I'm still working on how to be a good mom. How to get everything done in the day. Crystal is a full time blogger, a mom of three. I'm not even doing that. :p

So getting advice on how to make it through the day, how to plan (that's the hardest thing for me) to get things done, that's what I need.

Now I just need to implement it. I think the part that works the best for me is her philosophy of keep it simple. And she applies that to everything, from house cleaning to couponing to making dinner.

There was one section where she was talking about her husband, how he goes from sun up to son down, and just makes her feel lazy. I laughed. I had to. Jonathan does that to me all the time. He doesn't try to, he's just better at managing his time than I am. And that's okay too. We all have our strengths.


She does mention God a lot. And that's fine. Even though it's not what I believe, I can still use those aspects of time management for other reasons. I get a lot of helpful information from Crystal on her blog (http://moneysavingmom.com) She doesn't ever make me feel like less of a person because I don't believe the same way. And that's what makes an awesome blogger. :)

Excellent short read, very helpful!! One of my goals is to become better at managing my time, so immediately I was drawn to read this! I have followed Crystal for a while and love how she’s real and honest! This definitely flow through her writing as well! The tips she gives are extremely helpful to me as a SAHM of littles and for one who could use a little more structure to our day!
