We have to ask you Suzy what is your secret? How do you do all of these things?
"I could not do ANY of what I do without the support of Dave. His job allows him to be there for the children in the morning before school and take them to activities after school. He is off work on school holidays including Xmas and summer and he is helpful around the house. He is my one BIG assistant. I also have 2 daycare assistants and 4 employees for my book business. I don't do it all alone." |
Do you have any tips or tools that you would like to share with other Moms?
"Well, I have a few things I cannot live without. Ready? First, my Trader Joe's frozen garlic cubes. I use them practically every day in my cooking. I never have to touch garlic because they just pop out of the container into the pan. Second, Mr. Clean magic eraser. Seriously it takes everything off the walls and even when you think you've got a scratch so deep and dark that there is no way to cover it except to re-paint, you only think that because you haven't given Mr. Clean a chance. Lastly, one of my most favorite things in the world is my handy dandy timer, from giving myself a 15 minute power nap to setting some limits to tasks for the kids, you will hear that beep beeping in my house pretty much around the clock."
