Article: Once you've decided who will be the family manager, you need to explain this official situation to the entire family. Although it might feel strange for everyone at first, once they see how much more efficiently the house is run, they will get on board. Explain the role of the home manager, including the vision to run the home like a business. Lay out the six parts of a home for everyone so they can determine what areas of housekeeping they're strong in. If they are strong in an area the family manager is weak, recruit that person to help the home manger. Explain if you have decided on bringing in outside help to assist the family manager with their weaknesses. You're going to set up a family calendar, a chore chart, and a paperwork filing systemall things that may take some getting used to. Explain in detail how each part of these things work. If your family has never been exposed to organization on this level, consider this family meeting a "training" session for "new employees." Of course, you'll train while living daily life as well. No house goes without a rule system of some kind, but now that you are getting purposeful about running the household, a true set of rules needs to be defined. This provides clear understanding about what is expected of each family member. When people have unspoken expectations, disappoint can lead to anger and even resentment. Having a clear set of rules prevents such expectations, thus circumventing anger altogether. Less anger means a happier home, a pleasant result of truly running a household. Make sure that everyone has a voice in setting up these rules. This will prevent resentment and rebellion. Write down the rules you agree upon, perhaps even posting them near the family calendar. One last step to uniting the family under this new style of management is developing a mission statement together. This statement is a one-sentence catchphrase that describes the things your family values most. For example, your mission statement could be like the Three Musketeers, "All for one and one for all."

Article: When measuring an adult head, the tape should be above the ears just as it would be for a baby. However, instead of placing it right above the ears, set the tape so it's about an a little bit above the top of the ears. To get an accurate measurement, it's important that the tape rest above the brows in addition to the eyes. Make sure that it lies flat against the forehead. Pull the tape around the back of the head, making sure to keep it in place across the forehead. You should place the tape so it sits in the middle of the bone, which is the small bump that you can feel at the back of the head. Don't pull the measuring tape too tightly around the head, or you won't get an accurate measurement. You won't be able to read the tape at the back of your mead, so use your fingers to mark the spot where the end of the tape sits against the rest of the tape. Carefully lift the tape off your head and note the measurement. Just as when you're measuring a child's head, it's important to verify your measurement. Repeat the process a second time and possibly a third to ensure that the circumference is accurate.
