Surviving as a Stay At Home Mom is possible with the correct Time Management Procedures in place.
Stay at home moms often get a bad rap. They are often considered “always available” by those who don’t really understand what all they accomplish in a day. A typical stay at home mom would earn over $100,000 per year if she were paid for the many things that she does throughout the day.

For a staying at home mom to stay on top of things she needs to organize her time wisely. She should start with the moment she gets up in the morning. Make the bed as soon as she gets out of it to save time later.
After making the bed, get dressed, this will help to speed the day up later on. If she has laundry she may wish to throw a load in after this. Now it’s time to get children up for school.
As she continues on throughout her day, she should be picking things up as she goes from one room to another. This will save her from having to run around hurriedly cleaning before someone comes over or hubby comes home.
Children as young as 3 years old can learn to help by picking up their toys. Putting their clothes into a drawer and maybe even dusting. It’s not difficult to train children to help. This will help reduce the time mom has to work at cleaning the house. Remember, it’s okay if it’s not perfect. Allowing children to help will teach them responsibility and the quality will come in time.
Focus on only one major task per day. Perhaps it’s vacuuming or washing all of the bedding. Whatever it is, it will help to reduce chaos if only one task is focused on. Mom will also feel like she’s really accomplished something at the end of the day.
Always go easy on yourself. You’re only one person. Things often happen that will throw the scheduling off so be flexible.

Great post Angela and have to agree that more time spent on children than money is correct. As for the tidying up my youngest sons wife is Japanese and she taught her two girls to tidy up from the minute they could walk and they have no problem with it at all, so as you say it is how you organise your time. Thanks for sharing.
