finding time to read with kids

I get asked so often how I find time to read as a mom of 3! I think it’s so important to have hobbies, especially as a stay at home mom. I have always loved reading and wasn’t something I wanted to give up doing after having kids.

My biggest tips are number one, to stop mindless scrolling. Any time I want to pick up my phone and scroll socials I just pick up my book instead! You would be shocked at how much time you truly spend on your phone that you could be reading a book instead. This also why I love my kindle, super easy to throw in a bag and read if my kids are playing at the park or I’m in a waiting room by myself, etc.

Second is audiobooks! I’m not a huge fan of using just audiobooks, but I love to use them when I’m in the middle of a book I’m loving but I have to do dishes or clean my house and don’t have the time to sit and read.

I’ve read 19 books so far this year, 9 of those being with a newborn! It’s definitely possible 🫶🏼
