Another day, another lockdown!
We are Cara, CoCo And Mummy Adventures.
I'm Jo, a millennial homemaker navigating through 2020 with honestly..zero too little exceptions (You know that feeling?)
Thankfully the internet is at our finger tips and therefore we can live to tell another
day!
Can we be honest with each other for a minute?
Between, looking after the kids, cooking, cleaning and working, I'm certain of one thing...
"The struggle is real"
You go to bed tired and some how you wake up tired?
How does that even make sense?
Then a chunk of your day some how vanishes right before your eyes..You know that feeling?
If so, good news, read along...because this blog is just for you!
HOW TO ENTERTAIN THE KIDS AT HOME 101:
Now I love a bit of arts & crafts but sometimes, yes sometimes you need 30 minutes uninterrupted to just get things done.
I found some amazing "Baby And Toddler Classes" over the last couple of weeks that are all virtual of course and absolutely entertaining too.
FIRST TIME PARENTS: SOCIAL ASPECT:
Baby & toddler classes are a brilliant way to break the ice for new mums.
The struggle of getting your feet past the front door, especially as a first time parent can sometimes be very daunting.
The very thought of just leaving your house can often times literally give anxiety, I can totally relate to these emotions and I can remember my experience as clear day.
Two kids later and ever now & then those emotions kick in and I have to remind myself that "It's ok, you've got this" especially if it's a new class.
This week, you get to show up with your baby virtually!

Classes built on your baby's natural play-rest-play cycle to ensure they are not overstimulated.

All to equip children with the skills they need when they go to school, it is important for parents to sing nursery rhymes from an early age.
