You’re a good mom 💗

May 27

I don’t know if anyone else has been as surprised as I am by this — specifically moms who had a boy after having a girl (or girls) — but there really is something about little boys. He’s SO sweet and I turn into a puddle every time I see him.

All day it’s “I wu woo mommy” “thank you mommy” and snuggles and kisses. The way he holds my hand or puts his head on my shoulder. And never in a million years did I think I’d know the names of every single car from Cars 1-3.

And I just shared a few sale finds in stories, but wanted to mention that most of the lighting and rugs in our home are 20% off for MDW. Everything’s linked on my blog.

IT’S A BACKPACK!!

I’m taking my girls to California next month and need a stroller for @disneyland. 🎉 This is my first time traveling solo with 2 kids, and I wanted something easier than our current double. @zoestrollers sent me their lightweight double to test and 🤯 it’s amazing!

It’s 5 lbs lighter, easier to fold, has a HUGE basket, is Disney approved, and I don’t have to remove the wheels to put it in the stroller bag which is also a BACKPACK so getting through the airport in my own with 2 kids and to our rental car is going to be MUCH easier! And it’s just a little over $500 which is a great price for a double stroller!

Comment STROLLER and I’ll send you a link to our stroller and $15 off your order. #travelstroller #doublestroller #stroller #mom #disney #disneyland #travel #travelwithkids

Let’s unpack these.

Kids are little and nighttime separation is hard for some of them. If my kids need me, or if they’re sick, they get to sleep in my bed.

My kids have never had a time out. I’ve given them time to calm down and if they want space it’s theirs, but I’ve never forced them to be alone as a result of their behavior.

I was short with my daughter the other day and apologized immediately. She said she was sorry and that she shouldn’t have not listened so I wouldn’t have been upset. We had a great talk about how listening is great, but I could have stepped outside the room, taken a deep breath etc. I didn’t control my reaction, and that’s not on her.

I have three kids. And they get to watch TV. We *try* to do no screen time on school nights, but do movie nights and morning cartoons on weekends. iPads are not kept out and they typically don’t get to use them at home unless they’re sick.

I won’t send my kids to bed hungry. If they want a snack after dinner, they can have a cheese stick and some fruit.

I’ve definitely incentivized (“bribed”) them to try new foods but never force them if they really don’t want to try something. We have also been through a LOT with food/eating so I’m careful with this one. It’s stressful.

My girls got their nails done and my 2 year-old son asked for blue toes, so I painted his toes. The following week he asked for pink toes, and he got them.

This is IMO one of the cringiest things adults can do to little kids, but I have never called a friend a “boyfriend” or “girlfriend” and while we’re at it, I will say “IF you grow up and get married” or “if you decide to be a parent” and just reference the person they marry without assuming who that person is.

I’m sure there’s more but these were what came to mind. What’s on your list? And what on this list ISN’T on your list?
