The colder months are officially upon us and after surviving the unique twists and turns of 2020, many moms are not looking forward to what this winter may entail.
Instead of looking at the upcoming months through a negative lens, try getting ahead of the game by creating a positive plan.
Many mothers look at 2020 and see negatives: work struggles, school struggles, financial struggles, schedule struggles, socialization struggles. The list for every family is different and could go on and on.
As unbelievable as it may seem, struggles can actually be twisted into something to be thankful for. It isn’t always easy to do when you’re a mentally, physically, and emotionally drained mother. However, below are three examples of how to find gratitude during this difficult pandemic.
If you’re social media savvy, you have probably seen all of the popular posts involving painter’s tape. Whether it’s just some crazy trend or a way to keep busy during quarantine – Moms don’t care as long as it maintains sanity and keeps their kiddos creative.
Below are some creative projects moms have been doing during this time cooped up around the house. Get ready for your windows, fences, and driveway to be colorful and bright this summer.
This is new territory for all of us. We have never been through a global pandemic before so it is not like we can turn to Grandma and ask “How did you cope?”. We are all learning as we go. We are figuring it out, and creating our new (temporary) normal in our homes. First of all, I want to say that I am grateful that my family is safe and under one roof. We are thankful for all the essential workers that are still providing for us in the economy.
Whether you’re figuring out homeschool curriculum or trying to entertain your little one in creative ways, one thing is for sure – it isn’t easy. It’s hard work playing the role of mother, teacher, and friend. What can be even harder is stepping into the role of teacher if you don’t fully understand what you’re doing or know what new ideas to plan for next.
Luckily, there are some clever mamas out there who have thought up some ideas for you. Instead of searching Pinterest, emailing your little one’s teacher, or turning on Frozen 2 for the seventh time that week, try some of the educational activities below. These are little projects you can easily make from items you have at home and will keep your kid’s brain moving so you can sip your coffee sanely.
At this point, parents all over the place may be losing some of the creative energy they had when this quarantine started… as well as losing some of their sanity.
Well, we are here to help!
