Home Organization for Moms

October 8th, 2009 Goals & Time Management

Today I had a really fun time speaking to a MOPS group (Mothers of Preschoolers) in my area. It was especially nice for me, because the first talk on home organization that I ever gave was in the same location to another MOPS group. I had just started my business, it was my first time to give a talk and who would have known I would go on to really enjoy public speaking?!

I was a stay-at-home parent for many years, so I really enjoyed the opportunity to talk to these women who are doing such a hard job and give them some tips on how to take care of themselves and mangage their time. As parents, it is so easy to put everyone ahead of ourselves and wear ourselves thin, but we must remember to take care of ourselves first so we can then be of better service to others. Knowing there will be many demands on our time, we must be be prepared through self-care.

So don’t feel guilty about taking care of yourself. In the long run you will feel better, have more energy for yourself, your family and the demands on your time. So, go ahead and take that bubble bath. Go ahead and get that pedicure. You go right ahead and read that trashy magazine. It’s all for the greater good!
