Someone tell me how you do it all

Sorry iam no good to advice, in a similar boat as u babe 😄 my friends houses are tidy and sorted, mine is up side down 😄 they do it as they go i think or when kids in bed at night or some do early in the morning. I also prioritise nap when kids do coz I cant function all day properly I mean headaches kick in and all stress if dont snooze for a bit :))) keep going it will be easier when kiddos ik school full time xxx

I’ve got two under two, and I find you really have to have systems and plan ahead where you can. For example, I have a station set up in the lounge where I can feed the baby while watching and playing with my toddler.

I have ways of playing with my toddler that don’t involve using my hands. For example, I play animal noises through my phone speaker, and he has to guess what the animals are. I can also direct him to different coloured cones around the room.

Where possible, I try to prepare food in batches. As well as batch cooking, I keep plenty of fruit cut up and ready to go, so I don’t have to spend time doing that later.

I have ways of putting the baby down in the kitchen so I can get things done while he’s there. I have a highchair for him and toys to keep him distracted.

I look for efficient ways to do everything, and I question the cost of things if they take up my time. I make things good enough, not perfect, and make sure I don’t let perfect become the enemy of good.

I’ve got frozen corn and peas in the freezer too, and things like that that I can quickly add to a meal for a healthy side. I used to spend hours cooking.


I also have my toddler in nursery three days a week. When people come to visit, I don’t give them my full attention—I hand them the baby and get on with what I need to do!

I also found an app that lets you have a to-do list that my husband can also access so we put everything we have to do on there and we can flag the priorities so we both work together on the most important things as before we had that he would try and help but he would just be doing stuff that was not a priority and I found that really frustrating cause then I was left with all the high priority stuff, but it's cause we had didn't have a system for communicating it so that app has been really helpful

I hope this helps, you got this!
