A Day in the Life of a Working Mom 🫶🏼

Usually I wake up at 5am prepare all the things about 545am I leave the house and arrive at the gym at 6am

6.00am : GYM >> just showing up even sometimes i don’t feel like to go the gym hehe so usually i gym until 730am and prepare for work.

8am - 5pm : Clock in & clock out. These are the working hours and will vary from day to day. The morning emails and setting a daily plan almost feels like a break from the early morning home activities so savor the relaxation.

5-8pm : after 5pm I always rushing to go back home, pick-up time and the beginning of “The Witching Hours.” These are the hours where only the strong and strategic come out alive. The hours that combine school pick-up, homework and dinner preparations, first thing first preparing food for my son, packing his school bag, washing the milk bottles, packing my lunch for & my stuff for work. (usually vacuum mopping my mum in law and I will take turns to helping each other) after all done then I eat my dinner like a fast furious, after that spend some time with my son before bedtime

8-9pm : Bath time, change him into pyjamas after settle him etc then I give myself 15 mins to shower.

after that lay down with him my husband will talk story with him before bedtime.

930: time to sleep!!! recently my toddler slept at 10-11pm 😭 the routine is become very messy. but it’s ok, we try to adjust back slowly.

after my toddler sleeps, this is the point in that day you may actually be able to sit down / laying down use your phone before go to the bed hehe.

The days are long but the years are short. I am thankful for my wonderful, supportive partner by my side as he truly carries his share of the load. Whatever your family dynamic, I wish for you a strong support system as it truly takes the village to raise the child. As a working mother, you learn the importance of time management, structure, and most importantly that it is “OK” to let go of things that do not serve you. You learn that the most important gift you can give your family is your time and therefore you learn to make the most of it! Hire that cleaning lady every once in awhile so you can spend your weekend at the zoo or the beach rather than scrubbing toilets. Learn to have faith in others. Realize that you really can have it all if you stay strong & disciplined 🖤 #dayinmylife #MyLemon8Diary #MyVibe #Lemon8SG #Family #morningroutine #workingmom #dayinthelife #workingadults #marriedlife
