Hi Abby, great article! I really like the children’s podcast suggestion. I’ll have to look for some options on children’s literature! Thanks for sharing.
I think you would really enjoy Leila Lawler’s work (Like Mother Like Daughter blog, Summa Domestica books). I suggest starting with the most popular articles on her blog if you check her out:)
I second this!! Abby would absolutely love her content. The books are my all time books for motherhood. You’d also like Abbie Halberstadt’s books “M Is For Mama” and “Hard Is Not the Same Thing as Bad.”
Love your tips!!! I'm definitely going to try audio books for my two boys!!!
My tip would be to declutter as much as possible! Your items cost you in time (organizing it, maintaining it, looking for it when you need it only to not find it, etc), space (takes up valuable real estate in your home), and money (buying organizers, other materials to repair or help use up what you've saved, etc). Over the past two years I've decluttered 80 percent of my items (it helped moving cross country) and for the first time in my life, I don't feel overwhelmed tidying and cleaning AND enjoying time with my two lovely toddler boys! Time, especially as a mother, is SO precious. I don't want to waste any of it on my things. I'd rather spend it with my family or even doing side projects to make my home more beautiful and peaceful!
Now back to real life... Gotta go clean up the explosion of a mess my boys just made from lunch while I was on my phone.... Completely my fault... Haha! Wish me luck!

Love this! Trying hard to accomplish it myself -- my nesting instincts are calling for me to declutter my whole house!
Love this! Never thought of kids’ podcasts!
Loved your tips! We have a Yoto as well and my kids love the Peter rabbit stories, as well as the classical music set of cards.
Cool
