Why Simple Routines For Moms Make Life Easier (and How to Stick to One that Works for You)

Being a mom is one of the most rewarding roles, but it’s also chaotic AF. From school runs and sick kids to budget balancing and changing relationship dynamics, the mental load can sometimes feel overwhelming (and that’s all before we leave for work in the morning.) There’s gotta be a better way for simple routines for moms.  Enter: your go-to Mom routine, tracked on Mama Mode.

Why Routines for Moms Matter

We’re not trying to dull your sparkle or squash your joie de vivre. In fact, the right routine can make life easier and free up more time in your schedule. A solid routine can provide you with a sense of calm and predictability even as responsibilities pile up. Routines can make the unexpected more manageable, so when life is life-ing, you’ve got some structure to fall back on.

Why the Mama Mode app includes tools for routines:

1. Reduce Stress and Anxiety: Routines can make the day run smoothly and provide structure for kids and grown ups. 
2. Consistency for Your Kids: Children thrive on routine. A regular bedtime, after-school schedule, or morning ritual gives a sense of security. When they know what to expect, meltdowns over the unexpected can be less of an issue.
3. Time for What Matters: Routines for moms don’t have to be rigid schedules. In our house, a simple post-dinner routine allows more time for bedtime books and snuggles (a win-win!)

How to Create a Simple Routine That Works for You

Starting a routine doesn’t have to be overwhelming. It’s all about small steps! Here are some tips to get started:

• Back to Basics: Evaluate your must-do’s (like breakfast, school drop-off, homework, and bedtime) and make a plan. Simple routines are sustainable routines.
• Set Goals and Intentions: Goals can be both personal and family-focused. Set and track goals in the Mama Mode app with intention and build routines to help meet them.
• Include Self-Care: Maybe it’s a walk, more water, a few deep breaths, or journaling. Whatever self-care looks like for you, find ways to include it in your routine. 
• Adjust and Evolve: Your needs may change with time, and that’s a good thing! If a family walk after dinner is cutting it too close to bedtime, try a family dance party or team up for a soccer shootout in the backyard.
