All night warriors and involuntary members of the "Who Needs Sleep Anyway?" squad! Gather around because today we're diving into something more elusive than a peaceful weekend morning: good ol' sleep - or the total lack of it. We've all been there, right? Playing superhero parents on what feels like a whopping three hours of zzz's. Spoiler alert: despite what your triple-shot espresso tells you, running on empty doesn't make you a parenting champ. It's more like trying to bake a cake with salt instead of sugar. Trust me, it's not the same.
Hey there, fabulous parent! Ready to jump into something super fun? Let's chat about the color of your kiddo's toys. Yeah, yeah, we all love those chic neutrals in the nursery – so sleek, so never out of place. But come on, when did playing it super safe lead to an epic adventure?
You’re a supermom; yes, you! So, let’s have a heart-to-heart about our uninvited guest, “mom guilt.” You know, that nagging feeling that just loves to pop up when you’re trying to be the best mom you can be. It’s like that one song from a kid’s show that you can’t get out of your head. And just when you think you’ve got things under control, there it is, tapping you on the shoulder.
Everyone goes through a certain amount of stress in their lives. Thankfully, this isn’t constant, but that means there will be a few times that are more stressful than others. While you wouldn’t want to deal with this, you’ll still have to get through them.
The easiest way to do that is to be prepared for them. Knowing what the most stressful parts of a person’s life helps with that. Once you know a bit about them, you’ll know how you can get through them. That alone helps with a lot of the stress. It’s worth looking at three of the more notable of these so you can properly deal with them when you go through them. If there’s something that all moms can agree on it’s that they’re always busy. There’s never any time to stop and breathe when you’ve got kids to care for and so much to cram into your day. Keeping up the constant juggle of childcare, work, chores, and life generally is seriously tough. It certainly becomes really apparent very quickly when you’re a mom that you have no time for anything. This can really take its toll on your appearance.
Maybe you were once a regular at the salon and manicures, pedicures, and facials were a part of your monthly schedule. Even women that have always had a low maintenance beauty routine often find that there’s now no time for any kind of maintenance at all. Looking good every day is not the most important thing in the world. But when you feel good about your appearance it can really help boost your confidence. Confidence in your appearance can make you feel ready to tackle life’s challenges. So, despite feeling superficial, taking care of your looks really does matter. Many of the most influential and respected people throughout history were those who weren’t fazed by anything. These special individuals had the ability to step back from the immediacy of their emotions and calmly appraise situations, no matter what sort of chaos was going on around them.
But what was it that made them this way? After all, they were human, too. That’s the topic of this post. We explore how to become one of those chilled-out people who don’t let life get to them. It’s all part of the art of self-improvement. Neurodivergent children often possess a plethora of incredible personality traits. And you wouldn’t change them for the world. Nonetheless, parenting kids with autism or related conditions does present unique challenges. Moreover, it’s almost certain that there will be moments where you feel lost and alone.
