Positive Habits For A Stay-At-Home Mom (SAHM)

April 19, 2024

by Mary Dickson with No Comment Lifestyle Motherhood/Motherhood/Parenting

A stay-at-home mom is typically a woman or a mom who stays at home to cater to her children while the other partner goes out to work.

A stay-at-home mom (SAHM) is also known as a “housewife” and makes sure the house is in order.

As a housewife, you have to make sure the house is well taken care of, the children are well fed and attended to, and the home is in an orderly position.

Many at times, most women do not want to become “stay-at-home moms.” Instead, they prefer to have something to do professionally to be able to support their partners with the bills and provide for the family.

Most moms become stay-at-home moms because their partners may not want them to be both mothers and workers. They prefer that their women stay at home while they go out to work and provide for their families.

Some come in the form of an agreement between both partners, and others come as a result of the preference of the other partner. Or solely a decision by the women.

In most cases, SAHM becomes so depressed and frustrated having to do just home things all the time. Which is to take care of the home and make sure children are well attended to.

Sometimes, it is a fun thing to do and other times, it becomes hectic, draining, and, of course, “boring.”

The reality of life is that when life hits you with children who need more time and attention, then the option of being a SAHM is the best decision to make.

10 Positive Habits For a Stay-at-Home Mom

Let me take you through this process that will help you become a happy stay-at-home mom with less stress which will let you enjoy every moment of it.

1. Late to bed, Early to rise

As a stay-at-home mom, one habit you need to adapt to is the habit of going to bed early and making sure you get up early the next morning, even before your kids wake up.

Yes! I said late to bed because, as a mom, you need to make sure everything is in good shape and order before you go to bed.

Such as checking if the doors are well locked, if your kids are fast asleep and not having too much screen time, if kids are going to bed early, if the kitchen is in good order, and everything else that needs to be checked.

I also said to wake up early before you’re kids because, as a mom, you need to be well prepared before your kids wake up. You must ensure that their breakfast is prepared on time, that they are dressed appropriately for school, and that they arrive on time.

Waking up early helps you get everything done as fast as possible to prevent lateness and running from here to there trying to put your kids in their preparation for school or any other activities.

2. Have shared chores among your kids

Every child will gradually grow and become an adult someday. That’s why, as a SAHM, you need to share the chores with your children to ease your burden.

This is because, as the kids grow, responsibilities become larger, and you can’t take it all upon yourself.

A shared responsibility with your children will help ease your burden and make you feel less stressed. It also gives you more time to have some time to yourself.

That being said, when you have younger kids, try involving them in any activity you do. As they grow, they become used to whatever responsibility or chores you have them do.

They tend to do it and do it well. They understand that helping mom is the responsibility of every child, which makes them happy whenever they’re helping you do any chores at home.

Like the washing of dishes, doing the laundry, buying groceries, and washing the cars.

3. Make some new friends

You know that staying at home and not moving becomes so boring sometimes. Doing and having one activity done for a very long time also becomes boring.

That’s why, as a SAHM, you need to have time for yourself by making new friends and spending quality time with them.

With this, you learn new things and have some good chats and laughter with them. They also try to help you and give you advice on how to become a wonderful and caring mother.

Make sure you make good friends who can advise or teach you what to do as a mom. Share some ideas. Have some fun and visit a lot of places for a beautiful memory.

This makes you a happy mom without even thinking twice about how boring your life is as a stay-at-home mom.

4. Learn a new skill( DIY)

Developing yourself every now and then as a mom is a very important thing to do especially being SAHM. It is very important because it helps you release some stress and have new knowledge about something new.

Learning a new skill can involve your kids. Make sure you involve your kids when learning the skill. Sometimes, you may want to have alone time to yourself and develop yourself. That is a good thing to do but involving your children also helps them become so familiar and acquitted to you as their mom.

They learn to associate and relate more to you. Children are very observant and as you involve them in your skill learning, they also become used to it and want to learn some more.

