A working mom schedule might help you outline the tasks you need to complete within the time you have available and require you to make less decisions.
I recently wrote a post about my working mom evening routine. It outlines the tasks that are part of the routine I follow almost every evening.
I thought it might be helpful to also detail my schedule, how long the items take, etc.

As a working mom, here’s my daily schedule:

So glad I found you! I've been struggling to find blogs I can relate to as a fulltime working mom (outside of the home).
Hey Stacy! So glad to have you. Please let me know if you are looking for anything in particular. :)

Hello. Great ideas to ensure important things are done and what things can wait.
Do you really have dinner and clean table in 30min?
This is super organized! Are you able to stick to it every day? I dream of being this routine-d but have never been great at routine...
What time do the kids go to bed? I think I missed that part but I love everything else!
Hell Lady! I love your blog info, I'll be returning. It some very useful info here. Thanks a lot!
