Encourage your children to help you around the house this week, too. They should be eager to do anything that will help them pass the time.
If you are trying to do any big projects this week, try to scale them back. Remember that real life is not Pinterest perfect. What you see on social media is what people want you to see. Behind the scenes there is stress and tears.
If you have multiple places to visit this weekend, do your best to guard some time just for your family to be at home. It is okay for you and your husband to decide to make your own traditions.
Drink your water this week. Eat healthy. Get in daily movement. Get to bed at a reasonable hour every night. All of these help your body.
