We are a support group designed just for you, the at-home mother of today! You are interested in the world around you, want a variety of activities for you and your children, and are proud of your choice of at-home mothering for your families! We know, because we're at-home mothers, too!You need a support group that understands your special needs as an at-home mother and we're it! We are the first, largest and fastest growing support group specifically for ALL at-home mothers:Here are some of the things that make us special:
We meet during the day, when at-home mothers most need support!
We believe being a mother shouldn't isolate you, so mothers may bring their children with them! For meetings, groups set up children's rooms with member volunteer babysitters (the children think they are at their own club!) and at activities, having children present is considered a natural part of life!
We have an established support system for our local chapters. Our volunteer Coordinators are experienced MOMS Club Moms who are ready to help you every step of the way! You can call them for advice, ideas and help! Where there are several groups in an area, we help set up luncheons and get-togethers so officers and members can network and exchange ideas, and we have special newsletters and other support just for our local chapters and members!
The MOMS Club is a nonprofit corporation and a 501 (C) (3) publicly-supported charity registered with the IRS!
We know being an at-home mother today means making a financial sacrifice, so dues to our local chapters are only $15-30 per year! Registration fees for chapters are only $30 per group or $2 per member per year!
At-home mothers of any age children are welcome! You don't have to leave the group when your children enter school! We know you still need support as your children grow!

Easy Ways to Create Order
by 6 people Tips to help you make organization a part of your daily routine.
Take 10 minutes this weekend to implement these sanity-saving suggestions:
Park it. Find a permanent spot for keys, eyeglasses, and remote controls. If you use something daily, put it within arm's reach. Store rarely used items in out-of-the-way shelves and drawers.
Assign it. Designate a shelf in the entryway for each family member. Also assign each child a see-through storage box for odds and ends and a hanging folder for important documents.
Time it. Don't assume your children can get ready in an hour. Some kids need more time, some less. Take out a stopwatch and find out exactly how long it takes each child to get dressed in the morning and walk out the door. This will help you decide when your kids need to be woken up.
Just do it. If something takes less than a minute (rinsing a mug, putting away a book), do it right away -- even if you're on your way out the door. One minute now doesn't have a big impact on your schedule, but if you let all those one-minute tasks pile up, it's a different story.

Time Savers
by 17 people Smart strategies to keep your day running like clockwork.
Pages in this story
After slowly, lovingly settling my toddler and baby down for their after-lunch naps, I morph into an Olympic sprinter. I dump in a load of laundry, check my e-mail, clean up the kitchen, make some phone calls. The clock is running, and I'm determined not to waste a minute! With two kids under 3, every second counts. Sound familiar? Below are some strategies I've learned to make the most of my day. One of these afternoons, when I get everything done with five minutes to spare, I'll be kicking back with a cup of tea to celebrate!
Anxiety-Free Mornings
The number one way to keep your mornings sane: Prepare the night before. Choose an outfit for you and for every child. Pack lunches. Stock the diaper bag and your work bag so you can just grab and go in the morning.
Designate an area on your to-do list, calendar, or PDA specifically for the morning, says organizing expert Jamie Novak, author of 1,000 Best Quick and Easy Time-Saving Strategies (Sourcebooks). Outline musts such as giving baby her medicine or baking cupcakes for your toddler's playgroup.
Wear your keys on a stretch coil bracelet so your hands are free to carry your child or whatever gear you need as you head out the door.
Hang a mirror outside your bathroom, Novak suggests. Instead of competing for time in front of the sink, you can do a quick check as you dash by. (No baby-food bananas smeared on my shirt? Yay!)

The No-Yelling Morning Routine
by 20 people To get out of the house without losing sneakers or your temper, follow our simple plan.
Lay out clothes.
Make lunch and leave it in the fridge.
Sign permission slips, and write notes to the teacher.
Pack backpack and leave it-and anything else that needs to go to school-by the front door.
Get up 15 minutes earlier so you're not rushed.
Give your child a to-do list (with pictures if he can't read yet) so you don't have to nag him to get dressed, brush his teeth, or make his bed.
Keep the TV off.
Serve a healthy breakfast.
Give your child a big kiss before you say goodbye.
