@daniellenicoledodd: I thought that I was the only one that shut the house down midday, including stopping my chores. until I recently saw another stay at home mom say she gives herself a “union break” every day. It’s such a great time mentally to reset. Each kid takes a nap or goes to their room for a quiet activity. Usually for about 2 hours. I spent part of that time doing something I enjoy, I read a book for 30 min. Or binge a show on bravo( currently catching up on The Valley) while I eat lunch. And then I spend the remainder of my time doing something that’s just easier without the kids around. The house is quiet and everyone gets some alone time to rest their bodies and minds. Do you do this? Side note: the @eatshameless gummies fit perfectly through the mouth hole of the iRestore red light mask 😜 #shamelesspartner
