The path to motherhood is full of swings, sometimes up and at other times it is a complete down swing. Nurturing self-passion, along with raising a creative child can be quite daunting yet fulfilling task when seen through a mums eye. And the same has been applicable to me from past 3 years. Since then, I have been juggling up managing my office, home and my son. Indeed I felt that my passion was somehow being lost and the wind was harsh enough to sway them away from me. But, I soon took up my passion seriously and then this life got me into an exciting world, not full of roses, but with beautiful encounters with the nature and world.
While sailing in this journey amidst the waves, there were still many things, I felt could be improved to ease up the life. I wanted to hear more podcasts and more soulful music. I wished to grab up the solo backpaking with my son. There was something in me asking me to devote a 100% dedicated time when I was playing with my son. The “Blogger & Social media” work was getting somewhat “obstructive”. And, it was soon that I was looking out for some solutions to my mommy-hood. Real life creative solutions to help me engage more effectively.
And let me tell you dear world, this solution is in the form of Bose Quiet comfort 35 headphone II, innovated to make life more easy!
1. During my Kitchen time :
As the cooker whistled and the veggies cooked, as the shouts from the dining room thundered out for food, I could have never thought earlier how to make this time more constructive. I never thought that I could have listened to my favourite Parenting & Humour Pods, Soulful music and sometimes even chat amidst these whistles. Bose headphones with their Acoustic Noise Cancelling technology along with hands free option, made this possible and I had some more time for myself. This was indeed a beautiful surprise and a help to mama.
2. While Solo backpacking :
I’m bitten by a travel bug and I need to accept this fact. So what if my hubby has to travel so more due to his official commitments? Now, its me and my pre schooler, who love to catch some short weekend getaways to refresh ourselves in the nature. What we love together is hiking, running in the grasslands, and going crazy exploring new places and routes. For all this while, my hands have to be free to hold my little man.
GPA seems to be a promising technology leap for us, which can enable us for many things without even touching the phone’s screen. And thus navigation for this solo backpacker became easier. With directions & messages flowing in the ear, there was no need to engage my hand. It was time to hear, follow , laugh, smile and hug my munchkin. It was a time to be free and celebrate this freedom.
3. Ideation with child in the lap :
That’s I really hate about myself. As the neon light glows in the dark, my magical brain starts working when its dark. And most of the time, my neon- ideation light starts when my child in yet in my lap or has slept hugging me. Gone were those days, when I could just hope, to somehow jot down my thoughts, until they were erased soon the next morning. Bose, text to speech technology has been saviour to me. Now, I can manage my ideation as texts all with my voice itself. I just need to press and hold the action button and Google Assistant is ready to follow my commands. My memory got more healthier with clearing backlogs.
4. Sorting puzzles un-hindered :
Ahh, that seemed painful to hear, mama, pls keep your phone aside and look how I fly my helicopter. Though I tried my best but the notifications do distract the healthy play, be it just for a minute only. I feel blessed with Bose headphones for being too comfy and luxurious here. The ear cushions feel very light and their GA technology keep me hassle free and my hands are engaged with my child’s lego play.
5. SAHM – Work and engage :
Is the house a playground? Yes, it is, and I really don’t expect my child not to make it messy. That’s what kids are for, i cannot expect myself to spill things all around and still smile. But then, when it is a work time, those shrieks, thrills, sudden laughs and cries, does deviate. It’s then when this SAHM needs these headphones, to take up the calls and crack the deals with amazing clarity of sound and noise cancellation technology. Further, switching between these tasks daily, it was a hell to put my my phone for charging every few hours. With their 20 hour battery life and wireless connectivity to other devices, they’ve become my recent hack!
So what do you feel mama’s? I think, I’m loving my new addiction as it has got me more closer to my baby and my work as well. Bose Quiet comfort 35 headphone II, has been my recent motherhood hack! What about you?

I have yet to own a pair of Bose headphones. I know Bose is a great brand though!! I’m still working on a wireless pair as well.
I feel you on the solo travel bug. I’ve been doing it for years. Hiking and being outdoors with your little one sounds like such a fun time though. Keep rocking! http://www.aniatravels.com
the bose headphones are a great pair to use! my mom owns a pair, so it is reliable and accessible at all times.
i havent seen any reviews on these, so thanks for being honest! i might need a pair
I can see how technology and childcare can merge and help each other in many situations. Its great that there are so many hands free gadgets out there to make it easier to multi task and still be there for your child.
This is great! It is a great feeling when you find something that can help you work, find time for yourself, and still get things done! I don’t have these headphones but I LOVE my Bose wireless bluetooth speaker! My household fills with music and my whole family loves it!
Great review, I am user of one pair and I can say until now this set is serving me well. Once its retired I’m gonna get a new one.
I love all of their products, such amazing quality! I need to grab some of these for sure!
Oooo now these sound like some pretty seeet headphones!!!! I need a new pair before spring break! This might just be the pair
Whenever I wear headphones, for some weird reason I feel this claustrophobia coming on lol. So because of that I haven’t used any in a while. BUT…. these ones definitely sound like a godsend, especially for an overworked mommy!! I may just have to give it a go and try them out. Thank you for the idea!
These are exactly what I have been needing these days! I love my kids but boy are they loud! LOL
I have their earphones version of the quiet series and it works wonders specially when I travel long haul flights. I am planning to get the headphones soon because it has proven to be of quality brand.
Great review. It is a beautiful gift for a mommy to be. I liked features especially.
I’m not a mom, nor am I a dad. However, I have to agree that these headphones are great for drowning out a lot of noise. I plan to travel soon, living full time in my van for probably 2-4 years while I save up a little money for a rainy day.
Just please yourself a favor and ensure you always keep an eye on your kids when wearing these headphones. If for some reason the kid is choking, you may not even notice. So if you do wear them, wear them responsibly.
Take care.
