Finding the Rhythm: My Journey through 24/7 Parenting
First Puzzle Unlocked
About six years ago, I became a mom for the first time. Life has changed a lot since then. In the beginning, being a new mom came with many challenges, like figuring out how to live with a baby. As time passed, I moved from taking care of a baby to handling a toddler and then a preschooler. When two more little ones joined our family, it became about managing the dynamics with more kids. Parenthood, I’ve learned, is an ongoing journey filled with questions and happy chaos!
Thinking about it now, the question seems simple, but as a new mom, it was a real challenge for me back then. I’m sure other new moms feel the same way. Being an unschooling mom added another layer of challenge — no nursery, no school. Plus, for a long time in my motherhood journey, I lived overseas without family or friends nearby. It was tough, but it’s amazing that just after six years, I can easily answer that once puzzling question.
I want to share what helped me find the answer. Now, I know how to create a daily routine, visualize it, and make things run smoothly. There’s still room for improvement, but it’s not a big problem, not as tricky as it was when I had a four-month-old baby.
