Complete Guide for Stay-at-Home Moms: When You Need Homemaking Tips

Despite popular opinion, life as a stay-at-home mom is not all lunches with the ladies and eating bon bons on the couch while catching up on our “soaps”. (I think the last time I watched a soap opera was in high school!)

No, there is REAL work to be done as a mom, wife and homemaker. 

Yes, the real “dirty” work is necessary, so we have put together a resource to help make things a little easier, more stream-lined and possibly even better organized so you can have more time to spend doing the fun work of being a stay-at-home mom.

(Although it is pretty fun when the bathroom is clean…for all of the 5 minutes that it lasts!)

Homemaking tips for stay-at-home-moms: cleaning, organization, DIY.

The work that we have to do each day can feel monotonous or tedious. (How many crumbs do we sweep up, dishes do we wash, diapers do we change, bathrooms do we tidy up?!)

Here are homemaking tips that we SAHM bloggers use and have included as part of A Complete Guide for Stay-at-Home Moms.

We have a couple of bloggers who have shared many cleaning and organization tips. I want to feature them and their articles and then you can scroll down to view even more homemaking tips from other SAHM bloggers organized by category.

    I have been reading some of these books, and now I look back at my bookshelf, which makes me want to read it again.

    Of course there is REAL WORK to be done. We the house moms need to really fight for everyone else to see and acknowledge the things we provide!

    Thank you for the great collection of links! Cleaning is definitely something that we don’t like at all, but if we neglect it for more than a couple days, we just don’t feel like at home anymore… Anyone else having that?

    When you are a stay at home mom your work is to keep the house clean and tidy and to make sure that all the housework is done. It is great that some women have the opportunity to be stay at home moms. It definitely isn’t easy to do all the cleaning everyday but the great thing is that you can spend enough time with your kids! My sister is a stay at home mom and she definitely will appreciate the guide. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
