But I only have two hands...

I have often wondered how my friends with multiple children did it. How do you get it all done in a day and make it look so darn easy?? Then, one day my friends asked how I did it. They did not know how I was able to work outside of the home, grow a business and have a family? Some days I did not know either, and some days I did not do well with juggling it all. But, our conversations made me realize that many of us struggle with the same things even if the situation is different; whether we are a working mother or a stay at home mother. How do we really do it?? I really like this article because the very first point says the truth and that is we cannot do it all (although I am always amazed at just how much we can do). So many people tell you to let the house work go. Well, for some of us that works ok but for others of us that is the quickest way to eliminate our patience. Last week I could tell I had had enough. I then spent three and a half hours cleaning the next day and felt surprisingly happy (now, cleaning toilets does not always have this effect on me). Overall, this article is packed full of great tips that lets you know that it is ok that you cannot "do it all" and tells you to embrace your differences and to do what feels right for you and your family. Finally! Let me know if any tip speaks to you... Nicole
