TAKE YOUR TIME

So many ages and stages a parent must endure. Tiny toes, toddler, tween and teen, whew! And how many of those stages are you going through at one time? Two toddlers and two tweens here! LOL. Life is wonderfully LOUD! So taking time to renew and gain energy enough for this brood is a must.  Sometimes a busy mom is an unhealthy mom, and many times she's not even aware because she so busy going and doing.  Getting away is not always easy and for some of our solo mamas, it's not even an option.  So here's my BAP tip to find that time, beautiful!

BAP Tip: Bump bed time an hour earlier.

Now, this may not be a success right away depending on the age of your kids. But they will get used to it.  It's your hour to yourself in the making.  And I also advise to prepare the kids for bed 15-30 minutes before so you have that entire hour for you to sip tea, read a book, take a long bath, write in your journal, catch a favorite TV show, or whatever you like.

When you make it a ritual to include you in everyday life, you become at being you and a better mom.
