Oftentimes as I peruse the blogging world, I wonder at all of the many beautiful things being made by all of the lovely WAHM’s out there.  The question nagging at the back of my mind is “how do you manage to do it all?”  How does one maintain a house, care for young children, have friends and a romantic relationship with your husband, and still have time to create beautiful things?lightweighttotesrow2

There’s no doubt that you can’t do it all.  The house won’t ever look perfect, your children will probably watch some TV (gasp) and you’ll be more tired at the end of the day.

I have, however, developed some routines that help me keep everything from falling apart.  I would like to share a few of them with you just in case they can help your life run more smoothly as well.

So here’s my list of tips.  I’ll elaborate on them as well as I can in future posts.

1.  Have a morning/evening routine

2.  Daily cleaning

3.  Work while you workout

4.  Simple cooking

5.  Crafty space

6.  Effective shopping

What are your tips for doing it all?  Even if you don’t work at home, I’m sure you’ve developed some routines that help you make it through the day.  Let’s hear about them!
