Hey Mamas - Our kids' toys are totally gross

Published over 1 year ago • 5 min read

Hey mamas!

Happy New Year! Yay, to making it through the holidays, travel, and all the stress that December seems to bring. Personally, I feel like it’s taken me the last couple of weeks just to settle back into reality. Our tree finally came down along with the rest of our Christmas decorations. All of Libby's new toys have been broken in and put away. And, a resolve to make up for all the holiday indulging has officially taken hold. In short, January has finally found its footing and its starting to feel good.

At this time of year many of you are likely tuning into your goals and making plans for self-improvement. I too hope to get there…. But maybe give me a few weeks ; ). In the meantime, I can proudly say that I’ve committed to thinking up and sourcing more hacks for making this mom job a little easier. As we’ve phased into the toddler years, it feels like my arsenal of parenting hacks has become fully loaded and I’m looking forward to continuing to share.

This month I want to pass along a few thoughts and tips that will help you start your year on the right track. Consider these starter ideas and resources for living a healthier, and maybe a little happier, in 2023.

Hey mamas! This month we’re mixing it up a bit. Instead of delivering tips for taking care of your littles, I wanted to make this newsletter all about you. We’re a couple of weeks out from Mother’s Day which means there is still plenty of time to prepare. This newsletter is all about making sure you get the day you deserve. Growing up my mom considered Mother’s Day the highest of holidays. We always did something to celebrate. Admittedly, I never really understood how she could rank MD above...

Hey mamas! Happy March! How are y’all? Does anyone else feel like this year is already starting to fly by?! We are 2 months out from welcoming our second baby and I cannot fathom where the time has gone. I’m always looking to my community of moms for recommendations on what topics to cover that would be the most helpful. Which car seats and strollers we own and why we chose them is one of those topics I get asked about on repeat. These purchases have been some of my most fraught as a new mom....
