What is something you make sure you do every day despite how hectic being a mom and life can be?
I see some moms say they don’t dress up any more or have time to put on makeup. Some moms say they don’t have time to do things they use to enjoy like read or draw etc. So what is something you make time for?
For me it’s a shower. I have to shower every day. Even if that means we all shower together I can not go without. I want to start putting more time into me as well like doing my hair and makeup more.
i try to make sure i get to shower alone at some point. or at least just with my husband rather than children lol. or having to rush my shower because the baby is occupied playing in there but that only lasts a few minutes before she’s bored and wants out lol. so i try to make time for a real deal nice 30 minute shower lol.
I also make all the beds in the am and do all the dishes during the day. I don’t like when there’s dishes in the sink. I do try to read a little everyday but right now I’m in between books
I have to tidy up the living room area so it’s all clean. Otherwise I feel anxious and can’t relax. Then I sit in my clean living room, watch Netflix or read and relax after the kids go to bed 😂
for me it's a tea and one of the crime docs I watch on Netflix and a shower I love my showers even if it's with a toddler lol
I make my bed. If I don't do anything else in the day, at least I accomplished one thing. 😂
Dishes 😂 but seriously, brush my hair, brush my teeth, and atleast every other day shower and straighten my hair if not every day
Shower. I've honestly never understood the mom's who say I haven't showered in a week. It takes 2 seconds to jump in and at least wash your body and face.
Mine is the same as yours showering. But I really want to make time everyday for reading and writing. It helps with my anxiety a lot so it’s something I need to make time for. So thanks for this post for reminding me to make time for myself lol.
I’m the same as u I have to shower every day. It’s the first thing I do in the am, right after getting a cup of coffee.
I have to put my make up on. No matter what. It isn't much, foundation, concealer (hides the dark circles lol) and mascara. It makes me feel more awake and alive. I do also make an effort to put together an outfit. I'm a sahm and it keeps my mental health in check when I put myself together every morning even if I have no plans.
SAHMs
Do you shower and dress before SO gets home? Put on a little makeup? Do you think it matters?
Push presents are stupid, and women who expect “push presents” from their SO’s are even more stupid. You’re giving life to a human being for Pete’s sake! You don’t need a damn present for something your body is made to do. 🤦🏻♀️
There, I said it. 🤷🏻♀️
Planning on another baby...?
So for my first time moms when do you plan on having your second child?
68 more days to go
How much longer do you mamas have and time sure does feel like it's standing still.
So idk if I’m an asshole for thinking this but a girl I used to go to school with is having her 3rd kid and she’s planning a baby shower and she had one with her other two. I feel like a baby shower is something you do with ur first pregnancy. I live far from my family so I didn’t have one but i did have a baby registry and I’m not even doing that with this pregnancy. Idk I just feel like 3 baby showers is a lot! Especially when she gets things handed to her. Idk maybe I’m an ass for thinking that
Work out for atleast an hour!
