Attempting to get cute pictures of both girls toge Attempting to get cute pictures of both girls together: a series 🤪😂 I wanted to share some tips that no one ever told me or prepared me for with two kids, because I feel like they’re important & I wanna help another momma out 🫶🏻 1️⃣ don’t blame baby — I actually did hear about this one, and that it can be helpful for not building resentment. Instead of telling your older child “I can’t, I have to feed/change/put the baby to sleep,” you can say “I’ll set a timer for 5 minutes, then I can play” ⏰ 2️⃣ intentional, individual bedtimes — I learned this the hard way 😬 naps flow so much smoother when I put Lainey down first and can give Dolly 100% of my attention, and same thing for bedtime when Mason and I tag-team. 3️⃣ give your older child a task — they like to feel helpful & important! Some of Dolly’s jobs are to bring me blankets & burp cloths, throw diapers in the trash, grab toys for Lainey, etc. 🧸 4️⃣ car seat positions — NO ONE warned me about this 😂 but I kept my oldest behind my driver’s seat, that way we can load up on the passenger side (Dolly climbs across the seats) and put the baby carrier in the car, then I check Dolly’s seatbelt on my driver’s side before I get in. Same for unloading—it’s much safer than running circles around my car to get everyone buckled 👏🏻 5️⃣ a stroller handle — this is the best tool for busy parking lots! It’s just a leather strap you attach to your stroller or car seat for your toddler to hold onto while crossing the street or whatever. No need to stress about not having enough hands 🙌🏻 Mommas, tell me your best tips & secrets!
Thankful, grateful, blessed 🧡🤟🏻Happy Than Thankful, grateful, blessed 🧡🤟🏻Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🥧
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how easy i I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how easy it is to complain. 👇🏻 To quickly become ungrateful and dwell on how “hard” things are rather than finding the beauty in them. To play the victim card when things get tough, and look for sympathy rather than getting on my hands and knees before the Lord. Thank God for the gift of moments like these—giving me a different perspective to see life through the lens of thankfulness. May He continue to reveal the good in all things & all seasons. Tell me what you are thankful for today! 🧡
