How do you do it? Parenting Link Up #33

Skip to this week’s links | Skip to featured posts | Skip to linkup rules

Welcome to the How Do You Do It? parenting link up party. Here, you have an opportunity to share your posts with other parent bloggers and the followers of How Do You Do It? and What’s up Fagans?.

How Do You Do It? is a community of mothers of multiples that believes in supporting each other, in sharing our experiences and questions, in friendship, and in encouragement. The link up is open to all of our readers, whether you have multiples or not. It’s a place for you to share your wisdom, your favorite posts, your insights, with our online community here at HDYDI.

Each week, we pick some of our favorite posts and feature them the following week on our site! Plus, we pin them on Pinterest, tweet them on Twitter, and share them on Google+ and Facebook! Get some more exposure for your great content, and don’t forget to check out the featured posts from last week’s link up!

Plus, ldskatelyn of What’s up Fagans? co-hosts the party on her blog as well. One party on two blogs means double the exposure and community.

Each HDYDI parenting link up party accepts new links from Monday morning through Friday at noon.

So tell us: How do you handle conception, pregnancy, prematurity, birth, and postpartum recovery? How do you handle tantrums, diapering bills, stress, and potty training? How do you handle education and special needs? How do you balance the needs of several children with a marriage? How do you manage being a stay-at-home mom, a working mom, or a single parent? And how do you find time for yourself?

How do you do it?!

This week’s featured posts:

Thanks to all our linkers, whether you’re a regular or an occasional link up participant!

This week’s most clicked post was from Kathie of Fruitful Families. She wrote about 6 reasons mom lose their joy. Narrowing the list to 6 parts of your life that you can re-examine makes recapturing joy in your life a manageable project. Thank you, Kathie, for sharing your insights.

Link up host Katelyn of What’s Up Fagans wrote a thought-provoking post on a similar topic. She wrote about Mommy Me Time, acknowledging that it’s important, but challenging us to think about what we’re trying to get out of that time.

Herchel of Scruggbug Corner provided some very practical interview tips for SAHMs looking to reenter the workforce. Her advice rang very true to me, with 8 years of working motherhood under my belt. The two pieces of advice that really stood out were to never apologize for choosing to stay home with your children, and to hold yourself to the same standards as other interviewees who have been in the workforce more recently than you have.

If you’re looking for an inspired activity for your little ones, check out this Arctic Small World post from My Big Fat Happy Life‘s Paris. She put together some ice blocks, water, and arctic-themed small toys as encouragement for creative play.
