The organised home

I just came across this blog post and found it to be very encouraging. I personally find it very hard to keep the home organised and in tip top condition all the time, but I would like to try out these tips insha Allaah.


I don't like to houseclean. I would much rather read a book, learn something new, or be with my husband or kids. On the other hand, I love a clean, organized home that is also beautifully decorated. I suppose this is a bad combination, but over the years, these desires have driven me to find ways to have my cake and eat it, too. Here are some organizational tips I learned from various people and places:

If you have a lot of possessions, your home can't stay neat and organized unless you are willing to spend a lot of time keeping it so. I am not willing to do this, so I ruthlessly purge on a regular basis.

The more decorations you have, the more you have to dust. Think: Decorations = Time. I choose a few, well-placed decorations and give away those that we are getting tired of looking at.

Boost that energy!

Ok, so we all need an energy boost now and again, well I actually could do with one every day! us mums work hard masha'Allaah, tending to the kids, cleaning, cooking, studying, blogging (had to get that one in!), shopping, and if you homeschool there's the planning and teaching on top of it all. But we need to keep ourselves going, can't be lying around on the couch all day now can we, especially when we've got kids depending on us, so here's just a small list of some energy boosters which should do the job insha Allaah :

1. Sleep - Ok, for those who know me and my sleeping habits, are probably cracking up right now, but I'm working on it. Sleep is vital for our brains and body to function properly, and repair itself at the end of a long day. 8 hours sleep per night is recommended, and this can have a huge effect on how you feel the next day, I know myself when I go to bed late, which is quite often, I feel so irritated the next day, snappy, and not very motivated to do anything, I just feel like climbing back into bed! but, when I've made that effort to get to bed earlier, my mood is much better, and I'm more on top of things.


2. Exercise - another great way to boost your energy supplies, also research has shown that exercise can be a remedy for depression


3. Water - If we're not drinking enough water, our energy can be zapped, so can our concentration, over 50 percent of our body is made up of water, and we lose it when we sweat or lose urine. So it's highly important we aim to drink at least 6-8 glasses a day.


4. A good healthy breakfast - Research has shown that if there is a combination of carbohydrates and protein, it will make your energy high last longer, as sugar is slowly and steadily released throughout the morning. Try adding seeds to your cereal, fruit to your yogurt, egg on your toast, honey to your porridge for a long lasting boost.


5. Walking - Get the kids ready and take a walk to the park, the fresh air will do wonders for your energy.

You are more than likely aware of the top 5 energy boosters, but if you do find yourself feeling sluggish often, non-motivated, then take a look at your lifestyle and see if your leaving out any of the above. Oh and by the way, chocolate and fizzy drinks may give you an instant energy boost, but it doesn't last very long, you just end up feeling the same way after a short while.

Changes

I have decided to make some changes to this blog, hence one of the reasons I decided to change the name. Instead of just providing home based job information, I will share any information I come across that pertains to the stay at home mom, such as health and beauty, tips for the home, recipes etc.. the list could go on and on!

I hope that this will be a beneficial resource for any woman who may happen to read it.

Customer service agents

I haven't posted for a while now, been very busy with homeschooling and homelife. I will try to update this blog alot more often. Below I have just compiled a small list of companies who employ home based customer service agents, these are mainly based in the United States, but some do employ agents from other countries.

• Alpine Access (charges a fee for a credit,drug and background test combined, but is legit)
• Convergys
• SpeakWrite (formerly known as CyberSecretaries)
• LiveOps (charges a fee for background check, but is legit)
• WorkingSolutions

The above companies may or may not have openings right now, but it's worth checking.

Earn money for typing (US residents only)

Here's a nice little company that I've come across a few times, they allow you to earn money from typing at home. They do not advertise their website, but rely on word of mouth alone, through recommendations etc... They are completely risk free, you don't pay any money to them whatsoever, and your not committed, so that means you could pull out at any time, if you found that the work is not for you. If you encounter anybody claiming to represent KeyForCash who wants to charge you a fee, they are not legitimate.
There are a few requirements in order to join, first you have to be 18 or over, live in one of the 48 states of the US, and legally able to work there. You sign up and they put your details on their list and contact you when they have work, its that easy.
