I’m sharing #Luvs in my life as part of a LUVs sponsored series for Socialstars™
A Labor of Love
It’s safe to say that being a mom is challenging. Besides the outrageously monumental undertaking of raising another human being, the sheer amount of work that goes along with the job can take quite a toll. Of course it’s a labor of love to be a mom but it’s also OK to admit that sometimes the daily grind can be overwhelming.
I am sure you know the daily grind to which I am referring to. The morning rush, the afternoon droll and the evening witching hour rings a bell amiright? As mom’s (and dad’s too!) we get a front seat to the intricate albeit crazy balance of life’s daily to-do list. However, while in the midst of the daily grind being able to relish in the small moments that matter makes the whole thing worth it.
Relish the Everyday
Before I had children I had my nose mostly in school books. Studying for bachelor degree took up the majority of my time. The apartment my husband and I lived in was always relatively clean, my clothes were always organized and we had plenty of free time to do what we liked (that sounds dreamy right about now). Now that we have four young children ages 9, 5, 4, and 2 years old I have learned a thing or two along the way to relish in the everyday moments – the moments that matter to get through the daily mom grind. These mom life hacks help maximize my sanity and give me the opportunity to find joy with my little ones.

The Funny Mom Blog’s Daily Grind Mom Life Hacks (to find more time for joy):
Stay Organized
That’s a big “LOL”, I know. But trust me when I say that making organization a top priority reallllllly helps with the daily mom grind. When everything has a place there’s less of a mess and that improves work flow.
Create Small Routines
I created an after school drop off routine that each of the school kids know by heart. They must take of their sand-filled shoes outside, hang their backpacks up on the rack and put their lunch boxes on the counter before changing out of their uniforms. These simple steps reduce chaos immediately after school.
Everyone helps
Just because I am a stay-at-home-mom doesn’t mean I should carry the brunt of the household chores. In this house, everyone helps. I have assigned chores to each of the children and they are required to carry them out.
Funny Mom Tip: Choose chores that interest each child. For example, my oldest loves to be outdoors so one of his chores is the water the trees!
Everyone helps!
