Enjoy their wisdom:

Start Up Princess Carol Rice, Founder of CherishBound recommends “never accept recipes from people that have more than five ingredients” and “everyone ovSimple Lifeer age 7 does their own laundry” (but she folds it and puts it back in the baskets).

Start Up Princess Wendy Bird, Founder of My Princess Pearls recommends “use Skype” to chatting with long distance loved ones and “everyone in her family has a cell phone,” including her 8 year old!

Start Up Princess Johnna Andrea Tuttle of Andrea’s Home recommends the daily affirmation, “My life is easy, I have enough time with my children”

    I asked someone today how they balanced work and family – and they said — “I gave in — someone else washes my underwear!” I’m not saying ya’ll have to sub out your underwear washing — but give in, don’t feel guilty, and GET SOME HELP!!!!!!!

    For sure! I have help with cleaning (kitchen, bathrooms), child care (10 hrs a week), she also does some loads of laundry and general cleaning. It’s great! I wish I could get someone to get my oil changed, so I’m thinking about using a company locally called, “My Personal Valet” to do that sort of stuff.

Got something to say?
