A stressed mom/student..

As a mother who is also a student, i find it hard to always find a good or helpful balance between parenting and finding the time to be a good student.

It is 11:48pm and i am studying for a test i have at 10:30am tomorrow morning, stressing about passing so i don’t have to take it again. Being a student and a parent at the same time is a very hard thing todo, is it impossible? No. But it defiantly takes a person with a lot of self control. I find myself half studying a majority of the time, and saying “well if i pass, i pass” but i know if i fail and have to retake the exam it will only set me back. And that is the most hurtful thing to my time.

I wonder constantly about ways that could help me balance the two. But when my LO is sleeping i am doing house work. And it’s only after my fiancé get’s home that i get that i am able to give studying my undivided attention. But then i struggle with a break, who want’s to spend all their time constantly going? I need to know all the information for my tests, or be able to take this practice test but i can only do it in a room by myself in complete silence but every parent know’s that is just nonexistent when you have children, especially toddlers.

For all my mother’s or father’s out there, who are also full time students where do you find the time? How do you find that balance, between your child, your home, your schoolwork and yourself? There has to be a schedule or tricks that help to make these schedules easier.

People think that stay at home parents and students don’t have it as hard as working people, but in some way’s it’s harder. And no, not every stay at home parent or student is just sitting around and not doing anything all day. Then both consist of a lot of attention and time, especially when you are doing both. Stop shaming parent’s for not working, stop shaming students for being students and stop making it seem impossible for the parent’s that are trying to better their education while taking on everything else. All we need are ways to make it a little more easier, or less stressful i should say.

How Do You Make Money From Home?

The wonderful joys of being a stay at home mom, there’s so many! Although it may be hard sometimes, there’s nothing i wouldn’t trade it for. But one thing i’ve seen a lot of stay at home mom’s do, but haven’t quite figured it out myself are ways to make money online. I see a lot of mom selling things, getting paid from youtube, or even blogging!

It really is pretty cool that we live in a generation where stay at home mom’s can find ways to make some money from themselves without having to work a 9-5 and take care of a child. I’ve been on both ends of the spectrum, i’ve had a job. And then i’ve been the one at home doing the housework. If i got paid for being a stay at home mom, i’d live the life. Because there’s nothing better than staying home with my son, and getting the opportunity to watch him grow every day. But i hate not always being able to have my own money. I have an awesome fiance, who helps a lot but i think everyone enjoys making their own money. And who couldn’t always use an extra income?

We always see the commercials or advertisements talking about how to make money from home, but they always seem kinda sketchy to me. I have yet to talk to anyone real, that actually makes a income at home. So my blogging today is reaching out to those stay at home moms or just people who make their income offline, how do you do it? What are good way’s to start? What is a good option for someone like me? Because i’m sure so many other’s have this same question as well.

Is it a real reality, can it be done by just anyone? Or is that false advertisement. I highly doubt i’ll get any real comments on this. But please if you have any advice, i’m all ears!

My Beginning!

Hello everyone! Before I really jumped into starting my blog, I felt I should put a little bit more about me and why I decided to start this blog.

I am a teen mother, a stay at home mom, as well as a student. Throughout the day things get hard, somedays can be harder than others and it’s good to have an outlet. I want to be able to be a place for teen mothers or pregnant teens to go to if they resort to the internet for help. Because the things we find on the internet aren’t always helpful or true. In this case, everything I talk about will be from my personal experience as well as the things that I’ve learned as a mother.

Don’t feel like you have no one to go to, because there is always someone! I really hope this goes as planned and helps as many struggling teens or mothers as possible. I am just now getting the hang of this ‘blog’ thing, so I really hope you decide to join along and follow this journey with me!
