New TLC Show to Offer Real Simple, Real Life Solutions

Think about your day so far - you had to get the kids up and off to school, you've got more deadlines than time at work, there are dishes and laundry piling up at home and let's not even talk about what you are going to fix for dinner tonight. You're lucky you found a spare moment to read this article.

Wouldn't you like more time for your favorite hobby? How about some time to do something fun with family and friends? What would you be willing to do to get make your life simpler?

Well TLC has some answers for you and all you have to do is spend an hour relaxing in front on the television on Friday night.

So pour yourself a glass of wine, put the kids to bed (or better yet send them to a friends or Grandma's for a sleep over), curl up on the couch and turn the channel to TLC at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

Because this Friday TLC partners with Real Simple to premiere its brand new hour-long show - Real Simple. Real Life. - that promises to find solutions to make life easier.

And who doesn't want an easier life? Count me in!

Think of the show as a realistic makeover for the average busy woman - or man. Instead of promises of perfection, Real Simple. Real Life. is offering simple solutions and tips for everyday folks.

People today have lives full of demands and expectations. I know my list of to dos start when I get up and is often still clogging up my list at the end of the day.

Real Simple. Real Life will help people like you and me identify the frustrations that zap our time and keep our plates full. The show then offers personalized tips to end the chaos and give us back more fun time.

"Each week we'll feature a comprehensive, 360-degree lifestyle makeover, using best-in-class experts in a variety of areas to help our real women identify with their day-to-day challenges, and offer realistic solutions and 'aha' tips to help them live an even better life. Viewers at home will identify with these women and be impacted by the makeovers" Executive Producer Jude Weng said. "We embrace the reality that it's not about making the perfect meal or having the most organized closet; we're working with them to make time-saving changes that will let them ad more of the fun 'me' time they're craving back into their lives."

Obviously the show's target audience is women. But these are issues that everyone deals with - men and women - anyone who runs a home, has a job, raises kids or keeps a busy schedule. I know that my husband spends just as much time on the house and with the kids as I do (and sometimes more). So these solutions are for everyone.

Expect solutions to cover everything from smart organization tips to ideas for quick and simple dinners to decoration ideas to fun ways to make entertaining easier.

The show will also include a website - realsimplereallife.com - to go into more detail on the solutions offered in the weekly show. The show and its tips will also be featured in the monthly magazine Real Simple.

I know that I am always in a state of disorganization so I'm really looking forward to seeing what tips the show can offer to get me organized and give me more time to spend with my kids.

So I have reserved my seat on the couch for Friday night at 8 p.m. My bottle of wine is already chilling. Let the help start.
