To Schedule Or Not Schedule... That Is The Question...

Ok, lets have a chat... in this current time... are you team schedule or team no schedule? Is it better for you and your family to be on a schedule or just roam around and be free? This is a question I see asked a lot recently. Especially while parents who have become stay at home parents that used to not be one- this includes Me and my family.

So the Questions remains... to schedule your time or not to schedule your time??
For me and my Family, we are team schedule. 


The reason for that would be because I am an control freak hahaha ok....well that's true and all.. but honestly it is because my kids do better on a schedule then off on one. And really that's all that matters. We break our day up into time blocks. Its really helpful for the kids to know that at certain times they have certain responsibilities. It also helps teach my kids about time management... if they only have certain amount of time to do things then they will learn to make choices to fit that time. 

To each family their own... honestly right about now anything we are doing is ok! If all we want is the best interest of our children then we are doing the right things. There is no shame in letting your kids play Xbox all day if that is what YOU think is best for your children. 

Don't get me wrong, sometimes my kids spend all day in their jammies, eating junk food and playing on their devices. Sometimes I forget to give my kids a veggie with lunch and just give them chicken nuggets. 

I think in this time we need to allow ourselves grace to make choices and be totally patient with everything. Also, taking it 1 day at a time is important... I don't think I would survive any other way. 

If your struggling to get a schedule, girlllll... I got you covered, 'going to leave the schedule Keith and I created for the kids below. Check it out... tweak it to fit your kids and what you need. I am no expert.. I am just a mom who is crazy with OCD and doesn't want her kids to be mush all day. 

Kids Schedule

10:00 Am-11:30 Am- Quite Time; No electronics.
11:30 AM- 12:30 PM- Lunch Time

1:30 PM-2:00 PM- Snack/ relax time 
2:00 PM-3:30 PM- Academics/ Study/ School 
3:30 PM-5:00 PM- Free time 


Weather your keeping you kids on a timed schedule or letting the kids roam around the house with underwear on their head, do you boo... whatever works for you right now, is alright! Honestly, it doesn't really matter what I think, its what you think which is what matters. 

Mawma... if no one told you today, then I will. Your amazing and your doing a great job!

Till Tomorrow. 💗

I Am On Struggle Bus.

The Struggle Is Real Out Here. I am not sure about any of my other moms( and dads) out there... but I am seriously struggling with all of this. It is not necessarily the whole quarantined thing, honestly I get it. This is all about how I feel on the inside because of this.  I love change, in fact whenever I can change something to hopefully make things better I completely embrace it. I love routine and I love to make a new system more and more productive.  Honestly, since like 2 weeks ago... I feel totally out of control of the change. I get it, no one was prepped for this, and logically this statement makes total sense... but emotionally I feel TERRIBLE .  The Mom Guilt is Real I am not Super mom and I know this, but why do I want to seem like I am?Why is everything in front of me so much more important? Why am I not giving myself the space to do the things that are important to me? What is even important to me at this time?  I mainly think it is beca...

If You See Me..

This is the face of someone who needs a break. Yes I said it... I need a break. This quarantine really has got me stressed out. Yes, I know that I am not the only one, however for this moment I am saying that.. I NEED A BREAK!  A break from my kids, my fiance, my job.. everything honestly. Also, it's totally ok to say this. NOt everything is peaches and cream right now. I just feel overwhelmed and frustrated more than ever.  This is the face of someone who has depression. Sure do have this... in fact right now is probably the worst that it has been in a long time. When Keith told me that what I think is how I am when I'm depressed is how I've been behaving regularly.. well then.. its time to get some professional help. So I made an appointment with the doctor. I am happy to report that I am on a better path and should start feeling better soon.  This the face of someone who wants more out of life. Duhh! how could I not? I'm 30 years old and of course I don't feel li...

Keeping It Spicy!

How Do You Keep Your Relationship Spicy?  After 10 years of being together honestly, Keith and I have to work on being present in our relationship a lot. Especially because we were young parents,our whole relationship is surrounded around our kids. We literally have to make time to work on our relationship. We didn't really know each other too well when we had our first child together so when we decided to make it work, we were both still in our early 20's and didn't understand that the other person has needs in a relationship.  Weither   those needs were emotional or sexual.. they were not being met.. for either of us. Men and Sex  Men learn everything about sex from pornography, and if you ask the woman in your life she will tell you that the orgasm the girl in the pretzel of a pose is faking it. Sure the reaction to sex is real.. but that BIG orgasm is all acting. Men learn to just stick it in and make it work... HELLO... have you ever heard of four play?? ...
