Great tips, Ashlee! I definitely need my alone time. Every evening, my hubby puts the kids to bed and I clean up after dinner and then have some quiet time for myself.

Great video. I have a morning ritual where I get up at 5 to pray and have devotions, then do whatever I want, think, plan, watch videos etc. so I get 2 to 3 hours by myself! Its the best thing I have ever done!

I agree about the exercise - I don't get it everyday but I getting it consistently each week and is something I can count on. I notice a huge difference in my overall mood and attitude when I'm getting regular exercise and when I'm not.

Meal prep/planning is another sanity saver for me. I meal plan for the month and prep as much as I can at the beginning of the month so that each night is so much easier. Along those lines, I also try to make extras of a big breakfast once a week (which I'm in the middle of right now!) so that we can use the extras on other mornings and that helps especially if we're trying to get out the door quickly.

For homeschool specifically, don't feel like you need to do "all the things" (i.e. art projects, field trips, science experiments). I'm still learning and practicing this but, since implementing it a few months ago, I have felt so much less pressure in our homeschool which has made us all saner.

These r great tips!! I have hit a wall mentally.. I home school my 13 year old and my 8 year old.. I also am a full time online student finishing up my degree.. it has been sooo challenging lately trying to fit everything in.. like you said that white space is a must.. I try, but my courses make it a challenge.. I agree the alone time is a must.. I try to get my alone time in 1-2 times a week.. a lot of the times my alone time is late at night studying, but it is uninterrupted so it is nice.

These are so so good! Thanks for sharing! On an unrelated note, I just wanted to say I think your home decor is so lovely. It would love to see a video on it! (:

I also NEED a break from my kids! I need to get away from them for at least an hour per week, if not more. Great tips girl!! 💜

I love my quiet evenings too! And my alone time. Sometimes we all need breaks from our kids!! 😬😊

Ashlee, yes! much needed mommy time for sure! I agree you need time to love yourself to give a better "you" to your kids for sure. I did a similar topic on my channel last month with some tips that I apply to my life as a sahm/sahm😃 tfs!

[MandieHeartsLife]

Great tips! I definitely need a night time ritual. And a community of HS moms to connect with. YT, FB and IG has been amazing and very welcoming. Now I need to work on in person😄 Thanks for sharing your tips👍

Hi Ashlee,
Have you thought of doing night time and morning routine videos? Also, if you have any tips for sahms about how to find time for exercise and the best and most effective exercises that would be much appreciated!
