I try to hold it down, but there is always things that don't get done. Please share your tips.How do you get everything done at home, beauty wise, with kids, etc.?
A MAN WORKS FROM SUN TO DAWN, A WOMAN'S WORK IS NEVER DONE.





I never get everything done, and I know its not possible, so I focuss on what HAS to be done, then whats important to me. Put the other things off till the next day. Oh yeah and I am guilty of the 30 minute flyby cleaning before husband gets home!How do you get everything done at home, beauty wise, with kids, etc.?
I find it impossible to get everything done. I don't always have the house clean because its either spend time with the kids or clean. I'm lucky if I get a shower in during the day. I usually have to wait until the kids take a nap to take my shower. Usually it comes down to a shower, and make up, or clean the house for an hour. I have two kids a 3 year old boy, and a 15 month old girl.
I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, I CAN NEVER HAVE IT ALL DONE
A married man came home one day to find the house in complete disarray. His wife's clothing were strewn everywhere, the kid's toys were scattered all over the house, etc. The doorbell rang and it was company. The man was so embarrassed over the way the house looked. After the company left he told his wife how embarrassed he was over the way the house looked. His wife asked him, ';What do you want? A clean house or a beautiful wife.'; So, the man told everyone, he has a beautiful wife.
Good question...Hopefully I will learn something from here as well. Hire help maybe?
Well i have a nanny and that helps. But when she's not around, I like to get up early and work out and put myself together (make-up, etc.) I am big on lists and schedules too. On Sundays I make a list of everything I need to accomplish that week, what's going on the upcoming week, and calendar it and schedule it all out. I have adult ADD I think so this really helps me! I even break down my cleaning schedule, like laundry Tuesday and Saturday, etc. It really helps to break things down but at the end of the day, you just have to tell yourself, I did the best I could and that's good enough!
I home school 2 children, have a baby, keep my house clean, help my husband at his office, and try to make it to the gym everyday. The only way I get it all done is, work with my children in the mornings, shower and makeup at 12:00, gym in at 2:00, flyby cleaning 30 minutes before my husband walks in the door. Help at the office 3 days a week 8 - 12.





I choose to do the cleaning late so the house will smell good when he opens the door . . . . somewhat an illusion!
I hear ya! With me I just do the best I can...I am only one person
