I have found that making time to recharge is absolutely huge for me. About a month ago, there was a day when I let myself get consumed with pushing through (and didn't eat enough on top of that), and by the day's end, I was NOT a fun person to be around...that kind of thing hadn't happened to me in a very long timeAnneMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13462442204217572325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758330335100037759.post-49903199497035672682022-03-28T06:56:57.321-05:002022-03-28T06:56:57.321-05:00This is such an important thing to talk about.

I think I need to sit down, as you did, and really take some time to identify concrete ways to get some time freed up to recharge.

I hope you and your husband are able to find a way to help you achieve a good balance and "recharge" time so you can get good rest and take care of yourself--both during the newborn days and beyond!

I love making lists and this has given me some good food for thought. It truly can be so hard to find that balance in motherhood - but as you wrote, it's ok to have needs and take care of ourselves.

As much as I love seeing people and doing activities, I have been finding that a slower pace to our life right now is really important for us. And I hear you on the clutter! With that, I really focus on two areas: our living room (where we spend a lot of time throughout the day) and the kitchen (also AnneMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13462442204217572325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758330335100037759.post-17958003915287208132022-02-09T12:05:39.566-06:002022-02-09T12:05:39.566-06:00Same as Michelle-- would love to hear your specifi...Same as Michelle-- would love to hear your specifics of what changes you made! I know we all have different situations even as SAHMs but I like hearing the practical and reflecting on which would apply for me. :) I have noticed this winter we have been so much less busy and so much more peaceful-- and i seem to have rest time every day to read/pray/recharge...however, I know newborn season is Laura @ Life Is Beautifulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11217783333084830679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758330335100037759.post-33033715503827576412022-02-08T21:16:40.594-06:002022-02-08T21:16:40.594-06:00I would love to hear of some of the changes you ma...I would love to hear of some of the changes you made! If you’re comfortable with sharing any, of course. I’ve been in the process of doing the same thing and trying to get a daily/weekly/monthly flow with everything spread out and built-in time for rest and recharging.