5. Have some alone time to yourself

Meditations lift our spirits and make us strong and healthy. It makes us have and develop new plans and strategies about what to do as a mom.

More often, after you finish with your daily activities at home, make sure you have a lone time to yourself and reflect on what to do next. Have some rest, watch TV, listen to some music, read some books, and visit the saloon for your pedicure and medicure.

You need that as a mom too. A time for your kids and a time for yourself is very important. Make sure to always look presentable and attractive to your partner.

The fact that you’re a stay-at-home mom doesn’t mean you should be lackadaisical and mentally unstable. You need some time to yourself. It is very important.

6. Have some time with your partner

Funny enough, most stay-at-home moms get so used to their kids without having some time for their partners. They become so addicted to their kids forgetting about their partners.

This is not a healthy practice. Give what belongs to Ceazar to Ceazar and give what belongs to God to God. That means spending some with your partner as much as you spend with your kids.

Your partner is equally important as your kids. A SAHM is also required to give her time to her partner to lighten their relationship. To build a healthy and strong family.

Notwithstanding, a mom who doesn’t give much attention to her partner ends up losing him while giving all the attention to her kids.

7. Have patient.

It is a very hectic thing to be a stay-at-home. It is very depressing and overwhelming sometimes. It is time-draining, and all this requires some patience.

As a mom, one element that needs to be focused on is to be patient in all your dealings. Both with your partner and kids.

It takes a lot of effort, time, and strength to build a healthy and happy home.

Being a stay-at-home mom can sometimes be frustrating and you might end up wanting to give up. Patience is a major key and without it, you’ll always lose yourself, and end up having mental health issues.

It takes time and much effort to make it work. It is a gradual process to make it happen. And when you’re finally through it becomes a glorious Hong to behold. So, have some patience and everything will be fine.

8. No comparison

In other to be a strong SAHM, make sure you never compare yourself to other moms whom you think their doing so well than you are.

Mind you, you’re all not equal and truth be told, you’re doing a very wonderful work. You’re in the right truck and you’re going to be so okay on your own.

Comparing yourself to other moms makes you rather see yourself as not doing so well and also not putting much effort in whatever you’re doing. It drains you mentally seeing yourself less and worthless.

You might end up wanting to give up your motherly duties. Just be focused on what you’re doing.

Why compare yourself to others when you know you’re doing so well? Look at whatever you’re doing. You’re a supermom to your kids and they love you just the way you’re. Keep doing what you’re doing. You’re on the right track and stop comparing yourself to others.

9. Ask for assistance

You can never do this Stay-at-home mom alone. Sometimes, all you need is a little push and everything will be fine.

Don’t be shy to ask for help when you need it. Asking for help simply means, you’re human and you need someone to assist you in whatever you’re doing.

Ask for help from anyone you think is in the right position to offer it. It could be from your partner, relatives, friends, and even your kids.

Almost all humans need a helping hand to help them complete a task or to be pushed. Don’t think asking for help as a SAHM makes you any week, lazy, or not hard working. You need it, so ask for it.

10. Teach your children how to be independent

You can not do it all alone, you need to help your children help themselves at all times. Especially when you’re not around them.

You’re supposed to teach your children how to be independent and work on their own.

Teach them to do the dishes after eating, teach them to lay their bed when they wake up in the morning, and teach them to say sorry and thank you. Teach your kids to be able to do the laundry on their own. Let them know how to do their homework independently.

Don’t try to do everything alone by yourself by piling all these responsibilities on yourself. As you teach them, it helps you lift some of the burdens off your shoulders and have some limits to attending to them. While at this, make sure you keep an eye on them to do the right thing at the right time.

Conclusion

I just want to see happy and healthy moms who can look after their kids with love and cheerful faces, not a mom who wants to give up just because they’re Stay-at-home moms (SAHM).

I know it’s not easy but trying these habits and making sure you follow them will help you become a happy stay-at-home mom her writings.

