Advice for the working mom
From a Working Mom
No one can tell me being a mom isn’t hard. Add in marriage, a career and your kiddos extra curricular activities and all of a sudden you’re a master juggler.
I too find myself running off of caffeine, 6 hours of sleep and trying to play catch up. If this sounds familiar then this blog is made for you.

7 Best Time Saving Hacks
Time is one of those things that waits for no one. If you’re anything like me, you’re always playing catch up which is why I am giving you the top 7 best time saving hacks for the working mom.
1. Establish a Routine
Having a routine helps keep you on track, limits procrastination, reduces stress and contributes to better mental health.
2. Time Block
Time blocking allows you to concentrate on one task at a time, ensuring you go from one task to another quickly and efficiently. That means you are not procrastinating and using your time wisely. What I love about time blocking is that the Yerkes-Dodson Law, also known as the “Inverted-U”, is being used. The best way to explain this psychology phenomenon is that with the optimum level of positive pressure, your best performance will be optimal.
3. Online Shopping
Let’s be real, unless you have great will power, you are walking out of Target with more than what you had on your shopping list. This is one of the reasons why shopping online for groceries is beneficial. It allows you to save time, money, stick to your list, and is super convenient and less stressful.
4. Meal Prep
Meal prep is one of those things that takes dedication but once you get started, it’s game over. Meal prep helps reduce food waste, saves money, is less stressful and great for weight loss.
5. Divide Chores
Chores are great to help foster team building within the family, teaches children responsibility, discipline, and basic life skills. Creating a clutter free environment, regularly cleaning, and completing household chores leads to less stress and better mental health. According to Psychology Today, chores are linked to lowered risk of dementia by 21%.
6. Take Advantage of Wait Times
We’ve all been there, waiting in the school pick up line for our kids to get out of school and suddenly you find yourself scrolling social media. Take advantage of the wait times and make your appointments, update your calendar, create your meal plan, clean your car and my favorite, read a good book.
7. Don’t Over Schedule
You’ve said it before, “I’m so busy”, or “I don’t have time for…”, and your favorite, “I’m so tired!” What’s crazy is that you’re in control of your schedule. You know, as a working mom your time is limited. Learn to use time blocking in your planner to account for your time, do not say yes immediately, prioritize, and learn to say no.

self-care on a budget
To Keep Your Sanity
The first thing that always comes to mind when one thinks of self-care is a spa day filled with a facial and massage. Oohh lala. Except fancy spa days can cost plenty of money and not to mention trying to find the time to enjoy it.
Here are the 9 go-to budget friendly self-care ideas for the working mom that will help you manage your daily stressors.
1. Exercise
Exercising has many psychological benefits to include a positive boost in mood. Ever start a workout early in the morning super groggy but once you’re done you feel happy, positive and ready to start your day. That’s because endorphins (aka happy hormones) are chemicals that your brain releases during exercise which reduce stress, boost self-esteem, increases energy levels and improves sleep.
2. Adult Coloring Books
You don’t have to be a kid to start coloring. As a matter of fact, you may enjoy it. There has been some findings that coloring helps the brain, primarily the amygdala to focus, alleviates stress, relaxes your mind and brings your anxiety levels down.
3. Spa Day at Home
You don’t have to run to a luxurious spa to unwind, instead relax in the comfort of your own home and enjoy a DIY spa day. A few things to start with consists of an aromatherapy candle, spa music, hydrating hair mask, face mask, lip scrub, dry-brushing and a nice hot tea to end the experience. Spa days at home helps with maintaining good skin, rejuvenates, eases stress, and releases serotonin for a better night sleep.
