Typical day in my life

 



I don’t have a set time I wake up but usually I’m up between 6:30 and 8:30 it really depends on how the night before went with baby to what time I wake up. 

Each morning I start my day by turning a kids program on for my daughter to watch while I enjoy my morning coffee. I then make something for my daughter to eat (I don’t eat breakfast it makes me feel sick to eat first thing in the morning). 

Once she is sat down eating breakfast I tidy the living room floor from the day before I then do my dishes and tidy up my hallway before cleaning which ever room it is that day to be cleaned. 

At this point it is time for my daughters nap so I put her down to bed before hanging up any washing from the night before or taking my rubbish out to the bin if it’s rubbish day. If neither of them apply I tend to lay in my bed and take a nap myself. 

Once my daughter wakes up I start making lunch for us we then sit down and listen to some music and eat before going on our daily walk if the weather allows it, sometimes we will walk to the shops other times to the park and sometimes we will just walk the block but it’s time spent getting fresh air that matters. 

We then start on learning, I read baby a book, teach her two new words (we’ll attempt too) and try and teach her her colours and numbers. 

By this time she’s pretty much over me so I allow her to play with her toys while I watch some tv and play some phone games stopping every once and awhile to take her to the potty (we are currently attempting potty training) and then once she starts wanting attention again I get down on the floor and play with her until it’s time to cook dinner. 

We eat dinner around 5-6 o’clock at night and then have our bath and shower and brush our teeth before turning on  a movie or two and just enjoying each other’s company. 

Once our movies are finished I put baby down to bed and I feed the cat, put a load of washing on if it’s needed, take any dirty dishes into the kitchen for the next day and start working on my business or my books, or advertising them.

I then go to sleep myself around 11:30 at night to start it all over again the next day. 

Each day is pretty different but I like to keep the same routine so I’m never bored.

Moving to a new country | with kids

Moving to a new country can be exciting but nerve wracking add in children and it can feel overwhelming to say the least, today I want to share all the advice and tips I have to move overseas after having just made an overseas move for myself with my two young daughters.   Mid January I moved from New Zealand back to Australia, some of you may know that I was actually born in Australia and lived over here until 2011 so for me this was about returning home but for my kids it was moving countries for the first time and while my youngest had no idea what was going on as she was only 3 months old my eldest had a range of emotions and it was honestly quite tough on her at times.   My first bit of advice is to just talk about the move, explain why you’re moving and what to expect in an age-appropriate way so that they can better understand what is going on, talk about all the positives with the move    that would interest them from new experiences to making new friend...

The benefit of learning a new language and tips on how to do it

  Learning a new language can be such a rewarding learning experience. I have been using Duolingo since April 2022 to learn Spainish after years of struggling but wanting to learn the language. I now have had a streak since the 10th April 2022 without missing a day and have learned a lot so I though I would compile a list of the benefits of learning a new language and some tips on how to do it for those of you who also want to learn another language.  Benefits of learning a new language 1. Cognitive enhancement: Learning a new language can boost your memory and recall abilities. Multilingual individuals also tend to have improved problem-solving and critical-thinking skills. 2. Cultural Awareness: Language learning provides a deeper understanding of other cultures and perspectives. Knowing the local language also enriches travel experiences and interactions with locals. 3. Career Advantages: Being bilingual or multilingual opens up more job opportunities and can lead to higher...
