Back to school is getting ready!
Mom’s life is not always easy to manage. Between work, children and the couple, we are often overwhelmed. Not to mention the unforeseen. What if this return was the occasion for a new start? Follow our resolutions now for a zen and organized life.
For me all alone
I resume Afro-Brazilian dance / piano / macrame. Family life is good, but it’s even better when you can get away for two short hours a week. So these drawing lessons that I have been thinking about since the birth of the youngest, I finally signed up! Sport, cultural or artistic activity, the main thing is a fixed meeting, every week, to have fun.
I don’t miss my monthly girls night out. It should be mandatory! Getting together with friends is an opportunity to have fun, of course, but / and also to tell each other about all these little things that are so much easier to live with when you realize that they are shared …
I coconut myself one hour a week. Lock yourself in the bathroom (after having previously hung a ‘Do not disturb’ sign on the door), light a candle, run a bath with essential oils… For an hour, one goal: to make bubbles with the foam, and relax. You will see, you will love.
I stop finishing the children’s cake packages. Without embarking on a drastic diet, you can start to resume good eating habits: stop snacking, excess sugar and fat. Bet on fruits, green vegetables and red meat, for all the iron it contains.
Pentru cuplul meu
I book the babysitter every other Friday. At the last minute, we don’t necessarily have the energy to improvise an outing after work. The ideal is therefore to reserve an evening, every week or every two weeks, for a movie and / or a romantic restaurant. Just to find each other a little far from the cries of children and the daily routine.
Je (he) shares the tasks. Doesn’t he like ironing? OK. But then he learns to run a machine and manages the chore of dishes on his own. We share the household chores, but also the bath for the little ones and the preparation of homemade purees. In short, we share everything, obviously taking into account everyone’s preferences and dispositions.
I buy lesson n ° 6 from Aubade. Summer has rekindled your senses, but back to work = getting back into the routine, including sex. Without reciting the Kama-Sutra, do not ignore the hugging sessions.
I look at him like the first day. He doesn’t know how to drive a nail in, so what? Since he makes pasta a la napolitana like no one else! Remember all those little things you loved about him when you first met him, and find the eyes of love again. And when something goes wrong, let it know how you feel before things go wrong.
For my family
It’s a range. The birth bodysuits for your little one who is entering kindergarten, just to decorate, there in the closet, will find their place in the attic. And while tidying up the wardrobes, why not sort out the toys, give the bedroom walls a facelift and change your curtains? So that the whole family attacks this New Year with a clear mind.
I play for an hour at night with my children. A pile of laundry or fingerprints on the tiles, it is ultimately not the end of the world … And you will not have all your life to play market with your little ones.
I assume the fact of working. You spend more time with your colleagues than with your children, the math is quick. But stop complaining, and when you’re with your kids, enjoy it 100%.
I have demands and I stick to them. Put off until tomorrow, okay, but give in on the ground rules, no way! Back to school is the right time to explain to all the members of the tribe what is expected of them for a peaceful year: “we” tidy up our room regularly, “we” do not let our clothes spoil. football at the bottom of the bag, and “we” talk to each other, calmly, when something is wrong.
