Helpful Tricks

Having A Rough Day?!

On days where one or both of us is having a hard day, I find it best to get outside. Being outside is like hitting the reset button on the day. I have talked to other mamas and they say the same thing.

Sit in the grass or dirt.

The old saying goes: A little dirt never hurt.

...maybe it made it all better?!?!

Repeat It Back To Them

My favorite avoid-a-meltdown tip is to repeat back to the kid what they are about to meltdown over. For example, "you want to keep playing?" they will say yes...but they are now listening to you! This has saved me so many times because now they are quiet, they know I understand them and I can explain to them why we can keep playing because it's time to leave.

Doesn't work 100% of the time, but it's saved us so many times and has built a trusting relationship with my kiddos.

Create A Strong Routine

Create a strong morning and evening routine. The little ones feel safe because they know what is coming.

Bonus, when you have a routine and not a schedule it doesn't matter if you lay them down for the night at 7pm or 9pm. They know the routine and know what's coming...bedtime!

Bell Peppers

A little life hack I’m grateful my mom showed me.

It’s a way to save money and time...and I’m all about that life.

When you buy bell peppers...you can pre-chop them and then freeze them so that meal prep goes faster. Or if you bought peppers and aren’t going to use them all before they go bad 🙋 You can chop them up and freeze them before they go bad.

PS. This trick works with onions too.
