Time Management Tips for Stay at Home Moms
Time management can be a big
issue for stay at home moms that have many things going on in their
lives. For mothers that truly want the best for themselves and their
families, time management can play a major role as to their success.
Bringing
Home the Bacon…and Cooking it Too
Trading Corporate Ladders for Chutes and Ladders
Working outside the home may not seem as enticing as it once
did for some mothers once a baby enters the picture. Priorities
can change for some literally in a heartbeat. The decision to
become a stay-at-home mother is the only option some new moms
even consider.
Built-In
Beauty
It's easier to seek out meaning and depth from the everyday
things that grow from being surrounded by my children. Their
sense of wonder, their innocence, their needfulness, all remind
me of the blessing and the privilege I have been given in
raising them.
Right
Where I Ought to Be
Having been an at-home mom now for six years, my sense of
confidence in the job that I do has run the gamut, from
questioning my self-worth to feeling like I happily rule the
world, or at least that of my four children. I would bet my last
dollar that every at-home mother has done the same thing, but I
need that dollar for groceries, so I won't.

Staying Home With Your Kids a Reality: A Six Month Plan
I recently had a conversation
with a working mom who has mentioned on many occasions that
she’d like to stay home with her kids. “You’re wife is SO

Off the Fastlane

the rest of the family slept are now done during normal working
hours. I schedule my duties to fit my family's timetable.

The hours are great, it pays terrific personal dividends, and my
co-workers love me.

You CAN Afford to Stay at Home with Your Kids
What do you mean you can't afford to stay home with your kids?
Sorry, I don't believe it. I used to believe, but not anymore.
Here are some helpful tips and major life-changing strategies to
allow you the power to stay home with your kids.
Tempted
Again - To Work or Not to Work?
It happened again. For about
the fourth time in the year since my son was born and I quit my
job, I was tempted to go back to work. The classified ad read in
part: Part-time. Professional Office. 20-25 hours/week;
flexible. $13.00/hr.
You’ve
Made the Decision to Stay Home - Now What?
The security of a second income may keep you from staying home
with your child. If this is true for you, and if staying home
with your child is what you really want, remember that there are
always options.
Facing
the No. 1 Obstacle
Maxed out. Stressed out. Worn
out. I was out and out ready for a change.
A
Time For Work
"Do you have any suggestions for those of us who have to go
back to work due to finances?" - "C" for Confused
Working
with No Faces
I have made an interesting
set of friends on the internet, most of whom I've never spoken
with and probably never will. Yet I know them.
I
Have No Right to Complain
I’m
doing exactly what I wanted to do, and with a lot more
resources, appliances, and conveniences than my mother had when
she raised six kids full-time!
The
Secret Life of A Stay-At-Home Mom
The idea that mothers who stay home with their children are, in
effect, Oprah-watching homeroom moms whose day consists solely
of baking cookies and taking care of their families, is,
unfortunately, a common one.
Schedule
Number 682
The
difficulty in maintaining a schedule and a routine is one of the
most common complaints of a stay-at-home mom.

with Isolation
It's a Lonely World in the House!
Mom's
Identity Crisis
Do you ever wonder what
the rest of the world is doing while you are up to your ears in
laundry, dishes, and toys?

How
Much Do You Really Make?
If you're a
working parent, bringing home a second income, you might not be
making as much as you think you are!

From
Working Mom To Stay-At-Home Mom: The First Year
Like many of you, staying at home with my
children was a dream and a goal that I had worked toward for a
long time, so when that goal was realized, I was elated.
Relic
A Relic. A throwback. A threat to feminism. What am I?
A stay-at-home mom.
HOME ALONE .... Being A SAHM
Guilt at being bored, guilt at needing help, guilt at
wanting time away. I noticed that the majority of these moms
were first time moms, coping with learning and exhaustion and
reality.

Y2
Stay At Home
I think this generation of women is struggling with
the notion that we have to be able to do it all. And if we
don't, we're betraying all the women who sacrificed so much to
get us the right to be treated 'equal.
Mommies
Of The New Millennium

woman in the supermarket towing three or four slobbery-faced
kids, think again.