10 Time-Saving Hacks For Busy Moms.

April 12, 2024

by Mary Dickson with No Comment Health Lifestyle Motherhood/Motherhood/Parenting Uncategorised

Are you a mom struggling to save time from your busy schedule? Ha! I can feel your pain and how you manage to get things done with all that you plan to do and don’t get done easily.

Sometimes, as a mother, you have many activities to do during the day, week, or months that don’t get done.

You find yourself at a loss and you repeat the same thing over and over. You gradually end up not getting things done.

This is when frustration sets in and you pile up activities, leaving them unattended.

I think I know what will help you get your activities done on time and at the right time. At the end of the day, you’ll end up being a happy and successful mom. Saving a lot of time and also become less busy to have enough rest.

Here are 10 time-saving hacks that can help you as a busy mother.

1. Employ a nanny/babysitter:

Babysitters or nannies are better options for a busy mother. They help you release some of the burdens from you. Yes, it is true there are stories of bad babysitters or nannies, but mind you some of them are extremely good and well-behaved. They could also be your parents, siblings, and trusted friends or relatives.

They can help you cater to your children while you attend to whatever you’re supposed to do. They can also help you clean your home, help you cook, and also run errands for you.

Not necessarily to be in the house or stay with you forever, but they can stay for a short period while you attend to your activities. It helps save time, energy and makes you less busy.

2. Make a schedule list:

It is advisable that, as a busy mom, you make lists of your daily activities. Make sure you jot down whatever plan you have and follow it sequentially.

Having a scheduled list helps you know what to do on a particular day and time. It helps you keep your activities at a steady pace and makes you work smart, efficiently, and focused. It also saves time and energy.

When you make the list too, it reminds you of what to do at a particular time. You know, as a mom, it’s very easy to be forgetful. This is very time-draining. As you follow your activities on your scheduled list, you become less busy and have more time to do other things.

3. Set a goal:

What goal do you want to achieve in a day, and how do you intend achieving it? What is the purpose of this goal?

Setting a goal for your daily activities makes it easier. It helps you have a daily task to achieve with a purpose. Goal setting is also advisable for working mothers who do not know what to do at a particular time.

Aside, from making your schedule, have a goal in mind and make a conscious effort to achieve it. Doing that makes you focused and prevents you from wondering about other activities because you have a target to meet.

This goal can be set for just a day, weeks, or even months.

4. Work smart, not hard:

Working smart is different from working hard. Having equipment or accessories for work makes you work very smart.

For instance, instead of washing with your hands, you can use the washing machine. Instead of using the squeezer for your juice, you can use the juicer. And it goes on and on.

Ignoring all this equipment or machinery to do otherwise is time-draining and makes you “unnecessarily” busy.

It takes your time from doing other important things, hence spending the day without achieving any goal.

You can also involve your kids in your daily activities. Such as cleaning, helping to cook, washing, and doing other stuff as you also focus on others.

Know that preventing your children from helping you do the chores doesn’t guarantee a hardworking mother. It drains you and leaves you in an unhealthy state.

5. Use delivery services often:

Delivery services are available to make the purchase of items easy. It helps to save time for other activities. Buying items online and having them delivered to you is such a relief.

Making your item purchase online also helps you become less busy. Taking almost 45 minutes or an hour for shopping can be reduced when you do your shopping online and have it delivered to you.

A busy mom who doesn’t want to use the delivery service can have someone do the shopping for her. Like a relative, a friend, a working colleague, or even her husband can help.

6. Have a meal plan:

Knowing what to cook for the family helps a lot. Have a meal plan for each day of the week and ensure you follow it in order.

Ever had one of those days when you’re too tired to cook something for the family? And you go to the fridge and finally find something to put on the table? Yes, I believe that day was a happy one for you because you finally found what to eat.

Cooking in batches and preserving them in the fridge is also advisable for busy moms. When you know you’re going to be so busy during the week, just find a day and prepare a batch of food.

This is a life and time saver. It sustains you during the days that you don’t have the strength to do your cooking.

