This board is a tough place at the moment - and honestly I’m feeling it too - Christmas is hard, I’m exhausted- and generally feeling beaten down by the endless monotony of everyday life. I need a boost! Would it be unreasonable to ask you wonderful people to inspire me into positivity and action? In advance of the New Year - Could we start a thread where we just share little ideas of things that have made our lives easier / more productive and more fun so we can inspire each other?
my current issues are work life balance, quality time with kids, kids not eating, kids not wearing clothes, feel like I’m always tidying, never having the right thing to wear, finding time to exercise, watching too much tv as brain fried by 9pm, kids on screens too much, staying on top of body maintenance, staying emotionally stable, no babysitters so never go out with DH, … and a whole bunch of other first world stuff. So inspire us! What makes a difference, what do you do that we could all do to make our lives better?
