Library, gymboree, play date, or just running errands. I can't survive staying home. We both have colds so we cant go to the kiddo activities..... It's sucked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-do-you-do-with-your-kids-all-day#post-543091 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 07:00:42 +0000 mynoahbear 543091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Play, eat, go on play dates, go to different classes (swimming, art, music), take a walk if the pollution's not bad, nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-do-you-do-with-your-kids-all-day#post-542986 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 01:55:01 +0000 owlmom 542986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bebefly: ha ha! Yep, that sounds about right :)</p> <p>We follow pretty much the same routine everyday:<br /> - Wake up<br /> - Read books<br /> - Go for a run/stroller ride<br /> - I shower while LO plays in her pnp turned ball pit<br /> - Breakfast<br /> - Activity out of the house. Twice a week we go to library story time, once a week we go to the children's museum or the zoo (we have memberships to both), once a week we have a play date, and the other day we go to the grocery store and run errands.<br /> - Lunch<br /> - Nap<br /> - Indoor play time - toys, puzzles, sing songs, etc<br /> - Snack<br /> - Outdoor play time<br /> - Playtime with dad when he gets home from work<br /> - Dinner, bath, story, bed </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-do-you-do-with-your-kids-all-day#post-542984 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 01:52:30 +0000 MrsStar 542984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo is 4 months, so tummy time, feeding, naps, play with her toys, read to her. I try to escape the house at least once a day so we'll go for a walk or window shopping or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-do-you-do-with-your-kids-all-day#post-542972 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 01:29:09 +0000 cyndistar3 542972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me and the big one do zumba in the morning, we eat, I clean, change diapers we watch a little bit of cartoons, we play, change more diapers, then during nap time I just chill and watch a show or whatever. Then we work on learning stuff and do a random assortment of the things listed above until bedtime. And of course there is lots of nursing that goes on in between. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-do-you-do-with-your-kids-all-day#post-542969 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 01:20:47 +0000 HLK208 542969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a pretty regular routine--here are preschool days...other days just include naps at home and morning errands usually.</p> <p>7am: wake-up, feed DS breakfast, nurse DD<br /> 8-9: get everyone ready + leave<br /> 9:30: come home, feed DD breakfast, drink coffee<br /> 10-11: play with her on the floor<br /> 11: pick up DS<br /> 12: lunch<br /> 1: naps<br /> 3: outside activity (go for walk, run errands, play with soccer ball)<br /> 4: inside activity (paint, color, play-dough, board games)<br /> 5: make dinner<br /> 5:30: feed them<br /> 6: bath<br /> 6:30: pajamas and story time<br /> 7: bed<br /> 7:30: eat dinner with DH, take a shower and pour a large glass of wine :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-do-you-do-with-your-kids-all-day#post-542966 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 01:13:48 +0000 pinkcupcake 542966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like I spend most of the day feeding her. We try to get out of the house at least once a day, even if it's something boring like running an errand. I try to arrange a play date at least once a week, and we have Mommy &amp; Me classes that we go to three times a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-do-you-do-with-your-kids-all-day#post-541737 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 20:39:13 +0000 wheres_c 541737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now I'm at a loss on this one! He's 8 weeks old, and stays up all day but doesn't "play". I never know what to do with him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-do-you-do-with-your-kids-all-day#post-541735 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 20:38:47 +0000 sera_87 541735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Try not to lose my sh*t.

We eat, mommy drinks coffee, and we hang out downstairs.<br /> 7ish we go upstairs and the kids get dressed. Then we play in the playroom.<br /> 8:30/9 DD colors, reads books, or plays by herself in her room while I put DS down for a nap. Then we both go downstairs and she gets to watch a show while I shower. We brush her hair/teeth, and then she gets to do a big girl activity with me like a matching game, painting, etc...<br /> 10ish DS gets up from his nap and we either go outside, go to the library, go run errands, go on a playdate, etc.. If we have time, we do a sensory activity<br /> 12ish is lunch and then the kids play while I clean up.<br /> 1ish is naptime. I do homework while they sleep.<br /> 3ish the kids are up, and DH gets home at 3:30, so we have family time<br /> 5ish is dinner<br /> 6 starts bathtime and bedtime routine</p> <p>It's a busy day pretty much every day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-do-you-do-with-your-kids-all-day#post-541710 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 20:34:30 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 541710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>get dressed, breakfast, play with random toys until it's time to leave for morning activity (mommy-baby class/playdate/grocery store etc), come back for lunch, read books, nap, afternoon play more with toys/books/drawing/musical instruments and some time outside, make dinner, eat, bath, reading, bed </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-do-you-do-with-your-kids-all-day#post-541655 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 20:25:00 +0000 lovehoneybee 541655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do a lot of tummy time, some of it independent (he's working on sitting up and crawling). I read and sing to him a lot. We have dance parties--sometimes it's me helping him stand and "wiggling" him, sometimes I dance around and he giggles, sometimes I dance holding him. At least once a day I put on some music videos so I can start dinner. He's not really interested in his toys much except to chew on them. We try to take at least a short walk everyday, but it's hard to get out of the house because he's usually only awake for 90 or so minutes at a time, and the weather has been so crappy lately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-do-you-do-with-your-kids-all-day#post-541582 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 20:15:35 +0000 sarac 541582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We hang out and have family time in the morning, eat breakfast, get daddy off to work. Then we hang out and clean a bit listen to npr and read books and such, then naptime. I chill out, then she wakes up, we have lunch, then I shower and usually we go out for the afternoon. Then we come home and turn on the news and start dinner and wait for daddy to come home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-do-you-do-with-your-kids-all-day#post-541513 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 20:06:21 +0000 Mrs. Train 541513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't even know. We are so busy all day and sometimes I can't even remember what we did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-do-you-do-with-your-kids-all-day#post-541506 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 20:05:15 +0000 Bao 541506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's hard because LO is only 5 months, so I always run out of ideas. We play with her toys, listen to Pandora, she will play in her bouncy/jumper/swing while I do my own thing or clean. I nurse/feed her...We rarely go out though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-do-you-do-with-your-kids-all-day#post-541504 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 20:04:27 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 541504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ah...change,feed,play,sleep:repeat. Somehow in there I shower and cook and keep the house in tact.<br /> When DH gets home, things wind down because he helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sahms-what-do-you-do-with-your-kids-all-day#post-535616 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 20:00:00 +0000 chopsuey 535616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't even know. I survive. :D<br /> We play with her toys and puzzles, eat, watch some shows, go outside.. </p>
