Hey girlies ...

I’ve been home since I was 17wks pregnant. My child isn’t school aged yet but we get outside every day. We go to the zoo, aquarium, mall, playground, grocery stores etc

I get out walking every day and go to the gym 3-4x a week

I just do whatever I did prior to having my son. Just including him is the only difference

Honestly, enjoy it. If you have the opportunity to be a sahm thats awesome. I quit my job when my baby was born and shes 11 months now. But prior to that I was working remote so I was used to being at home for almost 7 years total.

Its tricky at first but once you realize that there's so many different things you can do its kind of awesome. As long as you have the financial support and not have to stress that aspect of it. I wake up early every day, clean and keep busy. But now that my baby is getting older and more independent I started gardening, I take care of our pets and plants, I picked up sewing, you can get into art of some sort, go out to group meets and play dates. Theres lots of businesses now that have indoor playgrounds for kids you can go and mingle with other moms. Honestly I dont care to work ever again as long as im raising kids and i dont have to lol

Okay thank you !!!! I will get my routine down... ❤️❤️❤️

Bored is something I don’t think you’ll experience. If the kids are at school you’ll find time to do the things that you’ve been putting off, prep for the next day, meal prep, housework, laundry, groceries, self care like workouts showers longer than 5 min., projects you want to work on, Meeting up with other moms with your schedule is crucial!

If they’re at home trust you won’t be bored! So many kids activities to set up at home and different things to take them to see outside the home. Think field trip everyday but simple could be a Fieldtrip to see what a cashier does, how many different types of plants they can collect a sample of from a confined area (that way you can make sure there’s no poison oak/ ivy, my up with moms with kids to do play dates.

So many things I left out

Have a routine, plan things to do through out the week rota. Library, museum, soft play, park etc.

I think you will be fine. I had similar fears about being on maternity leave, but once I built up a nice routine of activities, I am nearly never bored (we make sure we go out every day, either for scheduled baby+mum activities or just for walks+coffee, and house chores and play time usually passes quite smoothly around that).
Having said that, I know it's different being on maternity leave and ft stay at home mum long term. But I do think that same principles will apply, more or less.

Do you have hobbies? If not find things you like to do.
