I'm excited to host Amy Bayliss as a part of her Backwards Blog Tour today. I love Amy's book Pursuit of Proverbs 31 and have been writing some thoughts here at The Pelsers:
And now… Amy!

Time management is a large asset for mothers and homemakers. If we can learn to manage our time, imagine how much we can accomplish! Really, time management is HUGE.
I know you have heard the old saying, “time is money.” Well, that may be true in many cases but unlike money there is no refund for time poorly spent. You get no refunds. Spend wisely.
Saying yes to projects and events that you simply feel an obligation to, or can't say no to, will not be a wise use of your time. You can't do it all. Choose only those that God prompts you to accept, those that are most important to your family, and those that line up with your family's mission statement.
Creating and implementing a Life Management Notebook has saved us
much time and money. I was completely unorganized in my early years of being married. We lived in chaos because I am not a natural homemaker.
I don't have the ingrained routine or superb memory to get it all done all the time. I have to have a guide. That is what my Life Management Notebook is to me. It is my all-inclusive information and guide book. Whether it is an emergency situation or just a slow day at home I can count on this book to have what I need to get to the next step quickly.
If we can learn to designate our time, we could accomplish what needs to be done.
If you've ever wanted to tear the 31st chapter of Proverbs out of your bible this book is for you.
She is a wife, mom, business owner, seamstress, she serves the needy, speaks life and wisdom, and seems to be quite the major overachiever, perfectionist type.
Except that…she's not.
Come along and journey with Amy and take a look at the real woman of Proverbs 31. She isn't as perfect as she seems. In fact, I think she is a lot like you and me.
