The winter break is fast approaching, and as a mum, you need to find ways to keep your children entertained while the countdown to Christmas continues. Your kids will understandably be so excited to have Santa visit and to celebrate Christmas day with you and other loved ones. However, as you already know, over-excited children can be tiresome, so for your sanity, let’s take a look at some of the ways you can entertain the kids to avoid any upset during the festive holidays.
We’ve all been there. It’s Saturday night and you’ve already spent thirty minutes scrolling through each app to find something new to watch but nothing is standing out. Unless you’ve heard about new programmes on the grape vine, it can be difficult to find something that will spark your interest.
Family finances are always a tricky thing, but they become especially challenging when you have kids. If you’re a full-time mum, you might even find it hard to financially contribute, at least as much as you’d like. While the responsibility should not fall on one person’s shoulders, there are ways you can relieve stress when you have kids to ensure you can live comfortably and give your kids the best life possible.
Let’s get cosy and candid about something many of us have experienced, but don’t talk about as often as we should. Yup, you’ve guessed it right; we’re diving deep into the world of marriage post-kids. It’s a time when midnight movie marathons turn into midnight diaper changes and romantic dinners are replaced by kiddie meals. It’s an incredible journey, but it can sometimes feel like you’re steering a ship through stormy waters.
Being a parent is the best job in the world. However, parenting can often mean that you spend your time chasing around after the kids without having a single second spare to spend on yourself. There is no doubt that your new role as a parent can become all-consuming. In those first years as a parent, it can be challenging to find any time for yourself, and your own interests may be put on hold during this time. During this period, many mums start feeling a little lost and no longer like themselves.
