Even though sometimes the multi-tasking is socializing with friends on playdates while they play with friends or something like that. I’m just not good at playing with them at home, although we do read a lot so I guess that counts!

I’ve been trying to finish a project and I’ve structured my day into hourly segments to help me out. I’ll spend time eating breakfast with Bensen and getting him and Emmy ready for the day and then I let him have independent play time during the first hour of her morning nap, while I get something done. That next hour of her morning nap, we play together. I never feel guilty because when I think about it at the end of the day, he gets at least 3 or 4 hours of my undivided attention each and every day.

I find I spend way too much time scrolling my actual feed, but the groups app is great if you want to keep up with challenges or your neighbourhood etc. 🙂
I love that second point. It’s absolutely true and such an important skill for kids to learn. Since I am a full-time working mom I obviously prioritize my time during weekdays with them as special quality time (usually 2ish hours a day) but on weekends I am happy to let them play by themselves why we are nearby in the kitchen or laundry room etc.
good luck!!!
