Today’s smart mothers know how to make life more enjoyable. They don't just stay at home doing household chores,
looking after their kids, or waiting for their husbands to come home. They
spend the day efficiently.
Staying at home
does not mean that your life must revolve around baby-sitting or running after
your kids. You can still be a hands-on mom while creating something on your
spare time.
Balance motherhood
and homemaking by doing things that can make you happy and productive. Be an
artsy mom and try these do-it-yourself crafts:

1. Paper basket weaving. If you have the interest doing handmade craft, this
one is best for you. In doing this project, just bring out old newspapers, magazines,
or calendars. Simply roll the pages or cut them into strips. Flatten or fold
the strips, then weave these tubes into a basket. You have created nice eco-friendly
bins for your kids’ toys, brushes, art tools, or a gift basket.
