So, life leaked out like gack in a cracked container – its time to get it back

01.13.2017 by Sarah //

I’m back!

I really let time management get away from me over Christmas Break.

It was good. We really needed to focus on family and let a lot of things go. So we did. We honed in on our kid’s emotional states, spent time with them, and provided as much structure as possible while still participating in Christmas festivities.

But, now I’m really itching to get back to my goals, productivity, and YOU!

Do you feel me? Did life get a little “oozy” over the last few weeks? Kind of leaking out everywhere like the gack in a cracked container? (If you haven’t found THAT stuff in a puddle somewhere I salute you!)

Well, it’s time to get back at it! I’ve started flexing my bedtime and morning routine muscles again and am LOVING IT. As a foster mama, it took me a good long while to figure out what routines would both benefit me and work for my children (and every time we added a new kiddo they changed). The typical time management stuff just doesn’t work for us foster mamas! So, here are my Very-Unique-Foster-Parent-Only-Tips for getting your time back this year. Put your info here and I’ll send it to you right now.


I’d also encourage you to check out Crystal’s Make Over Your Mornings or Make Over Your Evenings courses (whichever you think will suite you best). Right now, this is the only time management resource out there I recommend for us Foster Mamas. Crystal isn’t a foster parent, but her info is short, simple and flexible enough to work for us and our unique situations (Plus, they are really inexpensive – usually $17).

So, Happy New Year Foster Mamas! Let’s find a new container for that gack.