7. Plan ahead for family events:

Having a family event coming up and you’re not sure whether to be able to attend or not? Well, I suppose it’s advisable to have a plan ahead before the event.

Have a plan for this event and make all the preparations toward it. Such as preparing the outfits to wear on that day, booking an appointment for a beauty treat, what surprises/gifts you want to take to the event, and the departure and arrival times to the event.

Doing so makes things easier for you when the time for the event is near. You get refreshed, and look good and presentable at the event.

Keeping yourself busy during the day of the event will only make you look unkept and less presentable. It also makes you look tired.

8. Create a family calendar

The calendar is there for reminders and promptings of what to do. It helps us with dates of events and activities.

Creating a family calendar will help you as a busy mom by keeping track of what to do at every given point. Create events using Google Calendar; it allows you to specify the time and days the event or activities will take place.

This also improves your ability to work accordingly. It reminds you of what time of the month is. And what activities do you have to do for the family? Anniversaries, birthdays, vacations, outings, fun games and chores.

Google Calendar sets a reminder for all these events. And trust me, it is one of the best places to keep your family calendar.

9. Limit your screen time

Have you ever had the time to sit by the TV, phone, laptop, and video games for hours without having anything done throughout the day?

Screen time is a time drainer, it takes your time and makes you busy later. It prevents you from doing what you have to do at a particular time.

Close 4–5 moms sit and watch series and soap operas without completing their tasks for the day. It is very draining to have your phone on all day without being productive.

Have limitations on your screen time when there’s a task or an activity to attend to. Switch off all screens, TVs, phones, laptops, and video games to focus on whatever you have to do.

It also helps you to go to sleep early and wake up early for your daily morning chores. Limiting screen time and getting good sleep makes you healthy and strong.

10. Sleeping on time at night.

Everyone has 8–9 hours of bedtime, and it is good for the body to rest and have some strength for the following day.

Sleeping early helps moms gain more strength to be able to attend to their daily chores the following day.

Every mom is not supposed to burden or overwork herself. It’s okay to not finish your work on the same day. It’s okay to feel tired at times, and it’s okay to want to go to sleep early and get some rest.

Being overly busy does not make you a “superhero,” but rather depletes your energy and prevents you from getting some rest.

Sleep early, get some rest, and gain some strength for what lies ahead of you the following day. You need it because you’re also a human mom.

Conclusions

All moms are special and doing well in their own way. However, every mother requires some self-care time in order to appear strong and healthy for their family and home. Don’t overwork yourself and end up losing yourself as a mom.

I guess these 10 hacks will help you, as a mom, to save some time for yourself and not be too busy. The bottom line is, at the end of the day, just make sure you complet at least one or two task. That’s the most important thing to do.

Work smart, not hard. Work efficiently and not tediously. All the best, and have a wonderful Momful Day!

A Successful Single Mother

April 8, 2024

by Mary Dickson with No Comment Lifestyle Motherhood/

A single mother is a superwoman who single-handedly raises and takes care of her children. She is a woman who fulfills the roles and responsibilities of both a mother and a father figure in the lives of her children.

Single mother comes as a result of the death of a spouse, denial of pregnancy, divorce, co-parenting, and any other factor that may contribute to this situation.

Being a single mother comes with so many responsibilities. This leads to frustration, depression, and overthinking.

As we all know, taking care of children is a big responsibility that requires time, energy, strength, and understanding to be able to be a good mother to your children.

As the children grow into adolescents, they begin to exhibit behaviors that require the intervention of a father figure. But in their absence, a single mother steps in to take on that role.

They make sure they train the children to be upright and responsible adults in society as they grow up.

It is very true that most single mothers lose themselves as a result of that. Dedicating their lives and time to make sure that their children are well attended to.

There are many ways to be a successful single mother and still take care of your children. So that you can take care of yourself while still being there for your children.

10 ways To Become A Successful Single Mother.

