Do you know what I learned from my Mom? A good laugh can make even the toughest situation feel lighter!
I improved this, as laughing at my failed attempts to become the “best mother” ever, and sharing it with my fellow mom friends will add some fun to all of our lives… 😊
Now I collected 60 funny working mom quotes, that can be enjoyed by all moms around the globe!
Did you have penpals (or pen pals, I assume both might be correct😅) when you were a kid?
If so, you know what I mean when writing about waiting for the post to arrive, searching for new (and of course beautiful) letter papers for your next letter… finally meeting your pen-friend personally during a summer vacation 😊
​Oh sweet memories!
But do you know what, as I find it really relaxing to handwrite my letters, and I am still in touch with my “good old” penfriend (btw a mother of a Little Girl by now as well 😊), I decided to give snail mail another try!
But this time we both have “mom brains” 😅 a penpal tracker will come really handy to keep track of our sending!
Based on my experiences and the discussions around me, I think there are two main reasons for this: one is that the family needs more money. Let’s face it, in 2024, even with clever budgeting, many households would need 2 salaries. The other reason has more to do with “self-care”, as many moms enjoy having other responsibilities that are not related directly to their kids and family. 😊 They either need a creative outlet, or they would like to continue their professional career besides homeschooling their Little Ones.
Whatever is your reason, I collected the top 10 jobs that homeschool moms can go for in the 2020ies! 😊
Before diving into the exact summer self-care practices, I would like to highlight one important aspect that is not easy to keep in mind as a mom, but I think we should – or at least try to 😊
Do What Makes You Happy!
You know, you can’t pour from an empty cup. Taking care of your personal life and mental health will help you be the best version of yourself.Â
So, let’s embrace the sun-filled days and make the most of these summer months. 🌞
I have been a stay-at-home mom for almost 2 years after the birth of my Daughter. As a new mom, it was pretty challenging to find some me-time for reading as well as make the right choice when there was a wealth of advice and lots of amazing books out there to choose from! Even…
As a young university student, I attended pilates classes with my friends as part of our compulsory physical education 😊 We were happy and healthy, I honestly did not care too much at that time about the benefits of these exercises, we were just doing what the pilates instructor told us and enjoyed the time…
Did you know that dopamine is closely linked to the learning process? This means, that learning new things stimulates the “happiness chemicals” of our brain! 😊 So including learning some new things into your self-care routine, can be something that busy moms can really benefit from! And it does not have to be a full-time degree!…
There’s something incredibly inspiring about that fresh start, the feeling of endless possibilities, and the opportunity to become the best version of ourselves. It’s like a mini adventure we embark on each year! But setting up realistic and achievable goals is not that easy… What I also find challenging is to keep myself focused on these even after the first 2 months of enthusiasm passed 🙈
Low-Stress Holiday. Well, these are the tips I tend to forget to use during our extremely busy holiday season 🙈 So now as I am writing them down and sharing with you, I really hope we all will remember and have a low-stress holiday even as busy moms this year! 😉 Oh and all the upcoming ones!
Mom burnout, something many of us have felt, arises from a combination of factors. Juggling various roles – career, caregiver, partner – can leave us stretched thin. Societal pressures to excel in every area amplify stress. Yet, often we overlook the essential self-care that’s crucial for recharging. It’s like trying to run on an empty tank.
Recognizing these triggers empowers us to combat burnout. Let’s dive into some common mom burnout symptoms to make finding solutions easier!
It has been a long ago since my Little One was born, but I have so many friends around expecting their first babies, that I feel the need to support them with sharing some guidance. 😊 Taking care of yourself after birth is crucial for your well-being and overall recovery. Whether you’ve recently welcomed a…
