Are you overwhelmed with trying to stay organized?

April 15, 2008 By: Real Life Solutions Category: Teenagers, Stress Management, Self Esteem, Working From Home, Pamper Yourself, Freebies, Healthy Living, Children, Blogroll, Parenting, Organization, Goals, Uncategorized No Comments →

Keeping an organized home isn’t always easy.  One of the roadblocks that stands in the way of getting organized is the feeling of being overwhelmed. Have you ever walked into your home and let out a *sigh* as you look at the clutter?  Many moms simply feel overwhelmed and this feeling is understandable since many of us lead very busy lives.

Here are some tips to help you for when you feel overwhelmed or stressed out when it comes to getting organized.

1 - When you’re feeling overwhelmed take a moment to stop and brainstorm solutions to the problem. If you are staring at a cluttered desk, take a moment to jot down things that you could use to lessen the clutter (in boxes, bins, foldere..etc)

2 -  Break your organizing projects down into small steps.  For example, instead of trying to organize the kitchen in one large swoop, just choose a cabinet a day to organize.

3 - Get some help.  Recruit your spouse, friends, older children, etc. to help you come up some organizing projects.

Disover how to deal with child temper tantrums

March 20, 2008 By: Real Life Solutions Category: Pamper Yourself, About the Family, Working From Home, Parenting, Children, Blogroll No Comments →

Ahhh the joys of parenting. Most parents have witnessed their little bundles of joy in the throws of a temper tantrum. Even the most dignified parent has been left red-faced and wanting to be swallowed into the ground while their toddler is having a public meltdown.

Here are a few easy ideas for avoiding temper tantrums:

Don’t Let Your Child Get Over Tired – Don’t let your child become too tired. Set a regular nap routine and try to stick to it, and make sure your child goes to bed at a reasonable time and gets enough sleep during the night. Tiredness is often the first reason for a tantrum.

Give Them Time - Allow enough time for activities like getting dressed, brushing their hair and getting in and out of the car. Your child will want to do a lot of these things on his own and rushing him is a sure way to start a tantrum. Give him a little extra time and let him try to be independent by allowing him to do certain things for himself.

Here’s to some temper free days!

Tips to help cut your monthly bills in half

March 19, 2008 By: Real Life Solutions Category: Working From Home, About the Family, Mommy Rambles, Freebies, Healthy Living, Organization, Goals, Blogroll No Comments →

Every month you sit down to pay the bills and every month you wonder how in the world you’re spending so much. This is a common scenario for most families. The good news is there are a few things you can do to cut your monthly bills down.

Shop Around – Always shop around. Utility companies are in fierce competition with each other, use it to your advantage and shop around for the best savings. Don’t think you have to stick with a supplier you’re not happy with.

Leave the Car at Home – Don’t pay the outrageous fees for gas. If possible try to walk, you can also consider taking the bus or carpooling. When filling up the car, shop around for competitive rates.

Lower Your Thermostat – If it’s cold in the house don’t just automatically switch the heating to high. Put on an extra sweater and pair of socks instead.

Avoid Using Your Dryer – Dryers waste a lot of electricity which means higher bills for you. Try to hang up your clothes instead. This not only saves you money on electricity but will help some of your clothes last longer as well.
Make Sure It’s Full – Don’t use your washing machine or dishwasher when it’s half empty. Play around with the temperature settings to see if a lower temperature will do the job just as well as the pricier higher one.

Turn Off the Lights – Your father was right. Turn off the lights you’re not using to save electricity. If you’re just relaxing try lighting candles instead, this will save money and create a nice atmosphere (make sure you follow all safety guidelines).

Lower Your Water Bill – Try to take showers instead of baths. Turn off the water while you’re brushing your teeth. Collect rain water and recycle it to water the plants. Make sure your faucets aren’t dripping. Use a bowl full of water when doing the dishes instead of leaving the tap running.

Change the Setting – Set your thermostats a couple of degrees lower in the winter and a couple of degrees higher in the summer for a big savings on your utility bills.

Filter Your Water – Investing in a good water filtering system can save you money on buying bottled water. It will also help you save money by making your appliances last longer due to lower lime scale buildup in hard water areas. You can even use less detergent when washing clothes or using the dishwasher.

Don’t Buy Disposable – Try to cut back on your shopping bills by not buying disposable items such as paper towels, use a clean dish cloth instead. Try to reuse your aluminum foil or sandwich bag containers or better yet buy plastic containers you can wash and reuse.

By following these tips to save money, you can make a significant dent on your monthly bills. As an added bonus, you’ll also be contributing towards a healthier environment for your children and grandchildren to enjoy.

De-cluttering Your Home - Tips and Ideas

De-cluttering Your Home - Tips and Ideas

Three words to keep in mind when it comes to de-cluttering your home, storage, storage and storage.  De-cluttering simply comes down to finding a place for everything, making sure everything is in its proper place and getting rid of what you no longer need.  It won’t happen overnight, so now is the time to being making a plan of attack. 

First, get each bedroom area organized.  Take a day and sort through clothes and toys in the kids’ rooms, and either sell, give away or throw away what isn’t needed anymore.  Get age appropriate storage units, label things and help teach the kids to put their own things away.

Next, get a laundry basket for each family member and start with the least cluttered room of the house, so you’ll see success quicker and stay motivated.  Put everything in the baskets that doesn’t belong in that room. Then each person has a deadline to find a home for everything in the basket, or you will (even if it’s file thirteen).  Keep a big trash bag nearby for stuff you know needs to be gotten rid of immediately (like junk mail).  Do this for each room of the house.

Once everything is in the correct room, evaluate each room and decide what kind of storage is needed to keep things organized.  If there is very little clutter left in the room once the personal belongings are gone, then you’ve got less work to do. If the room still looks chaotic, decide if the items really need to be in that room or relocated, stored or sold/given away.  If you use the basket trick daily, going from room to room, it should be easy to stay on top of things. 

Different rooms have different storage needs, what works in the family room won’t necessarily work in the kitchen.  Take your time and research the options out there and find a system that works best for your family.