Here are some steps to help you become a “successful single mother,” which will make your children proud of you and also see you as a supermom.

1. Have a plan for your daily activities:

Having a plan or schedule for your daily activities is very important to keep you on your feet. It helps you know your next step and also helps you utilize your day successfully.

It keeps you busy and directs you to do the right thing at the right time. Many single mothers do not know or have any planned activities, and this makes them overwork their day without achieving any goal within the day.

2. Follow your schedules sequentially:

After having your day scheduled with all the activities you have within the day, make sure you follow them step-by-step.

Know what to do and do it well. Know how to start and start well, and make sure at the end of the day, you achieve at least half of the activities scheduled before you go to bed.

This helps you yield positive and successful work done without any stress.

3. Having something doing (a profession):

Being a single mother doesn’t guarantee idleness. It comes with a whole lot of responsibilities, energy, and resources. As a single mother, you must find practical work that keeps you on your toes. A handy work that makes you want to do more for your children.

You need to think of your needs, your children’s, and how to attain them. Having handy work doesn’t necessarily mean you should get a “well-to-do job,” but rather, you need to get a source of income.

An income that can at least put food on your table, clothe you and your children, and also give you a happy life and home. You can have an online store, be a makeup artist, fashion designer, caterer, food vendor, or open a mini-restaurant, just to mention a few.

This prevents you from being a “liability” to many, and it also allocates respect and honor to your name.

4. Don’t be too extravagant:

There are “needs,” and there are “wants.” Needs are the necessities we cannot do without, like clothes, education, shelter, food, and good health. While wants are the basic things we need to make life comfortable for us, like shoes, watches, cars, having fun, etc.

A single mother needs to know what she needs and wants to help her plan her expenses well. It helps you understand how and when to spend money on things that are not really necessary for survival.

It also encourages you to save more money for the future in order to be prepared for emergencies.

5. Let go of too many parties and outings:

Yes, it is very good to have fun sometimes. At least a little, have some fun, and make memories, but do not go overboard. Most single mothers do not care about their children, hence making them live a lavish life. Overspending and running out of cash.

They make “outing” their priorities forgoing their motherly responsibilities. They do not care how their children are fed or how well they look. Sometimes, they do this out of pain, regret, hate,, or out of their irresponsible lives as mothers.

Single mothers should understand that their children are their responsibilities, so they should give up some activities to spend more time with them.

They should rather set good examples for their children to follow, because a happy child is a healthy one.

6. Spend quality time with your children:

This helps your children become part of your world and also helps them become fond of you as a mother. Make sure you have a mother-child moment with them.

It could be watching TV together, taking a vacation, learning a new skill (DIY), playing games, or telling them stories.

As this keeps going, it becomes a tradition in the family and creates a strong bond between you and your children. This gives them the room to be open to you and discuss any situations they’re facing with you.

They turn to you for advice because you are their best and closest friend. You become their “ATM” mother (All The Time Mother).

7. Tell your children about their father:

Some children are very smart and may want to know anything and everything. These children are constantly on the lookout for new information and will not stop until they find the answers.

It is advisable that every child has the right to know who their father is. So if a child wants to know about their father, do them the honor by telling them without being secretive. Some children may want to know who their father is by all means. Being bold and strong enough to tell them the story pertaining to their father would either make them see how weak or strong you are as a single mother.

Children are very observant, and the more you hide things from them, the more they want to know why you’re hiding it from them. At least you owe them that, as a mother, to help them know their identity.

8. Don’t be an overly protective mother:

It is good to be there as a mother for your children. It is also good to protect them from the diversities of this world. A mother is like an eagle who protects and fights predators from harming her child.

A mother protects her children from harm and gives them strong shoulders to lean on when they are in pain or sorrow.

As the children grow, they begin to seek privacy from their parents, and do not want anyone to invade their space. Most of the time, they prefer to be left alone. This happens mostly in their adolescent stage. Children, as they grow up, want to take on some responsibilities by themselves.

