrated when things are not getting done on time or as you want.

Life is not perfect and neither am I but we can certainly get as close as we can.

Celebrating Your Mom This Weekend

Every year my husband always ask me the same question: "What do you want to do for Mother's Day?" And I always reply with the same answer: "Let's just keep it simple."

It is true, the majority of the moms want to keep it simple. We just want to be pampered and recognized for everything that we do everyday. And sometimes the simplest things are the ones we treasure the most.

Here are a few ideas:

1. Breakfast in Bed - So simple yet so appreciated
2. Watch favorite show - Let her enjoy the TV too
3. Clean the house - Yes, both dads & children can enjoy this task together if you put a little fun twist to it
4. Personalized cards - There is nothing much sweeter than a card made with love
5. Shower her with little gifts thoughout the day - It makes a big difference and keeps her excited along the way

There you have it. Happy Mother's Day!
