Coming in October 2013, there will be 31 posts
featuring 31 ways to make being a working mom easier.
Each October, The Nester hosts a gathering where bloggers commit to writing about the same topic for 31 Days. I only heard about this a few weeks ago and decided to join. I am very passionate about being a working mom, because it’s the hardest thing I’ve had to do. Along the way, I’ve discovered things that work (and things that don’t) that have made this a much more enjoyable ride for me…and my family.
My 31 Days topics will include:
- Childcare
- How to Say No
- Date nights
- Girls’ Night Out
- Daily Routines
- Managing Calendars
- How to Use Action lists
- Managing Laundry
- Cleaning
- Your Child’s Extra-curricular Activities
- Taking Care of Yourself

- Weekends
- How to Free Up Your Time
- Priorities
