My 9 year old is in several after school activities and I have been finding it hard to help her get her homework and chores etc. done before her bedtime.

That really is a lot Heather... I only allow Natalie 2 things... Girl Scouts and something else (right now it's soccer). Think about it... when all your kids are old enough they will also want to be involved in everything under the sun, and you will be going bonkers trying to coordinate everyone's schedules. She may not like it, but for everyone's sanity it's best to set a limit... jmo
good luck!

I would let her know that she needs to choose so many and have to get rid of the rest.
Just let have the choice but limit how many she can do.

I'm with Desiree on this one...we only do two things here at a time and I do my best to get the girls to do one of their two the same thing -the same day...Also to save my sanity. We still have to squeeze in homework and chores right up to bedtime most nights...how do you ever do it??~~Hugs~~
