We’ve got to love the ever evasive nap time when all of the children are asleep at the same time. They’ve all drifted off into blissful rest. Now’s your chance to act!
1.Eat a Hot Meal
If you tend to get the kids’ food ready first and then you get the chance to eat, you know exactly why Mama Bear’s porridge was always cold. Quick! While they’re asleep whip you up something that is delicious when hot. The bonus is that there are no interruptions.
2.Guilt Free Chores
The work-life balance can be quite the struggle, so making every moment count can be tough when housekeeping has to fit in between all the things working parents do. Making time to actively play with our kids, read to them, and share meals are moments we don’t want to compromise. Plus, there are only so many time you can play “housekeeper” until the tiny humans burn out from it.
3.Dessert All to Yourself
Oh yes, this is separate from the hot meal. Whether it’s chocolate, candy, cookies, or cake, NONE of it is for the children, and that is glorious. Sure, you can eat it in front of their precious little faces or even share with them, but there is no comparing an unreasonably large slice of cake all to yourself without a mouth-breathing angel right by your face.
So there you have it. Reasons to Carpe Diem on the once-in-a-blue-moon opportunity when all of the kids are napping. Let’s get after it!
