10 Tips for working & stay at home moms with kids.

Volume 2

~There’s nothing like being a mom~

         As a full-time stay at home mom, wife, mother of three active boys ages 5, 2, and 5 months, I am constantly being asked how do you keep it together? My answer is you must pray, have faith, support and encouragement from your spouse and family. With the assistance of my husband and family, I have incorporated a ten step program which I will share with you. This has helped assist me through my daily activities. I believe having a mentor in your life is an important step in the process. My mentor is my mother, she has always advised me that there is nothing like being a mother. We all know that motherhood isn’t always easy, we always deal with multiple things as a mother. She has said being a mother is more than a full time job. We all know that motherhood isn’t easy because we deal with so much, but with our faith and perseverance things will fall into place. I always valued my mothers advice because in my opinion, she will always be my very own superwoman!

           Finally, our role as a mom requires us to wear many hats. Whether you have a full time job outside the home or are a stay at home mom, here are my top 10 best practices I use to manage my day.

 

Step 1.

  Set realistic goals and have a systems in place to help you manage your unpredictable day.

 

Step 2.

Start your day before everyone else gets up!!

 

Step 3.

 Step 10,
