“BUSY” DITL

Normally our days are much slower and relaxed but it was our last day of VBS!

Maybe one of these days I’ll be brave enough to record and not just do pictures 😅🫣

... Read moreAs a stay-at-home mom (SAHM), days can often be a whirlwind of activities, especially with events like Vacation Bible School (VBS) wrapping up. This particular day was filled with baking Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins for breakfast, busying myself with tasks from cleaning the litter box to preparing grocery lists. Each moment is precious as I balance the dynamics of motherhood—the noise of children playing, the responsibilities awaiting my attention, and finding tiny little moments to savor. The routine starts early, with the kids rising for a day packed with fun. The beauty of these days often lies in their spontaneity. After a playful morning, I prepared for VBS, ensuring everyone was ready for a day of learning and friendship. As a parent, ensuring their quality experiences is a joy and responsibility I embrace wholeheartedly. Post-VBS, the day didn't slow down. I managed quiet time, a sacred moment for both the kids and myself, while also keeping track of household chores. The list of tasks doesn’t end, from scanning receipts to scheduling meals, each one plays a part in running a busy household. The day often wraps up with a family dinner, a fulfilling end point to a well-spent day. Sometimes, I wish I could capture these fleeting moments on video, not just through pictures. Each day is unrepeatable, offering a tapestry of experiences to reflect upon. While the hustle of being a SAHM can be overwhelming at times, the rewards of watching my children grow and thrive outweigh the challenges. If you’re a fellow SAHM, I encourage you to document these days, whether through video, journaling, or sharing in communities. The moments are what we cherish and what make this journey worthwhile.

Learn even if you are busy
Language learning is objectively a task that requires time and effort – and some just have less time than others throughout their busy schedule. However, if you are on the go almost every day of the week but you still want to commit to learning a new language, that is already impressive in itself!
