The working moms guide to better plans and better days
It’s important to plan your work week. Planning is a helpful practice that leads to increased productivity, better time management, and reduces stress. I believe planning is one of the primary reasons that I can juggle competing priorities and control the chaos. In today’s post, I am going to share some of my work week planning tips.
Thriving Motherhood
These tips are for working mothers who are looking to move beyond surviving in motherhood to thriving. Another word that I like to associate with thriving is flourishing. By definition “thriving” is to be successful or make steady progress

To me thriving in motherhood includes making progress towards goals, living a balanced life, and enjoying the journey!
Work Week Planning Tips
