How to Survive Living in a house full of boys



Living in a house full of boys is very energetic and borderline crazy i have found. Between my hubby's crazy work schedule and his hobbies plus having two little boys that seem to never stop it can be hard to get some time to be a women. I feel like now all my life is made of is superhero's and semi trucks. I do love my boys (big and small) and without them i don't know what i would do, but i do like having time to be a girl. 

I love doing my hair and playing with makeup. I love pink everything and you can't forget about sparkles. I have found that every night after my littles have gone to bed and my hubby is at work i just have to sit back and relax. I take a hot shower and light a candle or two. I do a face mask or use a new scrub. Afterwards i read a chapter in a book i started and sip on some wine or i watch a YouTube video from one of my favorite beauty guru's. I just have to take a moment to step back from all of the lego's and teenage mutant turtles and have some "girl" time. 

Thankfully i have a very supportive husband who understands that i'm a girly girl at heart and helps me with all of the boy stuff. All of us like to get down and dirty while working on a car or running around at the park playing ball. I love being able to learn a little about being a "tom boy". Then at the end of the day i get to be my girly self all over again.

The key to being the only female in a house full of boys is making sure you set aside the time to be just that; a girl! Whether you get to lock yourself in your bedroom for an hour while the boys are sleeping to paint your toes barbie pink. Or soak in the tub with candles lit while your hubby is mowing the lawn. The little 15 minutes we get to ourselves we have to remember to enjoy them and make the best out of them. Even if that means you get a 30 minute dance party with N'Sync while you are mopping your floors. 

You have to appreciate every moment you get to have while your winged eyeliner is perfect because you never know when you will have a mud pie thrown in your face!

Comment below some things you do to make time to be girly!
