As of Monday of this week I have become a stay at home mom. It was a decision that my husband and I thought long and hard about and together we decided that this was a great opportunity for our family. So after being employed full time for umpteen years I am now the employee of a 2 year old and a four month old.
As amazing as it is to be home with my babies, I know that for my own sanity and for the sake of the kiddos a schedule had to be in place. Kids thrive on knowing what is next and my 2 year old has much easier days if we follow our routine.
For any parent that is home with the kids (whether all day or just evenings or weekends) I definitely recommend establishing a routine. I also strongly suggest allowing room for variations as well as time for yourself (hallelujah nap time).
