One of my FAVORITES in the days before owning a daycare...When I was a stay at home mom and not running a daycare I did NOT get out of bed until my kids did!;) (I love sleep which is not good because I get very little of it these days) Anyways, I always found it impossible to shower, do my hair and get makeup on before the kids were up. (My hair takes over 30 minutes to dry...It's insane thick and I pretty much despise it) So I typically would do my hair first and then have NO time to put makeup on, and lets just say, I needed the makeup. I also heard a lot of other moms with this same dilemma. I promised myself when I had kids, I would still do the best I could to take care of ME (easier said then done with 4 kids under 5;))So, I quickly learned a new method. I would get ready the best I could, load the kids up in the car and sit in my driveway to put my makeup on. If you have a long makeup routine it wont work well, however most moms I know have perfected a quick 5-10 minute makeup routine when need be!;) It works great because everyone is confined, happily reading a book, watching a dvd or listening to music, and I get the great light to put my makeup on.:) Now a days, I open a daycare up at 6:30am so I am up before the sun, in the old days though, this was a lifesaver! Funny thing is, half the time when I loaded them up, I had nowhere to be at that time, just felt like calming them and getting ready in peace, so we would make a trip for mommy to get a coffee!:)
So there you have it, a simple way to look pretty and know your kids are not getting into trouble in the other end of the house while you do it!:)
