I Can Do It Myself... I Think. 


Are you the type of person that tries to do everything on their own?? Well, I am! I have been that way for as long as I can remember. I Don't know why I am that way. Maybe it comes from being a perfectionist. I know how I want things done and I know that if I do it myself it will be done the way I want it done. Maybe it is because I hate waiting on other people and want things done in my time frame. 

Whatever reason I have for wanting to do things myself, It has really become a cause for stress in my life. I am only one person and trying to take everything on is very hard. And tiring! It is hard for me to ask my husband for help with anything. Unless I am in bed sick and even then I won't ask as much as I should. It's not that he won't help cause he doesn't mind. It's just I am so used to not asking for help that I refuse to. 

This week I finally realized that there are a lot of things that I need done and I cannot do them all by myself. I need to accept help from people. So On Monday I cleaned the house and I had my daughter's help me. They are 6 and 4 so are able to help with more things. Yes, I am so bad that I barely had them do chores cause it was just easier to do it myself... or so I thought! 

I realized a lot this week. Having them help me out around the house has helped me so much. I have a lot less stress and I was able to clean more instead of doing it all myself and burning out because I was running myself ragged! Having them help also teaches them responsibility and helps them learn how to clean so when they move out and live on their own they will know how to take care of their own house.

So, If you are like me and you struggle to allow people to help you out with stuff. I am here to tell you, Let them! It will give you less stress and more time to enjoy the things you love. You don't have to do it all. No one will think less of you if you accept help and you won't be less of a  Mom/ Wife/ Woman if you let people take on a chore or two.

    I am the same way! I am also learning that it is so much better when you ask for help.

 Hungry Root Have you tried it? What do you think? I recently came across it and I thought it was pretty Genius!! At least for this busy, stay at home mom it is! If you have no idea what this is let me explain it to you. It is a subscription service that delivers once per week. You can cancel at any time or skip a week. I think i will be ordering once every two weeks. So it's not just any regular meal plan subscription. They send you ingredients for a few meals ( you can choose how many you want per week) along with the instructions on how to prepare, They also send you some ready to to eat meals that you just heat up and eat. Super Convenient! The best part is they send Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner!  Oh, And Snacks!!  Now what makes them different than a regular meal plan box is they also send groceries! Like fruits, veggies, breads, etc. So that means less trips to the store! Since 2020, I think the number of people that do not like going to the store has increased drast...

Making money with send earnings

Are you looking for a easy quick way to make some extra cash?? Well, I have found a way! I am a stay at home mom and though I would love to go out, get a job and start making my own money. I'd rather stay home and watch my daughter grow up. So anyway that I can make money from home I am all over it!    So I came across a site called Send Earnings. I have been a member since January 2015. There are tons of ways to make money on there. You can take surveys,play games, check emails,search the web, sign up for free trials, and so on. At first I didn't see what the big deal was. I just saw that there were a lot of emails in my inbox from them. Some I would check others I would delete. It wasnt until a few months ago that I realized that if you scrolled to the bottom of an email it had a red box that read CONFIRM PAID EMAIL and if you clicked on it you got paid! Just for confirming that you received the email! Wow, I was like all this time I've been deleting these emails and I ...
