Manage Your Time with Kids
As a mother, managing time can seem like an impossible task. With little ones constantly demanding our attention, it may seem like the days blend together and time slips away. 
However, I have found that with a few simple adjustments, managing time can become much easier.


First and foremost, it’s important to create a schedule. This may seem daunting, but trust me, it’s worth it. Plan out your entire day, from waking up in the morning to getting the little ones to bed at night. Allocate specific times for meal times, nap times, and play times. By doing this, you’ll find yourself with pockets of time throughout the day where you can get things done.

Now, let’s talk about those pockets of time. As mothers, we’ve all heard the phrase “sleep when the baby sleeps.” 

While this is great advice, it’s not always feasible. Instead, use those precious moments to tackle something on your to-do list. Whether it’s folding laundry, washing dishes, or responding to emails, use that time wisely. You’d be surprised how much you can accomplish in just a few minutes.


Another helpful tip is to involve your children in your tasks. Give them a small task to complete, such as putting away their toys or helping to set the table. This not only helps you get things done, but it also teaches your children responsibility and independence.


Of course, there will be moments when everything seems to fall apart. You may have a sick child, a last-minute appointment, or simply a day where nothing seems to go right. In these moments, it’s important to remember that it’s okay to take a break. Give yourself permission to take a step back, breathe, and regroup.


As mothers, we often put ourselves last on the list of priorities. However, it’s important to remember that taking care of ourselves is just as important as taking care of our children. Make time for yourself each day, even if it’s just a few minutes to read a book or take a hot bath.


In the end, managing time with children is all about finding a balance. It’s important to have a schedule and be productive, but it’s also important to be present with our children and create meaningful moments. 


So, embrace the chaos, relish the touching moments, and remember to find humor in the craziness that is motherhood.

Meet Heather Martin

 
For years, I didn't feel like myself.

Even as I was putting a smile on everyday, I still felt like a helpless mother. It was really hard on me emotionally and had started to affect the rest of my family.

After having undiagnosed postpartum depression three times in three years-- I decided my fourth was going to be different. My research and what I had been through, helped immensely. I decided to start using some products from a company I know and trust while incorporating other things into my life. 

The fourth trimester after my fourth baby was completely different. The first three pregnancies (fourth trimester) was very difficult--being fake, pretending to be happy, smiling, and laughing like I was okay. 

Now, I am vibrant. I'm on a mission to help a lot of people break free and empower themselves with the knowledge and resources that I have learned during those years.
