Mom Reflection
I try my best to get out of the house a couple of times a week for free events so we’re not stuck at home all day. It can be challenging to plan outings since I only have about a three-hour window, and I have to schedule in both food and a bottle. It’s definitely a lot sometimes, but I’ve found that the more we go, the easier it gets. We’re slowly getting into a routine.
It’s especially easier when my husband and I take our daughter out together while one of us can pack while the other plays with her, which makes a big difference. I love finding these free local community events and sharing our experiences. Hopefully, it inspires you to get out of the house too!
Coming Next Week:
Next Sunday, I’ll be sharing simple, free sensory play ideas you can set up at home with things you already have in your home. Make sure to bookmark the blog or follow me on Instagram so you don’t miss it!
