By Bri Ward

As a stay at home mom, at some point you are bound to feel bored, lonely, unappreciated and stressed. Sitting at home all day is bound to make you go insane at some point and after you've finished your daily chores, you're clueless as to what to do next. Finding something to do with the rest of your day is a major problem. I have for you a few suggestions that will help you keep yourself busy, occupied and also feel that void and make you feel accomplished once again.

Make Friends

Go to a park where you may find other stay at home moms and their kids. Start a conversation. Discuss your daily routines, trial and tribulations that are going on in your lives and your problems. This way you will have someone to talk to whenever you need them.

Join A Bookclub

Go to your local library, cafe, or research online where to find local bookclubs. Go to one of their meetings. You're sure to find it enlightening, relaxing, and enjoying. This will give you something to do after your daily chores and also when you're at home with the family and everyone's resting.

Start A Playgroup

Post ads in your local paper and also online. You can also chat with your friends from the park about bringing their kids over for a few playdates. You would be in charge of everything. This way you'll have your sense of accomplishment back because you have once again proven that you can organize more than just a refrigerator.

These are just a few suggestions on how to keep yourself busy during the day. Being a stay at home mom has its perks. So if you find yourself once again searching for something to do because you are about to lose it, just try one, two, or all of these suggestions. They're sure to help. I know because I use them myself.

Nice. As a stay at home mom to 3 boys. My world is just chaotic. I use to be this career woman who managed 16 people and now waiting on 3 boys just drives me nuts. What keeps me sane - hubpages! and Facebook.

one thing that really gets to me, is the whole "oh. so you dont work" thing. I try to remember, I dont get paid. Thats different. Just becuase the poop keeps coming and no one says "thank you"...just..."where are my socks?" and "why didnt you go to the dump today?" doesn't mean your not working. I try to shift my focus from what apprecation I get from others, to why I stay home. I try to stay focused on the fact that no matter what anyone says, I KNOW I am doing the right thing for my family. and clearly, hub pages is good for killing the time between meals.
