Hearts at Home Week | Day 3

At the last conference, I purchased one of the books that is available as a prize, The Complete Guide to Getting and Staying Organized by Karen Ehman. After listening to Karen speak during one of the sessions, I bought her book and have been trying to implement her ideas into my every day life. I still have a ways to go, but with this book I now have the tools that I need to get myself , my home, and my schedule more organized. Karen teaches you step-by-step how to create a system that will work for your specific family. She teaches you how to manage your time, unclutter/organize your home, get your kids interested in helping you and, most importantly, how to not over commit to things. A must read for anyone who needs help in any or all of those areas, which was and is definitely me!

Today's question:

What's your best tip or piece of advice for a mom?

For each person that leaves a comment on my blog (under any of the Hearts at Home posts this week) will be in the drawing for one of the books that is available at the conference. How cool is that? Each day this week I will be asking a question for you to answer and on October 5th I will be drawing one of those names and posting it here on the blog (Each day there is a new question for you to answer...that means you have 4 chances to win!) The winner will get to choose which of these three books she would like: The Complete Guide to Getting and Staying Organized by Karen Ehman, Facing Every Mom's Fears by Allie Pleiter, or Is There Really Sex After Kids by Jill Savage.

**please note - I don't know all my readers personally, so if you have any doubt, be sure to link with your e-mail address...and don't post anonymously otherwise it will be hard for you to win. I will be posting the winner's name here on the blog on October 5th, so be sure to check back!

Pick your battles wisely. But once you've picked them - stick with them!