They also want to make some decisions for themselves. Allow them this freedom while ensuring that you are available whenever they require assistance or advice.

Imposing or forcing them to do something they do not want to do causes misunderstandings between you and your children. Maybe you want to prevent them from repeating the same mistake as you did, or you might want them to be careful about certain decisions they make. But don’t be too imposing on them. They are maturing into adults and will eventually live independently.

Allow them to make their own decisions while you provide guidance, but do not use force.

9. Be their number one cheerleader:

Praise and acknowledge your children at all times. Don’t blame them for your failure or hate them for something they do not know about.

Whatever they do, recommend them and let them feel the motherly love from you. Being a single mother doesn’t mean you’re a failure, thereby venting your anger at your children for the slightest things they do.

Always make sure you motivate them and help them when the need arises in any tiny way you can. This makes you a fulfilled and successful single mother as you see them grow to become prominent and responsible adults in society.

They will never forget what a wonderful mother you were to them. And always show your appreciation in whatever they do.

10. Save for the future:

Hard times may come, and difficulties may set in as you raise your children alone. Saving for the future also helps you become a successful single mother.

It reduces your burden by ensuring that you have enough saved for unforeseen circumstances. Saving for the future makes you adequately prepared and ready for what lies ahead of you and your children. It eradicates shame and provides assistance for any emergencies. Saving is extremely important for a single mother because it allows you to provide for your children.

The smiles you put on their faces demonstrate how much they appreciate you and regard you as their supermom. This is due to your consistent ability to meet their needs. It is an honor to be able to care for your children on your own, to watch them grow and achieve their goals as they mature into adults.

Inspirational Quotes For Mothers

April 5, 2024

by Mary Dickson with No Comment Diaries Lifestyle Motherhood/Motherhood/Parenting

Mothers are strong women and do very well by taking care of their children and working at the same time.

It takes a wonderful woman to have the strength to be a mother, a friend, a wife, and a worker at the same time. Mothers are phenomenon women and need to be celebrated all the time.

They need to be encouraged, praised, and supported all the time. Without them, we cannot have a life.

Most mothers are attributed to the Proverbs 31 woman, and they’re best at everything they do. Mothers are magical, loving, caring, understanding, powerful, and above all, prayer warriors.

Sometimes, they lose themselves just to take care of their children. They go all out to make sure their children are well taken care of and attended to. They also make sure husbands at home feel pampered and loved.

They are the weakest people on earth yet the strongest when it comes to their home.

So they need to be motivated from time to time to let them know how marvelous they’re doing.

And if you’re a mother and you think you’re not doing well, or want to give up because you feel you’re not doing well enough for your home, then I believe you are at the right place at the right time.

Building a lasting Mother-Child Relationship

April 2, 2024

by Mary Dickson with No Comment Lifestyle Motherhood/Motherhood/Parenting

Imagine having a child or children who cannot come to share their pain and worries with you. They cannot even have a heart-to-heart conversation with you because they fear what you’re going to do to them or they fear you’re going to yell at them if they do. Due to the lack of a “mother-child relationship among you.

Most mothers do not have time for their children because they’re so focused on their businesses, thereby making them busy every now and then. They come home late, find their children asleep, and leave the house so early in the morning, not seeing them before going to work and leaving them for their nannies.

Most of them do not have time for their children to know what goes on during their days in school or what challenges they face in a subject. And they sometimes yell at them at the least chance they get.

Mothers need to make time for their children, no matter what the situation may be. They need to build a mother-child relationship with them. To build a bond that will let the children come to them whenever they need help or need some advice from them.

5 Benefits of Having a Mother-Child Relationship.

1. It helps the child confide in you for advice:

Building a mother-child relationship with your children helps them come to you for advice and any difficulties they’re facing as they grow up. It makes them rely on you for all the help they need when they’re in a particular situation that is beyond their control.

They confide in you because the kind of relationship they build with you gives them a relaxed environment around you, making you their number one friend. As adolescents, children need advice on how to carry themselves and how to react to certain situations, and a mother is the best person to explain these to her children.

