Start the New Year Right
Resolutions for Mothers of Multiples
By Elizabeth Lyons
.
Plan Your Weekly Escape
For heaven's sake, this does not include a trip to Target for diapers or the grocery store for the week's food items! Plan to have a scheduled afternoon or evening each week when you do something for yourself. Sign up for a yoga class through the park district or a cooking class at a local gourmet cooking store, join a small group at church or find a special place to volunteer. Choose something that you will enjoy, that will make you feel satisfied and that you will look forward to each week. If you are emotionally invested in the activity, you will be more committed long term. Keep Cabin Fever to a Minimum
If you have children who are not yet regularly attending school, vow to have an activity at least once a week that gets you all out of the house – especially if you live in a cold winter climate. How about a weekly trip to the library to pick out a few new books or movies? Or a weekly play date with friends? A gym class to drain a bit of the kids' energy? Winter can seem endless, but if you have a plan to make it through a week at a time, you'll be swinging on the swings at the park before you know it.
