After a full day of work and coming home to a topsy-turvy family, there is little time for Mom. Make time for yourself, because a mom who works hard all day deserves a break. To rejuvenate, relax and sometimes to regain your sanity.

Do a quick power clean after the children are asleep. Set a timer for fifteen minutes. In that time, put the toys away and organize the living room. When the timer goes off, plop onto the couch and enjoy a clean, quiet home.

In the morning, try waking up thirty minutes before normal. While your family is still asleep, relax in your favorite chair with an uninterrupted cup of coffee.

You work hard all week and one of the things that all working mothers dread is the weekend cleaning when you would rather attend their sporting activities, take them to the park or curl up with a good book and just relax! Consider hiring a professional cleaning service, like Merry Maids, monthly or every other week to wash away your stress, sweep out the clutter and make your home sparkle and shine so you can have time to spend your weekends with your family and friends.
