Every year I dread to hear these words from my husband “Get ready for some football!”  “Again??!”  I moan….My husband is a huge die hard football fan, so throughout the season and particular every sunday I am known as a “Football Widow”.  Even though my hubby’s favorite team – NY Jets – are not playing in this SuperBowl, he’ll still be glued to the TV as this is the end of his favorite season…

So in speaking to some of my gal pals, I came up with a list of ways on surviving Sunday’s Superbowl as well as any event your hubby may be ga-ga over:

  1. Get to know the game or at least pretend to. The more involved you are, the better you will feel. Not only will you will feel like you are a part of the game, but your husband is more likely to understand you when you are watching a “Sex and the City” marathon.
  2. Give and Take.  Arrange to have his friends over for the entire season and have him send you to a spa or shopping spree – without the kids!
  3. Family Bonding.  Get the kids together and enjoy an afternoon of watching some football, the kids will love it.  Just be sure to entertain them during the commercials since they are intended for adult males.
  4.  Do Your Research. If you are a newlywed or have been married for a few years pick up “Help! I’m a Newlywed … What Do I Do Now? Wife-Saving Advice Every New Bride Must Know to Survive the First Year of Marriage” its a great how-to on surviving the things your hubby loves, but you may not.
  5. Write your hubby a love note saying “You can be my football quarterback anytime.”
  6. Attire.  Wear the colors of your husband’s favorite team. If he loves the NJ Jets, find something green in your closet to throw on, whether is a cozy short or a lacy lingerie.
  7. All in all, just sit back and enjoy..its only for a couple of hours.

Happy Monday! Please welcome Grace Palmer, a mom who works from home and is the author of RomanticFrugalMom.com, about a womans quest to keep romance alive no matter what the odds.

Grace is sharing with us today tips and advice on how become an effective stay at home mom.

Why Being a Stay at Home Mom Is The New Going-Out In 2012.

Have you heard about the increasing number of moms that have found a way to perfectly balance family and work by staying at home instead of heading to the office every day? If you haven’t heard about this growing trend, than it is high time to learn the secrets and rewards of being a successful stay-at-home mom while at the same time earning a living. With the advent of the digital age, all kinds of jobs can be accomplished from any location with an internet connection. What better way to combine motherhood and work? This growing trend of working from home while the children are young might just be answer to the dilemma of how to manage work and family in a two-income home. Single moms find it the ideal way to support their family, and even grandmothers tasked with caring for their grandchildren have discovered this advantageous arrangement.

Research is often the key to successfully finding employment opportunities that let you work from home. Use the abundant research resources on the internet to help you avoid discouraging scams while learning the secrets of finding legitimate work-from-home options. Make an inventory of your skills, write a great resume and find the perfect home business. There is everything available from writing articles to submitting online accounts, networking with people through social media right through to opportunities to simply strike out on your own with an ecommerce store. There is nothing more satisfying than being a success at both earning income from home and meeting your children’s needs! There are whole communities of work-from-home moms on the internet. They can offer invaluable insight into reliable work opportunities, time management skills and even provide a welcome source of social interaction, something that traditional stay-at-home moms lacked. There are numerous small businesses that are local in nature rather than being internet based that can also be managed from home.

Of course, the major benefit is always being available for your children. The early years are the most important in a child’s life and who better than mom to be with them? The rewards for both mother and children are simply innumerable! You are there to experience every step in their rapid development, and you will never have the hassles and fears that outside-the-home childcare frequently brings. You are right there to guide and educate your children during these most important early years. View Post
