While doing the research for this blog, Easy Halloween Crafts for Kids While You’re Working, I came across this comical blogpost from Momtrovert Creative:
“My days consist of waking up to a 2-year-old climbing on my face. I spend 4 hours between breakfast and nap attempting to do all the things, while also keeping the kids alive. We’re talking do the dishes, fold the laundry, pay the bills, schedule the appointments, write the grocery list, do the grocery shopping, vacuum the living room, feed the dogs, make note of every play date and snack helper day and birthday party. All while entertaining my children.
At noon, I drop my older daughter off at preschool and put the little one down to nap. I then have two solid hours to work on my business and kick some butt before preschool pickup. When the insanity starts all over again. But most days I collapse in a heap on my couch for those two hours and binge-watch Supernatural instead of doing anything work-related. Sound familiar?
Being a #momboss looks awesome on social media, but the reality of it is hard. We talk all about self-care and time-blocking hacks for productivity. But when you have two littles at home clamoring for your attention, all that goes out the window. You know what doesn’t go out that window? Deadlines, y’all. Freaking deadlines don’t wait for anyone, especially not a parent trying to keep their sanity.”
I can laugh now because my children have long since grown into middle-aged adults. I can also relate – and sympathize. Especially during this time of year when they’re all hyped up on the excitement of Halloween approaching. It’s right around the corner, y’all!
To help regain some semblance of sanity, here are some easy Halloween crafts (with links) that most kids can do without much supervision. If you have older kids, have them – or Grandma – help the little ones when they get home from school.
