ABOUT ME:
Hi! I'm Sarah, mom of 3 daughters and wife to a busy chef! I have been a working mom from the start and have had jobs as an English teacher, nanny, daycare provider in our home, and now I focus solely on helping other busy moms create balance that sticks with my brand Work Life Glue. I am homeschooling and juggling creating a business while being a mom/wife/friend/daughter/sister/etc. It can be a lot, but I'm SO glad this is my life! I love to share how I fit everything in, how I keep our home organized and functioning well for my family, what I do to keep my girls learning and having fun, how I stay on top of all the things that come along with being a mom and homemaking, and so much more! I would love to have you as part of our Gluestick family, so please subscribe!

This is why I watch you. I'm not a mom, I'm 58, I'm married and work full time. I'm also an introvert and thinking about starting my own business for my retirement years. Your tips work for people without kids. 3 or 4 of your tips work for me. Bundling tasks, meal prepping, assigning tasks to days and scheduling housework task to days. All good tips for anyone and personally things I need to work on. Thanks. P.S. I'm praying for your Dad and your whole family. I've been there.

[@HomeschoolGlue]

[@dianaholbrook]

Our son is a freshman in college this year but I enjoyed listening! We LOVED our audiobooks while commuting here and there. Great way to bond over great stories or simply learning ABC songs😊

Love the idea of doing certain tasks on certain days!

[@livingwithartie39]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Where did you get the white dresser ?

[@DomesticKrys]

Also, I forgot to comment on your last video but I’m so glad that the go fund me is gaining traction. I’m praying for your family and I know God is with you all during this.

[@jenniferhenderson6154]

Great video i meal plan on a Saturday then shop I batch cook on the Monday x

[@CarryGrace]

Great video! Assigning work tasks to a certain day is huge. It makes such a difference!

[@HomeschoolGlue]

It is a life saver for me too!

[@PerseveranceMama]

Thanks you! Great tips!! I definitely find that assigning tasks to certain days makes a huge difference for me! I'm working on refining those more! And making them more habitual.💜💖

[@HomeschoolGlue]

I’m glad that also works so well for you!

[@rachelday9585]

I used to take my kids shopping with me before COVID hit. Now I don't, it's my only break from being mom so they stay with my mom while I shop. I get groceries delivered from Walmart and Kroger so I only have to go into Aldi and Meijer if I need things from there. We do assign tasks to days though, such as laundry on Tuesdays

[@thefreckledmama2192]

These are great tips! I’ll be transitioning to working from home in a couple weeks so this video was very beneficial to me. Thank you!

[@HomeschoolGlue]

I hope these help!!!

[@carlanathaly5319]

Love your videos! Do you have a video on how to create an Etsy shop? Do you make the shirts yourself?

[@HomeschoolGlue]

I don’t have a video on it. I outsource the printing but do all the designs myself

[@MrsMomsHomeschool]

so true with tip #1 I need to start doing this bc I have so many appointments to make and I keep putting it off bc it's taking time from everything else. OMG what. is that yodel book reading thingy?! I love the idea of schedule work and mothering tasks. Thank you for the ideas!!

[@HomeschoolGlue]

It’s called a Yoto Player - I have a video about it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a526qWd7qsR6nMk

[@ThisMamasHouse]

The more kids I have the less I read to them 😬 you always inspire me to read to them more!!! I love the bath time reading idea!!

[@HomeschoolGlue]

It’s so true! It’s harder to find time to read to the little ones especially if it isn’t a routine!

[@NaturalFamily-ov8cm]

Meal prepping in South Africa is such a problem. We have had rolling blackouts for years now, frozen things just do not last unless you have an inverter or solar panels. Which cost a fortune.

[@NaturalFamily-ov8cm]

For this same reason, we can't really use crock pots, rice cookers, bread machines etc. If they decide to cut the power, no dinner.

[@maria_w311]

Hi Sarah 👋

[@breynolds7196]

Where did you get that couch floor thing-y in your school space?

[@HomeschoolGlue]

It’s called a Nugget!

[@lenapattersonplans]

💯 using planning systems and templates is a game changer for productive parents! Once I assigned different tasks to different days as well as created templates for myself like meal planning and cleaning and even monthly chores, I was amazed at how organized I became!

[@HomeschoolGlue]

It takes such a load off your mind when planning your days and weeks as well!

[@BustlingHome]

How do you manage your timr when a kid or baby, for whatever reason, interrupts or co-opts your work time?

[@HomeschoolGlue]

I just move stuff around when that happens. But we are 8 years into this routine so it rarely gets seriously interrupted anymore.

[@mrs.n.7314]

[@BustlingHome]

A caveat to doing appointments all at one time: taking 7 kids under 8 to the optometrist at once does not go well. I'm only taking two at a time next time.

[@HomeschoolGlue]

I didn’t mean doing them all at the same time - I means scheduling them all. I hate scheduling things so doing it all at once sucks but also saves me from doing it later
