How are we surviving the Arizona heat!?

It is so hard to have to stay inside with a toddler…

But here’s one tip! GET INVOLVED!

-public library free classes!

-local museum classes. This was a music class at the children’s museum in Phoenix

-walking groups on instagram (at indoor malls)

I know it’s easier some times to stay at home but for your mental health get out of the damn house. You’ll thank yourself💕

Children’s Museum of Phoenix

... Read moreArizona summers can be extremely challenging, especially for families with young children. With temperatures soaring, it’s essential to seek out engaging activities that keep little ones entertained while staying cool. Participating in free programs at public libraries not only stimulates children's minds but also promotes social interaction. Local museums frequently offer classes tailored for toddlers, making learning fun in a controlled environment. In addition to structured classes, consider joining walking groups in air-conditioned indoor malls. These groups provide an excellent opportunity for moms to connect, share experiences, and support each other during the hot months. Such social interactions are vital for mental health and can prevent the isolation many parents feel while trying to manage young children in the heat. Don’t let the high temperatures keep you indoors—exploring community offerings can bring a refreshing change to your routine and enrich both you and your toddler's experiences in Arizona.

Surviving Narcissist...
I recommend this book. It gives you insight into how narcissists are created and the types of narcissism there are. It gives you tools to power through and find your voice with narcissistic people. #knowledge #narcissist #book #livingwithanarcissist #embracevulnerability #thirdeditio
