My husband and I have several children, and the people I was with and I are lucky enough to travel with them and take them on trips pretty often.
When the people I was with and I are home, it can be quite chaotic though.
I try to incorporate anything in the home that will make our life a little more calm. One addition that has been surprisingly helpful is our SMART temperature control. Our SMART temperature control is programmable and allows us to set the temperature when the people I was with and I are away traveling. The people I was with and I care about to program the temperature control so that the home is set to our liking when the people I was with and I are arriving back home. Our kids care about the home at peculiar temperatures, so the people I was with and I have our temperature control set to accommodate all of their needs at peculiar times of the afternoon. However, that can be extravagant, so the temperature control will absolutely let us think when the program is less efficient and provides us with solutions to help us remedy our needs while preserving as much energy as possible. Because the temperature control comes with an app, it’s helpful to be able to control everything and receive notifications directly to my PC so I can keep myself in the loop even when I am away. I would command a SMART temperature control to all families because it takes so much stress away from me. I love my family so much and wouldn’t trade them for the world, however this parenting thing is entirely challenging! I’m always decreasing things and rereading how to do something. My kids are always questioning things and causing myself and others to switch up. It’s enjoyable to change though.
