In this episode of A Purpose Driven Mom, we are joined by Laura from Mama Systems. Laura is a mom of 10 kids and has had to create systems within her home so that she can have a less chaotic and more joyful life.

Are you ready to go into your week feeling less frazzled and more in control?
You need this checklist to help you set up your week, save time running around and plan out time for you!
Laura Hernandez and her husband, Tony, live in Parker, Texas. They are parents to 10 kids between the ages of 1 and 14 — a mix of biological and adopted, typically developing and with special needs, homeschooled and public schooled. When Laura’s family suddenly grew from 4 kids to 10 kids over the course of four years, she struggled. Laura read a number of books and sought after advice. She quickly realized there was no ready-made solution for her family so she set out to create systems and routines that were customized for her family’s needs. After hearing over and over again “How do you do it?!”, Mama Systems was born. From free resources on MamaSystems.net to one-on-one coaching, Laura is dedicated to helping Mamas take their homes from chaotic-and-reactionary surviving to calm-and-intentional living.
