SAHMs - What's your routine?

When my son was younger I went to dollar tree and bought a bunch of educational stuff like the books you can trace letters in, puzzles, the abc chart that they have in school and so much more. My mom is a school teacher so I grew up always learning. This is a option. You can always put on grace’s corner, jack hartman or singing walrus and these YouTube Channels will help keep your kid learning and engaged. I don’t have a solid routine but I would wing it and do what works for me. I hope this help.

At that age I used to do a lot of hide and seek with my daughter. An enclosed ball pit can be pretty entertaining for a while. My daughter loved peas and corn frozen when she was young so I was pretty lucky with that lack of prep hahaha. But tons of frozen meals or I made lentils pretty often bc they cook super fast, esp the already split ones. Stuff like lentils and rice/lentils and pasta etc.

I feel like life didn't get "easier" until 2 bc she became more aware and had a longer attention span so she'd like color by herself for ages. Do you have any push toys? Like a little stroller for your kid to push. A sit and spin is pretty entertaining for them too.

yeah that would be so much easier, unfortunately our kitchen is tiny and there's not much space for a learning tower let alone counter space for 1yo to entertain herself 🫣

@Janet good points thanks! Yeah she loves her little stroller and the play kitchen too but I guess it'll ve easier once she will play with them more than 5 mins at a time 😅

Generally I feel much better knowing I'm not the only one serving quick frozen meals most of the time 👍 it's the only way it works at the moment
