How to: Balance your Bucket List with Childcare

How to: Balance your Bucket List with Childcare

The clock is always ticking and the hands of time never stop. While those hands quickly revolve around the clock-face, your job as a vacationer is to squeeze as many experiences into your limited time on Earth.

Walter Pater, the essayist, said that there is only one chance. He suggested expanding the interval to get as many pulses as possible. There are no enough hours in a day. It's your job, however, to make the most of what time you do have.

It can feel like your life is more limited when a child comes into your home.

However, this is not the case in these times when even the most lofty of dreams can be achieved with a click of a button.

Let's show you how even if you have to take care of childcare, you can still make the most out of your time and achieve your lifelong dreams.

Goal 1: Get a degree
It takes years to earn a degree. You must dedicate your time to learning a skill if you want to truly master it.

Modern technology makes it easier to be dedicated. It doesn't need to involve endless trips to distant campuses.

ARU Distance Learning, a provider of distance education, allows you to study when it suits you. You can do revisions while your baby is asleep or while you commute by using your smartphone.

While distance learning may be more expensive than in-person, it is still highly effective. It is highly recommended.

Goal Two: Run A Marathon
Young parents can still stay fit after the exhausting fatigue that comes with raising children.

Do you dream of running a marathon? Training with your child is possible.

Baby strollers that are specifically designed for running can be purchased by many stockists. They come with extra padding to prevent your child from being bounced around while you run.

Specialists recommend that children not accompany you on runs for at least one year. This means you may need to wait before you can beat your personal best.

Goal 3: Read great literature
You can inhale books as if they were oxygen. There's no reason for childcare to get in the way.

After your baby is asleep, take some time to brew a cup of coffee, relax, and read a book.

If you are looking for a challenge, start your reading journey with some of the greatest authors. Moby Dick, Crime and Punishment and The Handmaid's Tale are all classics and should be read at least once a year.

Sizing Chart

Since every baby grows at his/her own pace, measure the baby's height for the best fit. It is much more accurate than going off of the baby's age. Call us with any questions and we will be happy to help you determine the best fit for your baby.
