What Would You Do With More Time During the Holidays?
So what is all the tick tock about these days? Is “time” really that important or is it overrated? Well, you have to first ask yourself, “What would I do if I had more time”? This would be after:
putting in your 40 hours at your work,
- commuting an hour each way,
- grabbing groceries,
- cooking dinner or picking up dinner,
- taking kids to ball practice,
- giving the kids baths,
- ironing work clothes,
- attending school conference,
- walking the dog,
- raking leaves,
- cleaning house all day Saturday,
- going to kids ball games,
- wash, rinse, repeat!
I don’t know about you, but I’m already exhausted just from reading your list! So what one item above could you contract out? You got it! CLEANING! Now ask yourself my first question with the new knowledge that you have an extra 4-6 hours gifted to you. “What will you do with that extra time?” Here is what I envision as we celebrate the magic of Christmas…
Baking and decorating cookies with the kiddos
Curling up by the fire with a book while the kiddos are out playing
Christmas caroling at a retirement home
Making (not buying) homemade gifts for loved ones (Hint, hint family: I love the wine racket from a pallet!)
Take a hot yoga class!

From our family to yours Merry Christmas!
Definitely Sit Down and spend more quality time with family and friends!
Hi Jill – We hope you had more time during the holidays to spend with your family friends.
My cleaning angel with Maid In America was here yesterday and what an amazing feeling to walk into my nice clean home! The time this saves me allows me more time with my work and takes the pressure off! My website business is based in my home so I spend a lot of time here. Having Maid in America clean my home just makes me smile! Not only is my house nice and clean but it doesn’t smell chemically! Thank you Maid in America!
Lori Lyons we are so thankful for you and also happy for you that you know as a business owner how important it is to delegate the things to professionals that save you more valuable time in the end!!! You also do great web design!!!!
Vicky and her team take amazing pride in providing service that is healthy, thorough and dependable. While I’m now living in Florida I can recall when in Atlanta all the praise(s) Vicky received from her loyal and satisfied clients. Her suggestion to give others some extra time is a blessing to ‘the mom’ in charge given all the other responsibilities she has that still need her care, nurturing and attention!
Bonnie Ross-Parker you are a smart woman! You have always, and continue to recognize the importance of “Value”. We sure miss you!!!!
