Spending Time

Spending time with your kids is important, it helps them understand how it important it is to have a parent around that cares, and most of all cares about what they like to do. Just simply watching High School Musical 3 or going outside and playing with them. Those simple things are what count, not buying the latest toy or the new pair of shoes. Its the love you give.

Organization is Key

Without organization day to day things around the house or with school can become hetic. In order to maintain sainity in your life, have a daily routine. Keep the kids on a decent betime schedule. Monday-Thursday 8 or 8:30 p.m. at the latest, this rule of thumb is especially important for kids who are in school. On the weekends let them run their energy out, but make sure their in bed at a decent time. 10 p.m. at the latest. Also during the school week prepare breakfast ahead of time. The night before works best for me, since my children love oatmeal, I get the instant packs that are easily pourable, and all you have to do is add the hot water. And when it comes to clothing for the week, iron ahead of time. Sunday is when I choose my daughters' clothes and iron them for the entire week, and I let her choose what she wants that way she still feels as though she has a choice. With these simple things out the way, the work and school week may not seem as bad anymore. And if you get really good at organizing, you might even have a little me time at the end of the day. Till next time.

YUNG MOTHER

As most know being a parent is not easy. None the less, being a single young mother is no where near simple. Being that I'm young and have three little ones, I feel I know a good amount of info that could be helpful for both young and older mothers, who find that doing things all on your own are overwhelming to your daily life.
