Being A Mom Isn't Easy, But It Can Be Easier

Being a Mom isn’t easy, safe to say that just about everyone can agree regardless of their gender or parenting status. With just about everything needing to be taken care of, sometimes it might just get a bit too overwhelming to deal with everything on a daily basis. Of course, no one said it would be easy, but everyone deserves to be able to take it easy now and then. Let’s quickly look at a few ways in which you could make your daily life as a mom at least a little bit easier.

Remember that you are not alone

It might be hard to leave your kid with someone else other than yourself or your significant other, but just keep in mind that there are humans other than you on the planet that are just as capable as you are. Trust is a whole different matter altogether, but if you have some close family who wouldn't mind helping out sometimes. Even some friendly neighbors can be an absolute lifesaver. Everyone needs a break from the house sometimes, and if you can get someone to cover for you, that well-deserved rest can be yours for the evening. 

Dealing with your kids getting sick

Running over to the hospital in a wild panic can get old really quickly, and very often it is plain unnecessary. Of course, this is purely because you care and you do not want anything to happen to them. But a time comes when you need to stop overreacting and learn to stand on your own two feet rather than depend on the emergency room for the smallest things. Ask your parents for some home remedies and whatnot, if asking your parents is not an option you could always look some up online. If you don’t have much faith in home remedies, just keep in mind that they probably got you through your childhood. Of course, sometimes you have to go and just get some medicine, but once again, running to the pharmacy every time can be quite the ordeal. Fortunately, we are nearly in 2018 and everything can be found online, including ePharmacies. If you cannot leave the house, or the pharmacy isn't within arms reach, this is the perfect solution.

Try to strengthen their independence

More independent kids, are happier kids. Try to get your kids used to the idea of sleeping as early as possible. If you manage to get them to sleep willingly when they’re a few weeks old, it will make life much easier for everyone involved. When you’ve fed them, changed their diapers and left them in their crib for a moment, snuggle them up then try to leave the room. There is nothing worse than making them overly dependent on you for every little thing, because if you go down that route they might not even be able to sleep without being in your arms. It might sound somewhat selfish, but it’s just being realistic and actually doing what’s best for your child. It might not be an issue just yet, but a year or so down the line your back will be thankful for not having to carry around your kid at all times. 

Freshen Up Your Home In 5 Simple Steps

There’s nothing like filling your lungs with fresh air! Thankfully, you don’t always have to head outside to do so as it’s entirely possible to keep the air inside your home nice and fresh all year round. 

It’s very easy for the air in our rooms to get stale and musty, but this is easy to change once you know how to correctly air out your home. These five steps can make your rooms much fresher in no time at all!


Open The Windows

This is probably very obvious, but it still bears mentioning - open your windows! This will allow all the fresh air from outside to rush into your rooms. It’s a good idea to do this even in the middle of winter when it is very cold outside. To ensure your home doesn’t get too cold, only leave the windows ajar and don’t leave them open for too long.

Add Some Fragrances

If you take a look at sites like www.aromatechsystems.com, you will see that you can now buy scent machines that will fill your room with pleasant fragrances. These are ideal for both office and home. You can choose from a wide range of scents, which will quickly diffuse around your room, no matter how big it is.

Update Your Air Conditioning Unit

When was the last time you had your air conditioning checked out? If it hasn’t been for a while, then this is something you need to think about doing. If the unit is very old, then it could actually be adding impurities to the air which can be bad for your family’s health and will also make the air much staler. Even if your unit isn’t that old, it’s still important to get it checked every year to make sure it’s in good working condition.

Add Some Houseplants

Did you know that houseplants can greatly improve the air quality in your home? It’s true! Not only will plants and flowers add some pleasing fragrances to your home, but they are also great at purifying the air. Plus, they can help you add touches of bright color around your home. Not all plants are great for purifying the air, though, but the best ones include spider plants and Boston ferns. You can see a complete list of purifying houseplants at www.greatist.com.

Get An Air Purifier

If you know that the air in your home is particularly stale, you should invest in an air purifier. You just need to place the purifying unit into a room and turn it on so that it can work its magic. It will effectively remove all the toxins and impurities from the air, leaving lots of fresh air behind!

As you can see, you don’t have to live in a home that is filled with dirty and musty air. All you need to do is follow the five steps above and you will have a much fresher house or apartment in no time. And then you can breathe easy!

Make Healthy Home Hacks Even Healthier

If you want to make your home healthier, there are hundreds of healthy home hacks that can help you. Making a few changes to your home can help to make it a healthier environment and make it easier for you to make healthy lifestyle choices too. But some healthy home hacks might not go far enough. You can make some of them even healthier if you know the right tricks. With a little extra thought, you can go to the next level and get a home that's in the best condition for your health. Try out some of these ideas to make your healthy home hacks even healthier and greener.

Switch to Microfiber Towels/Cloths

If you've been on a mission to have a green home, you might have stopped using paper towels or disposable wipes. This can make you worry that you're not cleaning your home as well as you could be, but it doesn't have to. You can use reusable towels and clothes and still make sure you have a clean and healthy home. Microfiber is one of the best materials to use because they're so absorbent and good at picking up dirt and debris. They're excellent for cleaning with water and cleaning products, as well as for dusting.


Use More Natural Scents and Air Fresheners

Making your home smell better is good for your health in a few ways. It can force you to seek out the source of unpleasant smells, as well as make your home more relaxing with pleasant scents. However, if you start using air fresheners or other fragrances, you might want to take a look at the ingredients. Perhaps you would prefer to use more natural essential oils, which you can diffuse in your home without letting too much moisture into the air. You can learn more about the gadgets that help you do this from Aroma Tech. Looks for oils that are organic and non-allergenic, among other things.

Balance the Moisture in Your Home

For a healthier home, a lot of people start finding solutions to reduce the moisture in the air. This can involve using a dehumidifier or changing lifestyle habits. However, it's also important to remember not to remove too much moisture from your home. You don't want it to be too dry, or it could be bad for your skin and other aspects of your health, as well as your home. If you have a dehumidifier or a humidifier (if the air is usually dry), you can often set it to a specific humidity level so you can get the balance just right.

Make Sure Reusable Food Containers Are Safe

Reusable food containers are an excellent way to reduce waste. They can also help you to eat healthier by making it easy to prepare meals in advance. But you should check to see if the containers you're using are as safe as they can be. Ideally, any plastic should be BPA-free. Of course, your containers should also be safe to freeze, chill or expose to heat if you plan to store them in the fridge or freezer or heat up food in them.

Even if you've started to make your home healthy, you could go further and make it even healthier. Make careful decisions to ensure you're getting the most out of your home hacks.
