Full day in the life, MOM OF 3! Target haul, sleep training + being honest! | Emma Donaldson

Solidarity! I’ve got three under 4 years old too and I’m home with them all day. It is simply the best, but no easy feat all at the same time. One thing that’s been so helpful for entertaining my older two is playing podcast/Spotify stories on our Bluetooth speaker while giving them some sensory play to do. It keeps them entertained for a good while. Water beads, rolled oats, rice, etc with some bowls, spoons, and what not works well for us!

Great video. I feel just like you do and hearing your honesty made me feel better. We just have to take it one day at a time. Love your videos❤️🤗

I understand how your feeling. I work full time and have 2 kids..16 and 9 and teaching one ro drive and their activities and ive been having alot of anxiety and no motivation lately. Last sat..I did basically nothing all day. I just had no will at all. So, i really get it bc om not sure what's going on either.

I think on days like that I just need to give myself more grace. It is okay to rest and feel like you’re not doing anything❤ I know that those days are not all the time. And kids don’t care 🙏🏻

Motherhood is rewarding but at times can be super challenging. My suggestion as a mom of 5 adults, 7 grandchildren, and a retired primary teacher after 34 years is to give yourself grace. Keeping a simple schedule helps children develop regulation. Play indoors, play outdoors, read stories, sing songs, color and paint, cook together, have snack and meals, rest and quiet time, and take time for yourself. You are a beautiful woman, bride, and mother. Some days are just hard. Accept that and face the next day with hope, optimism, and a simple plan to enjoy your children-these gifts from God-above all. If your house is messy and you have to order take out pizza for dinner, it’s okay. Our time with them is so short when we look back-18 birthdays, 18 summers, 18 Christmases. One day your house will probably be quiet, look lovely, and you will have a magazine-worthy dinner ready but you will wish for the chaos again!❤

Amen!

This is so so true. Thanks for sharing💗🥹 I am so blessed to be a mama. Gonna cherish every single day!

I saw the mirror you have for your kids in the car and really like them. Could you please give me the link to them or tell me what they are

[@EmmaDonaldson]

Okay yes! I added the link to my Amazon storefront. It’s not the exact one I have because it’s unavailable. But it is similar ❤️

[@tamdidam2473]

Right before you said that the Target trip was a mess I was thinking “wow, your 2 year old is so chill sitting in the stroller and everyone’s so well-behaved” well thanks for being honest because it’s never like that for me either, pure chaos everywhere we go with 3 kids 😂

Do you take a multivitamin? You might try that. Or you might have a magnesium deficiency. Talk to your doctor about your energy level.

[@EmmaDonaldson]

I wasn’t. But I just started this week so hopefully that helps a lot. Also taking extra Vitamin D. I feel better this week! 🙏🏻
