Productive Activities to Embrace During Naptime
So, you’ve managed to get all your little ones to nap at the same time? What a win! Before you start cleaning or attempting to tackle the mess left behind from lunch, let’s chat about some other delightful ways to spend this precious, kid-free time. Because honestly, scrubbing that highchair might just set you up for another messy surprise later.
- Relive Baby Memories
Want to feel less frustrated with your tantrum-throwing toddler? Dive into those adorable videos of them babbling as a baby. Just be careful—watching those cute moments might make you want another little one! - Tidy Up Your Makeup Collection
Sort through your makeup and categorize it into “never wear,” “not gonna wear,” and “mascara.” Toss the first two categories. By the time you’re ready to wear makeup again, who knows what might be growing in there! - Plan Dinner Ahead of Time
After some thought, you might decide that it’s way more fun to whip something together last minute when your kids are hungry and complaining. Who needs a plan, anyway? - Shoot a Sweet Text to Your Partner
How about a loving message like, “Could you please grab some cereal on your way home?” It’s definitely more affectionate than your usual “Did you eat all the cereal?! Sophie only eats Cheerios!!! 😩” - Watch Movie Trailers
Who has $16.99 to spend on a full movie? Instead, just watch the trailers and piece together the plot: boy meets girl, they fall in love, then kids come and chaos reigns. - Stalk That Mom You Want to Befriend
Check out that mom’s social media to learn about her interests and background. Just remember, don’t mention you know she loves that band in your first chat. - Research Your Ailments
That weird bump on your foot? You might as well look it up. Better to know now than wait for the doctor to tell you it’s “just a wart.” Who needs a good night’s sleep, right? - Browse Through Old Emails with Your Partner
Wow, remember all that flirty banter? It might be time to rekindle that side of your relationship—if only the kids would sleep through the night! - Indulge in a Snack
Snack time! Grab a handful of nuts and some dark chocolate. Who’s counting servings, anyway? If the serving size is one, who’s to say five isn’t the right amount?
Oh, look at that cutie sleeping! Wait a second—what’s happening in the crib? Did he take off his diaper? Where’s Elmo’s head? Oh boy, maybe I should’ve added “day drinking” to this list!
