This is why I watch you. I'm not a mom, I'm 58, I'm married and work full time. I'm also an introvert and thinking about starting my own business for my retirement years. Your tips work for people without kids. 3 or 4 of your tips work for me. Bundling tasks, meal prepping, assigning tasks to days and scheduling housework task to days. All good tips for anyone and personally things I need to work on. Thanks. P.S. I'm praying for your Dad and your whole family. I've been there.
Our son is a freshman in college this year but I enjoyed listening! We LOVED our audiobooks while commuting here and there. Great way to bond over great stories or simply learning ABC songs😊
Yes!!! I always love these practical tip videos from you! I find myself going back often to some of your morning routine videos. Thank you for sharing what works for you with us! Also, I forgot to comment on your last video but I’m so glad that the go fund me is gaining traction. I’m praying for your family and I know God is with you all during this. San is doing such a good job and I’m so thankful you two have eachother, talk about a wonderful example for your girls 💗
I used to take my kids shopping with me before COVID hit. Now I don't, it's my only break from being mom so they stay with my mom while I shop. I get groceries delivered from Walmart and Kroger so I only have to go into Aldi and Meijer if I need things from there. We do assign tasks to days though, such as laundry on Tuesdays
so true with tip #1 I need to start doing this bc I have so many appointments to make and I keep putting it off bc it's taking time from everything else. OMG what. is that yodel book reading thingy?! I love the idea of schedule work and mothering tasks. Thank you for the ideas!!
Thanks you! Great tips!! I definitely find that assigning tasks to certain days makes a huge difference for me! I'm working on refining those more! And making them more habitual.💜💖
Meal prepping in South Africa is such a problem. We have had rolling blackouts for years now, frozen things just do not last unless you have an inverter or solar panels. Which cost a fortune.
💯 using planning systems and templates is a game changer for productive parents! Once I assigned different tasks to different days as well as created templates for myself like meal planning and cleaning and even monthly chores, I was amazed at how organized I became!
A caveat to doing appointments all at one time: taking 7 kids under 8 to the optometrist at once does not go well. I'm only taking two at a time next time.
I didn’t mean doing them all at the same time - I means scheduling them all. I hate scheduling things so doing it all at once sucks but also saves me from doing it later

good tips thank you for sharing
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Where did you get the white dresser ?
Love the idea of doing certain tasks on certain days!
Awesome information. You’re amazing mom🎉
Great tips!! Thank you!
These are great tips! I’ll be transitioning to working from home in a couple weeks so this video was very beneficial to me. Thank you!
I hope these help!!!
Love your videos! Do you have a video on how to create an Etsy shop? Do you make the shirts yourself?
I don’t have a video on it. I outsource the printing but do all the designs myself
The more kids I have the less I read to them 😬 you always inspire me to read to them more!!! I love the bath time reading idea!!
It’s so true! It’s harder to find time to read to the little ones especially if it isn’t a routine!
These are great tips! Thank you!!

It’s called a Yoto Player - I have a video about it here: ua-cam.com/video/5lWx4Eu_Gfg/v-deo.html

I’m glad that also works so well for you!
Meal prepping in South Africa is such a problem. We have had rolling blackouts for years now, frozen things just do not last unless you have an inverter or solar panels. Which cost a fortune.
For this same reason, we can't really use crock pots, rice cookers, bread machines etc. If they decide to cut the power, no dinner.
How do you manage your timr when a kid or baby, for whatever reason, interrupts or co-opts your work time?
I just move stuff around when that happens. But we are 8 years into this routine so it rarely gets seriously interrupted anymore.
Where did you get that couch floor thing-y in your school space?
It’s called a Nugget!
Hi Sarah 👋
💯 using planning systems and templates is a game changer for productive parents! Once I assigned different tasks to different days as well as created templates for myself like meal planning and cleaning and even monthly chores, I was amazed at how organized I became!
It takes such a load off your mind when planning your days and weeks as well!
