Mom, do you want a day off. This week? You can have it every week with these time saving, stay at home mom saving tips.
Save Time, Double Up And, get a mom's day off from cooking.
One way is to "double up." Specifically, double up every dinner recipe you make this month. Gonna cook for four? Cook for eight instead. One meal goes on the table, the other goes in the fridge.
Another way is to "add extra." Your recipe calls for a cup of rice and a pound of spinach? Make it a cup and half and a pound and a half. What you don't eat for dinner turns into a microwave lunch. Still a little "left over"? Freeze it!
Your goal mom - should you decide to take it on - is to cook double enough and extra enough so that you don't have to cook at all for at least one day a week! We'll call that day, Mom's Day Off!
Save Sanity. Swap with another Stay At Home Mom - And, take half a day off from your kids.
So many women left mom, grandma and their sisters behind, in another state, when they married the love of their lives. That's fine and dandy, but they are paying the price, literally. The average cost of babysitting ($10/hour) makes even a couple hours off the impossible dream.
But ... there's another stay at homemom, just like you, who would love any part of a day off. Probably you already know her from church, through friends, heck - maybe she lives next door.
Pick up the phone, walk next door, sit down over a cup of coffee and see about swapping kids. She takes yours - you take hers. You both get a break to shop, soak in the tub, dance around the house naked, nap, paint your fingernails and your toenails. How about a matinee? How about a bargain massage from the local massage school. How about ...
Raise Your Energy. Sneak Green & Power Snack - And you'll take every day off from fatigue.
So far we have saved time with cooking and mothering. Now, for a tip on how you can save time and gain energy!
