Would you rather... Tweak or Twerk??

Here's an audio clip so you can listen to the Mom Tip while you change the baby's diaper!
Hi, I’m Regan Barnes from Momivate, and this is your two-minute Mom Tip empowering you to elevate your mothering experience.

Every family needs systems!

We need systems that help our household run smoothly;
  • that preserve our sanity; 
  • prevent arguments over ambiguity;
  • and provide structure so that in the midst of the storms of life, we can still remain afloat!
However, setting up the system can seem so daunting, so sometimes it just doesn't happen... and we just go along surviving rather than thriving.

I think one of the obstacles to setting up a system is worrying that it won't take... that the rest of the family team won't follow the system. That's where tweaking comes in handy.

Please note, I said TWEAKING, NOT TWERKING! There was a time when twerking was a very uncomfortable dance move. So I just want to make sure that other than the discomfort associated with both, tweaking and twerking are very different things.

A successful system needs tweaking! Once the initial scaffolding has been erected, it is helpful to step back and observe and acknowledge weaknesses, and then TWEAK!

This can help the family agree to the initial structure attempt, if they know you're willing to tweak.

Make sure your family knows you’re saying TWEAK, Not twerk!

Once a structure has been in place a long time, tweaking might be a little more uncomfortable -- but when it's necessary, do it anyway! You’re the mom!

What needs structure in your home management, Mom? Visit the Momivate website for ideas that you can TWEAK to make them work for your family. Then share if this practice elevates your mothering!
