Today, I had some help with my housekeeping and it was a dream! It’s a trade I have going and I am loving it.

It brings to mind a friend of mine who, on occasion, will say that with her own hard work and the help of her grown children, she’s gotten on top of her yard again, (you know who you are!) and it messes with my mind because I don’t know how often I would be able to say such a thing! Maybe in the spring before the weeds are giving me a run for my money, or maybe in the fall right after everything is put to bed!

But it seems that the feeling of “being on top of things” has got to be heady stuff! And today with a little help, I’m feeling so encouraged.

Made me wonder about you women with little people at home. Could you use a hand up? How would it feel to be just a little closer to the calm that comes with the deep clean, that you would like? What would that help look like? What skills do you have that might facilitate some kind of trade?

One thing that occurred to me today is the idea of a simple arrangement of- you help me and I’ll help you- maybe you and a friend attack some job at her house this week for an hour and next week hit something else at your’s!

Or maybe it’s, you watch my kids for an hour while I get a few things done, and I’ll return the favor!

When my daughter was a young teenager, we had a cute lady in the neighborhood who hired her, and a few of her friends, to come to her home to help her clean.  She chose the younger girls because she wanted to train them to do things the way she wanted them done, and I’m sure it helped that they weren’t expensive help either! I felt that it was great training for the girls and a big lift for the woman who was the mother of several very young children. It was impressive and instructive to me to see what proactive looks like!

Look for the win-wins that may be lurking right around the corner!

Godspeed you to your greatest good!

Love,

Jacque
