* Make your schedule be your boss.
* Incorporate your family into elements of ministering together.
* Make your vacations important and fun.
* Attempt to bring the family with you when you are gone and add an extra day in your travel for a day of enjoyment.
* Learn how to be frugal and make the best use of what you have.
* Make every effort that your children have your undivided attention each evening.
* Find home events which your family can do together consistently.
