Rest, work, repeat… that’s the life of a single parent. Do you ever feel so exhausted that certain household things have to be put on hold? Well, that’s the daily struggle.

Where do you draw the line between getting enough rest and making sure you can keep your house in order.

Life is a balance, I have to constantly remind myself to take breaks and appreciate the hard work that I’m doing.

Right now, I have a lot of my plate. I’m in University studying, working a two or three days a week, have a number of appointments for my daughter’s health condition, and taking care of my children.

It feels busy, and some days, I’m incredibly exhausted. I have to remind myself to take breaks. If that means sitting on the couch and typing up a blog post, making an Instagram reel, or simply watching Netflix.

I’ll put my household duties on hold while I take some time for myself. I can’t stress how important self-care is for a single parent.

When I have enough energy to get back to my household chores, I will do them.

Hope you’re taking some time for yourself too!
