Since we all need a little order in our lives (I know I do), this post should help you keep on task.  This Mama Says teaches you tips to Tweak your Schedule.

How many times do you wake up in the morning with the full intention of crossing off everything on your “To Do List” and then when your head hits the pillow you realize that maybe one thing was done?!?! The next day, you wake up and start the cycle again…

There are so many things fighting for your time that cleaning, errands & chores easily loose precedence! How many times do we say to ourselves, “I don’t have time right now. I’ll do it later when I’m not so busy.” Guess what??? That “not so busy” moment… NEVER happens!!!

We are left with two options.
Option #1 – Frantically clean right before guests arrive. Cleaning off counters, vacuuming, spraying febreeze & shoving things anywhere, but in plain sight. (We’ve all been there) This can get real old, real fast if you often have drop-in guests.
Option #2 – Adapt cleaning into your daily schedule. This allows you to maintain your home, instead of letting it become overwhelming. And this way you do not have to abandon your normal daily activities to spend a day cleaning.

And I’m off!

I’m heading to the Savvy Blogging Summit in beautiful Colorado Springs!  I have posts scheduled during my trip, so you shouldn’t miss me too much.  Plus, you know our rooms have WiFi!

If you want to know who I’m meeting at Savvy (there will be some amazing bloggers in attendance), make sure to follow along on Twitter.  I can post to my Twitter page right from my phone. I’ll try to keep you up to date on who I’m meeting and what I’m learning to make this site better for YOU.

Not on Twitter?  Don’t worry, I’ll have access to Facebook and the site at night.

I’m heading to the Savvy Blogging Summit bright and early Thursday morning (whoo!)  If anyone has any guest posts to share it would be very much appreciated.  I’m also open to past articles you may have written.

• Please email me by Wednesday (07/13)
• Include a short bio and link to your website (if applicable)
• Include an image you would like to use for the post
• Must be family friendly

If I am fortunate enough to receive more posts than I can use while at Savvy, I’ll get them up over the rest of the summer.  My kids are out of school, so guest posts save me time 🙂

THANKS!
