These are great tips! The struggle of one to two kids is definitely a thing because I’ve been going though it for several months now! I’m hoping the “easier” times begin soon! 😉

The childcare at the gym was huge for me with both kids. It’s the best was to ease into letting someone else watch them, get your me time, and they ease into a routine. Shew, being a mom is hard!!

I couldn’t agree more with all of these. The gym used to be my go-to relief until the kids started getting upset and then it just became stressful. I love my mom’s group and don’t know what I would do without them. Working on the babysitter right now!

Camden is just over 2 years and Bennett is now 6 months and it is getting a bit difficult juggling life and taking care of them both. Asking for help is KEY! You just have to put your pride to the side and realize that it truly takes a village! Thank you for the advise! I think I’ll look into a mom group this year…

I just had my second child a couple months ago and life has gotten so crazy! I definitely need to do better about asking for help!

I so wish I would have joined a Moms group when I had my first, but I was working full time and there just didn’t seem to be the time for it/nor was I really thinking about it. And asking for help, yes! I’ve gotten good at that with now having 3 🙂

I also hired some help since I was balancing working from home and two little kids and it made all the difference. I got over the “guilt” really quickly when I saw it made me and the kids happier overall. Sometimes it seems like there is a badge of honor of doing it all yourself, but it’s not true. It takes a village and it’s great for kids to be able to bond with other caring, loving adults too. Thanks for all the tips here, Annie!

I have a babysitter several mornings a week for graham while jack is at school. It does my sanity so good. And totally agree with play dates/mom friends. Couldn’t survive without them!
