When it comes to motherhood, most women don’t know where to start. Sure, we all want to be a good parent and yes, you should always keep a clean home. But what about the rest of life? Tips and advice on how to be better parents, tips on how to handle your pregnancy and being a mom are what I live by when I look back at my life.
If you're new to parenting, it can be overwhelming.
You may have just had a baby, you may have been pregnant for years and now you have a child that needs your attention every day. Or maybe you've been a parent for years and the last thing on your mind is taking care of yourself.
Whatever the case, I know how hard it can be to find time to rest, recharge and take care of yourself when you're in charge of so many other things.
Here are some tips that I've learned from my experience as a mom of a toddler and newborn:
1. Spend time with your friends. Being a mom is a lot of work and it's important to take care of yourself.
2. Being in a relationship is important too, so make sure you carve out enough time to spend with each other.
3. It can be really helpful to find a support group for parents where you live or online.
4. Find little ways to pamper yourself- it can be something as small as getting a manicure or taking a bubble bath at the end of the day.
5 . Don’t forget your partner in all of this! They do a lot to keep your family running smoothly, so let them know how much you appreciate them!
6. Stay up to date on your child’s development milestones by checking websites like this one that are designed specifically for parents!
Takeaway: Parenting is hard work but you don't have to do it alone!
