Here's a great article i stumbled upon: Secrets of mommyhood.
at "mom's daily retreat" blog.
humm. what could I add?
1) Don't overdoo it in a day. Motherhood is a tiring job, so find your balance between not doing enough fun daily activities to enrich both your lives and doing too much. (I get waay off balance and overdoo it some days)
2) If you get frustrated, take a breather...
switch the atmosphere if possible, go for a walk, go to a different room, get a babysitter, phone a friend, put on a movie for the kid...
And then think about how this is all going to change so soon and cherish this time!
3) Do not forget about yourself. take care of yourself. You can not take care of others if you don't take care of yourself properly! If people offer help - take it. If you need help - ask for it...
4) Watch lots of vintage sesame street with your kid...
I think I'll have more to add after a couple more years of parenting.
any additions?
