I am a work-at-home mom with a nine-month old daughter who has been keeping me EXTREMELY busy lately...resulting in mandatory binge writing sessions to keep up with my schedule.
I think we've finally settled into a morning routine that keeps us both happy... I get up at 5:30 to walk for 60 minutes, get back and feed the baby breakfast IMMEDIATELY upon her waking up (breakfast is without fail a bottle followed by a handful of cereal followed by some sort of pureed fruit out of a tub. Preferably Frozen will be playing on the TV at this time.), then she runs around the house in her walker for about an hour, and finally she MUST be down for a nap by 9:30. It seems that if we can hit this routine in the mornings, our days go so much more smoothly than they do when we don't. I'm more productive and she's much happier.
Do any of you other writer-parents have any tips, tricks, or routines that make your days easier and more productive??
