A Typical Day In My Life || Creative Nonfiction Writing Prompt
Ever since my motherhood journey began, my typical day has taken a new shape from the way it was in my singlehood days. The Best thing that has happened to me since I became a stay-at mom is finding Hive(earning and at the same time playing my motherhood role). so basically the "cast of characters" that populate my daily life is my kids and of course the hive community.
The Event Of My Typical Day
Beep beep beep!!!, The sound of my alarm clock ⏰ rang, wake up! It's 5 am. I will forcefully open my eyes from the dreamland, say my morning prayers silently, and head straight to the kitchen to begin my daily duties. That early morning sleep is always sweet and refreshing but I don't get to enjoy it anymore except during the holiday; if I do, then my kids might miss their school bus.
I am the type of mom that loves preparing fresh food for the kids every morning before they leave for school. So to meet up with the school bus, I have to sacrifice my sleep and cook every morning instead of cooking overnight. Right there in the kitchen, I prepare breakfast and set aside, prepare lunch and have them packed in the kid's lunch bags. Then wake them up, get them set for school, serve them breakfast and they leave for school leaving behind my last baby who is yet to start school. The school bus leaves most days at exactly 7 am, while they are gone, I will fix my husband's breakfast and lunch too and he leaves to work by 7:30 am as well.
Daily laundry is my ritual especially early in the morning (with morning energy) when everyone has gone. Once I am done with laundry and other basic chores, I grab my phone and start hiving. Exploring different communities, reading from other authors, and writing mine as well and sometimes saving it in the draft if I am not ready to publish. I also spend some of my time on discord servers to connect with my hive friends. I give hive quality time daily unless something came along the line. I also have other side hustle I do apart from hive and I do well to give it attention before hiving for the day. I do all of these online activities while taking care of my last baby at home and at noon just before my older kids arrive from school, I try to have a nap.
By 4 pm, I will receive my older kids from the school bus. Get them refreshed and we begin any class assignment they brought home with them. I will guide them, pay much attention to what they are up to and correct them where necessary. This moment usually lasts up to 6:30 pm some days. So once I am done assisting them with homework, I will quickly clean whatever they took to the school and return to Hive blockchain. Hive becoming my second home...lol
I usually keep up with my activities in hive until hubby returns from work around 8: p.m. Then we have dinner together as a family, watch movies or cartoons together for a while, say our night prayers, and then to bed for our night's rest. This same event continues over and over unless by the weekend where things get altered a bit.
Overall, my day is usually filled up with activities both at home, in the hive, and on other social media like WhatsApp mainly where I interact with clients for other online businesses. It's usually a productive day for me and I will look forward to adjusting where possible for a better daily result 👌

I am seeing lots of responsibilities and you are managing them along with your other activities pretty well. That's why moms are always the best, the way they manage everything is beyond imagination. Best of luck !!
Thank you so much for your encouraging words here.
Many times, it baffles me too how I manage all of this
The sound of that alarm clock echoes with resonance throughout this piece. Yes, it’s important to be there for your family, to do the little things that count for so much. You’re a “real” mom, the kind of mom that everyone wishes they had. Keep up the good work. You’re amazing!
Awwwwwn 🥰

Hmmm.... I enjoyed this nonfiction post and I am inspired to make something too. Let me see the original post if I can participate too.
In fact, Hive is your home indeed and I love how you could manage your time as a mother. Motherhood and working online is always tough but I love how you timed yourself to achieving something great at the end of the day.
Smiles 🥰
You can say that again about hive being my home
I really do not know how I get all the grace to combine the two 😂
It's God anyway
Many thanks princess 💕💓🥰
Keeping up with hive activities which is your online working place and taking care of your kids it’s really a whole lot of work but I will say you are great and strong not letting any one of them affect the other and you always do both duties diligently and happy.
You are a good mother Nkem.
I am blushing 😄
Thank you so much mercy
I seek for more grace to continue
The work of a housewife is the most sacrificed and hard that a person can perform. Always my admiration for those warriors who work hard every day to have everything ready for when The family arrives.
Thank you for sharing your special day with us.
Good day.
There is indeed so much sacrifice and work being a stay at home mom but I can say that the grace has been there for me
I really appreciate your stopping by 👍🤗
Motherhood has never been easy, but with God's help you'll scale thru, I pray you enjoy the fruit of your labor.
Amen and Amen 🙏
Thank you so much 🥰
Hi, @nkemakonam89, reading your story, made me feel that it was me, the work of a housewife is invaluable.
Wow
It's indeed invaluable
It's my wish that we all live to eat the fruit of our labour
It's such a light read, and I am totally imagining your day as a mom.
I am sure your children are so lucky to have a super mom like you, likewise to your husband.
Hive becomes part of your daily routine as well. !PIZZA

Motherhood can be fun and stressful at the same time, honestly. But responsibilities is responsibilities.
I love the fact that you do something to earn a living, honestly. Many stay at home are just lazy and they spend their time gossiping and all.
You are really responsible, coping with your kids, your husband, hive, your other business and even your friends, it is amazing.
Your kids will be proud to have you.
Awwwwwn 🥰
I am blushing lizy
See how my head is swelling here 😂
That's a sweet word from u
Thank you so much ❤️

Congratulations on being a great mom and managing online work including Hive as well. Mom’s are master jugglers and it a very rewarding role. It is good that younger to rest midday - to be energized for the afternoon tasks.
Indeed a rare rewarding role
