A Stay-at-Home Mom Looking for advice and ideas

Flora1 · Jun 3, 2010

I am a Stay at home mom with two lovely and small kids. My DH remains very busy with his hectic travel and long working hours. SO I feel stuck at home with small kids. My entire day passes only dealing with kids and maid issues.
It gets very frustrating and depressing at times.

So i want to ask other stay at home moms that how do you spend your day, what is your routine like and what do you do for personal satisfaction and feeling of achievement?

Please help give ideas so that I can keep my mind sane and active.

I am currently a stay at home mum...and my son is 7yrs old. The following are what i do to keep myself productively occupied

1. I am pursuing my online masters degree.
2. I am learning to play Piano - I go to classes twice a week.
3. Volunteer at my son's school for gross motor skills, reading activities, excursions...etc
4. Work out in the gym and do swimming everyday
5. Meet other mum's for coffee mornings and lunch atleast twice a month - a very good support group for me!
6. Read a lot
7. Try out new recipes.
8. Take my son for soccer, taekwondo...and other after school activities.
and last but not the least I love shopping...so i indulge a lot in retail therapy

Cheers
