And sometimes…. It’s not pure chaos #sahm #momsover30 #momsoftiktok

4 days agoEdited to

As a stay-at-home mom, finding pockets of calm in the midst of a busy schedule can feel like a rare treasure. One strategy that has truly helped me is synchronizing nap times for the kids. When everyone naps at the same time, it allows for a break from constant supervision and a chance to catch up on household tasks or simply enjoy a moment of rest. Maintaining a clean house doesn’t have to be overwhelming either. Breaking chores into manageable chunks throughout the day helps keep things under control without adding stress. For example, focusing on high-traffic areas when the kids are active and tidying up during nap time can make a significant difference. Using techniques like UV light sanitization can further enhance household cleanliness, creating a healthier environment for the family. It's a small investment in time and effort that pays off in reducing germs and maintaining peace of mind. Overall, embracing these small routines can transform the experience from pure chaos to moments of peace and accomplishment. It’s important for moms to find what works best for their unique situation and to celebrate the calm within the storm.

The image displays Korean grammar notes on the verb '되다'. It covers '되다' meaning 'to become' with examples, its use for guessing with future tense, with '아니다', and its function in forming passive verbs, noting that passive verbs cannot act on objects.

Learning Korean Makes Me Want To Cry Sometimes...

Cuz tell me why 되다 is for passive voice, but also for more than that? The pictures are only some of my notes on the topic. I've filled up two Goodnotes pages on this already and there's still more. Please, I just want to understand 😭 #lemon8diarychallenge #learningalanguage #lea

Sometimes you just walk away from it all

So, as you can see Everything was left open from the night before lol. Sometimes, I just walk away. It’s not always bad, sometimes it’s me finally getting my code to work(“Thank God, Finally. I’m out”) and sometimes it’s me being fed up that it’s not working (“This is a total Joke!! I’m done!) lol.