2. You get to know their moves:

Building a mother-child relationship with your child or children helps you, as a mother, to know where they go and the kind of friends they keep. This is because they trust you to tell you everything concerning their lives. They look up to you as their protector and know you’ll direct them to the right places at the right time. The children also grow fond of you and tell you if they’re being bullied or not.

3. It helps you know their likes and dislikes:

As a mother, knowing the likes and dislikes of your child is one of the main things to look out for. It helps you relate with your child as they grow up. A mother who knows the likes and dislikes of her child or children is very careful because she knows what to and what not to indulge her child with.

For instance, a child growing up would love to explore a lot of things. Some may like sports, American football, arts, music, dance, etc. While some won’t even want to venture into those, as a mother, forcing your child to do something they don’t want to do is a very dangerous thing. It destroys the bond between you both because you might always disagree.

4. The child grows up to be healthy and happy:

Creating a friendly environment for your child helps them to have a peaceful mind to study, and nature on their talents. It also helps them to grow happily. Imagine an environment without yelling, quarreling, making curses, and fighting all the time. It breeds a serene environment, making the child act brave and happy.

They get focused on whatever they do at school and also at outdoor events. They don’t fear the fact that “Mum is a beast, and I don’t wanna see her.” The child would always want to see you around them because you entertain them with lots of things and show them lots of love.

This makes the mother also happy because, as the saying goes, “a happy child is her mother’s joy.”

5. It helps the children grow up to be good parents.

Charity, they say, begins at home but must not end there. Building a mother-child relationship with your children also helps them to be good parents when they grow up.

They intend to spread the same kind of love, attention, bond, support, and friendship you build with them, and tradition goes on and on. With all the support you show them, they learn from you and apply it when they also become parents in the near future.

They become responsible and caring parents because of the kind of upbringing you gave them. A child who looks up to her mother for everything is strong and healthy, and grows up to exhibit the same in society.

As a mother, you shouldn’t be too busy attending to your children because they need you the most. Always remember that your children are your priorities, and it’s because of them that you’re moving about making the money. So if you don’t build a wonderful relationship with them, then you end up chasing money and losing your child or children. Your children need you as much as you need the money.

Written by Mrs. Tracy Dede Kobla-Kumordzie (nee Asiedu-Dicker).

Hello lovely readers. A lot of people have approached me about a moderate way to keep our homes always fresh and have a great aura amidst having the kids at home especially during the Christmas holidays. If you want an inexpensive way to make you home smell amazing and festive, kindly sit back for some cool tips from Mummy Santa lol.

Tip 1: Clean up the laundry

We all know how dirty laundry can change the smell of a room, especially if it’s an enclosure. Thus, handwashing or using a washing machine goes a long way to freshen your space. It will be great to keep a laundry bag to keep them.

Tip 2. Tidy the refuse bins indoors.

Whether it’s the bin in the kitchen or in the washrooms or bedrooms it is good to take out the trash every day and put a new polythene bag in each bin.

It is advisable to clean them daily. However, for busy moms, keeping toilet blocks in the toilet water and using a toilet cleaner might just do the trick. Also scented t-rolls are also cool. For the bathrooms, cleaning can be done at least once a week. A nice, scented soaps and shower gels (E.g. Dove, Old Spice, Harmony, Ultra fresh, Irish spring, Caress, Bath and body works, etc.) and hand soaps are very helpful in maintaining a great scent in the bathroom and sinks.

Tip 3: Keep you fridge and Kitchen Clean.

Keeping your kitchen surfaces, stove, utensils, and appliances neat helps a lot. You may want to keep strong scented food covered in the fridge. A simple fridge refresher can also help to maintain a great smell.

Tip 4: Mop your floors often.

You can use a nicely scented floor cleaning liquid when mopping. You can create a lemon scented one by cutting lemons or squeezing lemon juice into water with a disinfectant.

