20 Ways to Keep Your Kids Occupied Without Using Technology

Hey lovely. It's Thursday!

Let me tell you. This episode couldn't have come at a better time. I had to test my own methods over the past few days since we had a holiday, then a snow day, then a short day... like... are... you... serious....?

I love my kids. I am obsessed with their littles lives and snuggles and cuddles, and teaching them, and playing with them, and... you get it. 

But here is the truth: I am also obsessed with empowering women, achieving my greatest calling, having a tidy home, being healthy, having me time. I am a woman of many colors, ya feel me?

It's flipping HARD to 'do it all' when you have young children. My boys are 5 and 2 so they need (or want) a lot of attention. They get bored. They make messes. They fight. They are growing and experimenting and pushing boundaries and let's face it -- that pulls a lot of energy from mama. Amiiright?

Confession: I found myself handing them the iPad and turning on the TV a little too often. Okay, way too often. My guilt was legit and I knew I needed another way to keep them busy so I could work, clean... even pee in peace.

I polled a lot (and I mean A LOT) of mompreneurs in our community and there were SO many amazing ideas! I put a massive list together and tested these theories. Amazingly, I was able to reduce their screen time while noticing a big improvement in their behavior over the course of a week!

Happy mama dance! I knew that if I was dealing with this, you probably were too, so I packaged it up and recorded this episode for you. xoxo.
Here are the top 20 ways to keep your kids occupied and happy while you do whatever ya need to do. Ready to win the mama of the year award? 

Spring break is fast approaching... do you struggle with keepings your kids occupied while you try and work, clean, pee... in peace? Feel guilty for handing them the iPads or turning on the TV a little too often?

I decided that too much screen time was happening at my house, and it was my fault. I also decided that there had to be another way to keep my littles busy and having fun while I got in my focus time. I polled all of the mompreneurs in our community and here were the top 20 ways to keep your kiddos busy...

Without using technology! Huge win. Check it out and share it with another mama that needs her sanity back.

I hope you enjoy.
Love and light,
Stef

HOW TO START A PODCAST!

---

I launched my podcast in 2018 after searching for a way to scale my coaching business and grow my following in a faster, more authentic way. I decided on podcasting because I have kids (aka. video isn't my jam), and because audio is growing insanely fast and I saw an emerging trend. Last, because committing to a podcast was my way of showing up consistently and dedicating myself to my mission.

What has podcasting done for my business? Well, my podcast grew my revenue by over 98%! My community has grown by thousands and it has allowed me to touch more people than I ever could have imagined.

I have now helped MANY other women (just like YOU) launch top rated podcasts. Many of them have ranked in the top #30 because of my effective launch strategy! If you want to have a show that STANDS out and grows your business, brand, and mission here on Earth - come check out my proven program.
