From the outside, it looks easy to manage a home.
If I had a dollar for every time someone asked me "So what do you do all day?" or "Do you get incredibly bored with nothing to do all day?" I would be writing this email from some beach somewhere and not watching it snow right now.
It seems like it should be so easy.
But it isn't.
What looks like just a couple of simple tasks from the outside can cause stress, anxiety, and chaos on the inside.
Why is that?
Because every one of those "easy things" that we moms are supposed to do isn't easy.
Let's take meal planning for example.
You just have to sit down and write out a plan, right?
Wrong.
You have to figure out breakfasts, lunches, and dinners for the number of people in your family for the entire week (or month, or year). And if you have picky eaters, the number of meals can easily double or triple!
Then you have to find time in an already busy week to go to the grocery store.
But wait! Before you go to the grocery store, you need to see what food you already have in your refrigerator, freezer, and pantry and compare the current inventory of food with all of your recipes for the week to make sure that you aren't buying more than you need.
Then, when you go to make the food, you need to make sure that you started cooking early enough so that you can eat and get your kids to bed (or if you have older kids, eat then head out again for the evening activities!).
THEN if all of those steps happened perfectly everything should be on the table before the kids start getting too hungry... But that's assuming you didn't get interrupted 2.5 million times as you were trying to cook.
And that's just ONE aspect of home management.
If this scenario sounded way too familiar to you, I want to invite you to my Free Workshop tomorrow, Wednesday March 1 at 1:00pm Pacific Time.

Hey Reader, How has this week treated you? Mine was back to business as usual after a busy birthday week. And let me tell you... things got a*little bit* crazy last week 🤪. I may or may not have had a mountain of clothes in the floor of my laundry room waiting to be folded for the better part of 4 days 😅. But that got me thinking, the two things that I hear stress moms out more than anything else are cooking, and laundry. So I decided to make 2 videos with some hacks that have helped me with...
