Have you ever heard of Mandi Ehman? How about the Your Way network of blogs? Everything is covered in those 10 brilliant blogs, from Life to Blogging, Technology to Food, Organizing to Finances (and more in between!) I have been a fan of those blogs and Mandi for quite a while now — and am just amazed by the amount of energy that she brings to the able. I mean really, managing a family with 4 kids, a huge blog network, being active and networking all over the place, and still looking like a superstar? I’m really, truly impressed!

I’ve often wondered to myself, how in the world does this woman keep it all together? Sure, her husband is a stay-at-home-dad — but Mandi also homeschools her girls which equals even more work on her plate. Honestly, I manage a lot of things from home…and I know if we have to make things work and want it to be so, we get it done. But the one thing I have really been striving for lately is a way to make better use of my time to get more accomplished while actually doing less. It sounds crazy, but I do believe it’s actually possible!

There are so many things we all want in life, an many of us work extremely hard every day to achieve those goals. Anyone who tells you that you can have something for nothing is lying to you or trying to take advantage of you — or both!

So today, I’d like to introduce you to Mandi’s newest ebook, How to Have Your Cake and Eat It, Too.

I love this quote from the book:

“Much of the time management and productivity advice for moms focuses on what we can’t have. It tells us that as mothers we can’t have it all, that we need to accept this season of life and that we should delay our dreams and aspirations for another time.

“I disagree.”

Being one of those mothers that works from home and tries to balance multiple businesses, manage my home, be a great mother for Mackenzie, love my husband, pay attention to our pets and keep things running smoothly around our farmhouse; I will assure you that not every day is easy and at the end of many days I am just exhausted. But I also love what I do and am so blessed to be able to follow my dreams and passions while pursuing our dreams for the perfect life.

If you’ve ever dreamed about raising your children while working from home, balancing a career, making sure the house stays in order, keeping the romance alive with your spouse and otherwise taking on the world, you’re going to really enjoy this ebook. It’s broken down into 3 parts, which will help to inspire and direct you.

  1. Fight off the guilt that so many mothers assume and discover how to pursue your passions.
  2. Learn how to manage your time and become more productive so you can follow your dreams while still being there for your friends and family.
  3. Find out how to manage your home more efficiently so you’ve got time for the truly important things in life.

How to Have Your Cake and Eat It, Too is an ebook to truly inspire you to follow your dreams. It’s not going to get into the nitty gritty of tax laws or what work-from-home-solution is right from you. It’s to give you encouragement that you can truly be a successful business person (whether working from home or elsewhere), parent, home manager, spouse and your own personal all at once. You don’t need to feel like you are cheating your family or yourself just because you want to pursue your passions. In fact, you will probably even be making your family happier in the long run!

I’m so thrilled that Mandi has decided to share this ebook with two lucky No Ordinary Homestead readers during the Refueling Power Moms Giveaway (October 6-10). I can’t think of a better, more pertinent tool for finding a way to balance everything in your life (even if it never truly feels like “balance” as its defined).
