Each Live Better Friday I try to share with you something that makes our lives as moms simpler.  Sometimes it’s a product, sometimes it’s an idea or system, and sometimes it’s just a story.

This job of motherhood, combined with whatever kind of extra work you do (a regular job, a business, a craft, a ministry, or homeschooling) can make for hectic and loud days. As I have shared before, I have stayed home with the kids, worked a part-time job, a full-time job, and run a business in the 13 years since the twins were born. I know that some seasons were more crazy than others, but as we head into the holidays, the added layer of activity and “to dos” can make us overwhelmed.

Starting Monday, I will launch our 6 Weeks to a Simple Holiday series.  Each week you will get the plan for the week and I will send support to your inbox throughout the week.  After years of helping folks plan and organize for Christmas, I have whittled every tip and strategy into a 6 week plan that takes you right up the week before Christmas.

If you are reading this, you are already signed up for it.  If you have a friend who could use the 6 week plan, make sure she signs up for our email updates (look over to the left side bar for the sign up box).  She’ll also get the Motherhood Manifesto when she does!  The first week of the plan will be in your email on Monday morning!  It’s going to be so much fun!

So, on this Live Better Friday, cuddle up with your family, eat a little dessert, have a little wine, and rent some movies.  Love the ones your with and give thanks in all things.