Tip 5: Dust off Soft Surfaces like your sofas and carpets

Your fabric or leather couch could be a hot spot for debris and, so it needs to be vacuumed or wiped down. Once your sofa is clean and dry, you can use fabric sanitizing spray. Also, carpets can be aired occasionally but vacuumed often.

Tip 6: Use air fresheners, diffusers , reeds and powerfully smelling candles.

If possible, put freshly cut flowers in a vase like lavender plants or roses. This will be an added effect to your house /flat smelling good. For a Christmasy scent, put an apple, cinnamon, citrus fruits, cloves, ginger and let it simmer and could be a nice fruit punch too lol.

Final Tip: Practice Good Personal Care

Keeping good personal hygiene also goes a long way to making a difference in your home. Whether it is bathing twice, brushing and flossing, using deodorants, and body splashes or perfumes to mention a few, they all help to make your home smell amazing. Whatever body care works for you.

It is the most wonderful time of the year. May it be delightful and smell Christmasy in your home this year and the next.

Unveiling Your True Power: A Guide to Understanding and Embracing Your Self-Worth as a Woman

November 15, 2023

by Mary Dickson with No Comment Lifestyle

In a world that often bombards us with unrealistic standards and expectations, it’s crucial for women to recognize and celebrate their unique worth. Understanding your self-worth is not just empowering; it’s a transformative journey that can positively impact every aspect of your life. In this blog post, we’ll delve into key insights and actionable steps to help you embrace and amplify your self-worth as a woman

What is Self-Worth?

Self-worth is the inherent value you place on yourself as a person. It goes beyond external validation and societal expectations, encompassing a deep sense of respect and love for oneself. For women, understanding self-worth involves recognizing and appreciating their individual strengths, qualities, and uniqueness.

Why is Self-Worth Important for Women?

In a society where women often face unrealistic beauty standards and gender biases, cultivating a strong sense of self-worth is a powerful tool for resilience. It forms the foundation for healthy relationships, assertiveness, and pursuing one’s goals with confidence.

Overcoming Societal Expectations

Women are often expected to conform to societal norms, whether in terms of appearance, behavior, or career choices. To enhance your self-worth, challenge these expectations by embracing your authenticity. Understand that your worth is not determined by others’ opinions but by your own values and aspirations.

Dealing with Beauty Standards

The media often perpetuates narrow definitions of beauty. Recognize that true beauty comes from within, and it’s diverse. Celebrate your unique features and qualities that make you distinct. By dismantling these unrealistic beauty standards, you empower yourself to embrace your authentic self.

Positive Affirmations for Women

Practice positive affirmations daily to reinforce a healthy self-image. Remind yourself of your strengths, accomplishments, and potential. Affirmations like “I am strong,” “I am capable,” and “I deserve success” can gradually shift your mindset towards self-empowerment.

Developing a Growth Mindset

Embrace challenges as opportunities for growth. A growth mindset fosters resilience, adaptability, and a belief in your ability to learn and overcome obstacles. By reframing setbacks as stepping stones, you’ll strengthen your sense of self-worth.

Importance of Setting Boundaries

Establishing clear boundaries is essential for preserving your mental and emotional well-being. Learn to say ‘no’ when necessary and prioritize activities that align with your values. Setting boundaries communicates your self-worth to others and protects your precious time and energy.

Self-Care for Women

Self-care is not selfish; it’s a fundamental aspect of honoring your self-worth. Whether it’s indulging in a hobby, practicing mindfulness, or maintaining a healthy lifestyle, prioritize activities that rejuvenate and nourish your mind, body, and soul.

Conclusion:

Recognizing and embracing your self-worth as a woman is an ongoing journey of self-discovery and empowerment. By challenging societal expectations, cultivating a positive mindset, and prioritizing self-care, you’ll unlock the true potential that lies within you. Remember, your worth is inherent, unique, and deserving of celebration. Embrace it with open arms, and watch as your life transforms into a journey of authenticity, fulfillment, and success.
