Nanny to Mommy

It's that time again! This year is suppose to be different and more hectic (as far as shipping goes) than years past. So I wanted to get the ball rolling and showcase some gift ideas for kids bored at home this holiday season so you can start your gift giving season off a little earlier than normal so those presents can be in loved ones' hands on time.

In older times, having children was not perceived as a burden but as a good in itself. Is motherhood a neutral event, which each age has positive or negative connotations? Of course not. Parenting, parenting, and childcare should be enjoyable in itself.

The behaviors that are essential for the survival of the individual or the species produce pleasure. Animals do not know that food contains nutrients necessary to live nor that sex is necessary to reproduce. They act motivated by pleasure. It is necessary to care for and feed children for years. No animal does it for as long as humans, so it is a complicated and lengthy process. We often bow down to the social norms of today without giving a second thought to our own mental health. Additionally, there appears to be an essential feedback mechanism that the more you care for a baby, the more you want to continue to care for it. You fall in love. 

There’s an incredible world out there, complete with all sorts of beautiful and uplifting sights to see, things to do, places to go, and people to meet. Unfortunately, there’s always a risk that the day-to-day grind can end up making it difficult for us to maintain a sense of perspective on all these things.

Life is simply better when you are able to maintain your zest for life, and to keep it active for as much of the time as possible. But it’s difficult to keep feeling enthusiastic and driven when you’re exhausted, disheartened by setbacks, and have to deal with assorted mundane chores that you don’t get any satisfaction from. 

When all is said and done, paying proper attention to your personal wellness and self-care can be phenomenally important when it comes to allowing you to keep engaging with the world in a driven and enthusiastic manner, day after day. 

Family days out are a fantastic day to create memories that your kids will cherish forever. But, while they are full of excitement and adventure, you also need to consider the safety aspect. Your kids might be used to being out on their own when walking to school, but considering how busy popular destinations are, you will need to ensure that they are as safe as possible wherever you go.
