The religious thing. For us that are of a different faith. We have christian stuff crammed down our throats all the time. In the Bible Belt, some of us have to hide who we are. I have been fired cause of my religion before.
So it’s nice to be able to get away from religion that we are not believers of. Dave Ramsey… I cant handle him cause he just talks to much, last time I tried. I try to just learn the basics from him so I don’t have to listen to the religion nonsense.
America is suppose to be about freedoms of religion. But it’s being pushed only freedom is If your a Christian religion. From politics to our money. To holidays to the store. To work holidays.

I just *might* be working on that very think as my next book. But I’m curious why the religious side bothers you so much that you won’t consider reading it for the info that would be helpful?

Anyone have experience with a book or whatever that offers it in a non religious perspective?

I use both paper and electronic! I have a sort of hybrid system that works best for my brain 🙂

If you use electronic forms, is there a specific app you use?

The secret is that there is no secret… it’s a lot of work, and everything doesn’t happen all the time. Like most people, I do the best I can with what I have where I’m at, while constantly striving to do better tomorrow…

After reading your home organization tips I have a big questions. I have two kids and run a business and know what it takes to cook, clean, write content and run a business and home. How do you provide all this content, research and manage to do all that you list in your daily, weekly, monthly routine (cooking, cleaning, meal prep)? I must know your secret.

I do many of the things you do, too. MROL is a great book, but was hard for me to implement when I had only a preschooler and a baby. I’ve been meaning to re-examine my Rule now that my children are 3, 6, and 9. I find my biggest struggle is to keep my children on task. My 6 year old likes to sleep in, and I like to afford that to her because we can and that seems to be her natural rhythm. My 3 year old “requires” me to be at the bathroom while she goes. My 9 year old is pretty good about staying on schedule, but likes to snuggle at night to catch up on one-on-one time. I’d love to see how you get all of the homeschooling done. We go from about 9:00-3:30 with a recess, lunch, and reading break (about 2.5 hours total break). I’d like to get done more efficiently, and know if can happen if my children can transition more smoothly. God bless!

But I am so thankful for this one. I too am a homeschool mom and have desired to have a home of order and joy. I have recently been asking God “How I can make this happen?” I actually was lying in the bed the other night crying because I was thinking “if I can’t get my home in order with two kids? How could I do it with more? Can I get my act together enough to be able to raise another child well? I also want to do more for my church, lead a small Bible study, and become a bigger part of my homeschool coop. Can I do all this?” This post if not for anyone else, was meant for me thank you for introducing me to “A mothers rule of life.” It is exactly what I needed.
I also appreciated the checklist in every room. I had started to do it a couple of months ago and only did it for my daughters room. And I didn’t really follow through with it. I knew it was something I should do for every room but I never got around to it. Thank you for confirming that I needed to do it and I implemented it today. The kids Loved it.

Thank you for taking the time to let us know how you have successfully managed your family of 8! Thank you for answering the call to help other mothers and for listening to the Holy Spirit’s guidance to post this today.

Thank you

Thank you for sharing. My copy of the book A Mother’s Rule just arrived today. Would you be willing to share your weekly and monthly schedules as well? I’m struggling with how to organize things throughout the week, like laundry, cleaning, groceires, etc. I’m still doing them on an as needed basis and I’m ready for a routine!
Many thanks !!

I don’t know of any similar ones, or I would definitely have linked to them as well. I will say that her advice can definitely be helpful, even to someone with a much different belief system and much of the faith aspect just comes in sharing why she ended up finding a way to have a system in the first place, so perhaps you still may get some valuable information from it.

However, i didn’t even read the summary and totally missed that it is religiously based, and I am not a religious person, but very much in need of a book like that one, do you happen to know of any other books like that that aren’t geared towards religion? I had thought of reading it anyway, but it feels like I will have quite a hard time relating to it if I am not a Christiann unfortunately!
