Ways to simplify life

Congratulations for the new baby. I take it this is your first. I remember when I had my first child. I wanted everything to be perfect and I wanted to experience each stage of her childhood right now. It truly is a unique experience. Simplifying your life is an admirable goal. I think all of us could use some simplicity in our lives. You've actually got a good start on that already with your lists and decluttering activities. Most of us have more things than we truly need and the more we have the more we have to clean. The best advise I think that I can add here is not to worry over small things. It won't really matter if the dishes don't get done right after the meal or if everything is always kept in it's place. A little dust never did any lasting harm and it won't hurt others in your family to have to do a few things for themselves. This time with your new baby will pass quickly. Spend time with (her?). Take lots of pictures. And bask in the joy that motherhood brings. Oh yes, one last thought. Don't be afraid to let others help.

Ways to simplify life may to always be thinking ahead. Plan. Make a list of tasks to be done daily, in a calendar format. Get up when the baby is still sleeping to get a few extra things done that you wont be able to do otherwise. IE: Eat a decent breakfast, take a shower or bath, etc. Ask family members to help out if you find yourself a bit overwhelmed from time to time. On one of the hubbies days off, make it a day for dad to pick up the needed groceries and perhaps prepare a meal for the family. Don't let laundry pile up. Do a load when you have a load. Take the garbage and/or recycle out when it is full. Have family members wash and dry their own dishes after each meal time. May one or more of these suggestions be helpful.

Hello mrsgoody and congratulation on your baby. right off hand the one thing that might help to simplify your live is when you fix a meal make enough for 2 meals and freeze one for a later date when you might be too tired to fix one. Put any thing that you don't really need away for now.

Well I think you can ask your husband to help you in his day off even for washing a cloths, then stop worried about some other work that you can do in your house specially maintain your house very net, you can hired twice a month a person can clean your house.... Good luck
