Blogging and working from home isn’t always easy. It requires lots of scheduling, self-discipline and balance. This week, after coming back from SoFabCon, I felt inspired and motivated to find ways to create a more manageable schedule. Not just for me, but to benefit my family as a whole. I need a schedule that doesn’t include countless nights with less than 5 hours of sleep. One I can work through without having email, Facebook and Twitter open every waking moment of the day to consistently create distractions. One that allows ‘me time’. Then, with perfect timing, Metlife creates another challenge for me: #SocialBlackout.

“I wrote this post to help promote Mom Central’s #BingIt Twitter Party. I received a promotional item as a thank you for my time. All opinions expressed are my own, plus I love Twitter parties.”

I know I am not the only one who is always running around trying to do it all. My mind is always racing with thoughts of what the kids need, what my husband needs, what the house needs, etc. I do my best to find things to make our lives run smoothly and make my daily tasks easier and quicker.
