Sharron Phillips is a champion of self care for women! She will offer ways to learn or remember how to take care of yourself and as a result enjoy your parenting, gain perspective, and become a valuable role model for your family and community.

Some Moms go nuts with trying to keep a house organized and ‘clean’. Dust always comes back after a few minutes.  Toys and clothes and sports equipment and stuff is a constant with active and abundant lifestyles that we are privileged to have these days. What would it feel like to arrange to have a house cleaning helper once or twice a month to do the tasks that you least like to do? Cleaning is forever. Life is messy. Think about experimenting with fitting a cleaning helper into your budget for self-care.

Another option is to set up family responsibilities to help out. Ask each family member to pick out one or two tasks that they would enjoy taking responsibility for.  Have a conversation together about the advantages of being a part of the home team, how being responsible leads to satisfaction from being a contributor.
