Habits, those little things that we do and don't even realize we are doing them. We all have habits, I like to think that I, as well as most people, have a more good habits than bad. Some of my personal good habits include waking up before my daughter, preparing breakfast daily, and using a planner to plan our days.
Good habits are necessary for all moms especially stay at home moms. It's so easy for us to fall into bad habits, I wrote about a few HERE. I wanted to share a few habits that are good to embrace whether you are a stay at home mom or not.
Planning playdates - One of my best SAHM habits is planning playdates and meetups with other moms! I adore getting together with my mom friends, it makes everyday mom life seem less mundane. Most of the mom friends that I have, I met them at a meetup or just struck up a conversation at the playground. I have even met mom friends through Facebook groups. Usually I will text my friends a few days in advance about getting together or I'll even plan larger meetups through Facebook groups. I like to keep playdates simple, by meeting at a playground, the library, splash pad, or every now and then, at someone's home. A planner is a good way to keep track of your playdates. Playdates are fun, not just for the children, but for the moms as well. Good habits are necessary for all moms especially stay at home moms.

One of her favorite toys is her easel. Sometimes, we will head to a local art museum to do crafts.
Daily reading - Reading is one of the best things you can do for yourself and your child. We set a small goal to read at least 5 books a day. Reading helps with brain development, is wonderful for bonding, and what child doesn't love reading! I like to read for myself at night before bed. Sometimes I'll read when I wake up in the morning. I prefer an audio book if I am reading in the morning. I also set a goal for myself of reading 1 book a month.
