Fun @ Home Mothers Day Activities

Hey Mamas 👋,

As we most likely will all be home this Mothers Day. I’m sharing some fun at home activities you can do with your children (or Mom) young or old, this Mothers Day. 

Mothers Day is a very bitter sweet day for me as I lost my mom before I became a mom and my grandmothers are now both deceased. So it’s even more important to me now to cherish the time and memories had with my mom & grandmothers while creating new memories & moments with my little ones. 

What’s your ideal Mother’s Day? Whatever it is I hope it’s a great one. 💜💐

To all those grieving the loss of a mother or child this Mothers Day, my heart is with you.💜💐

Vicks for Baby & Moms

It’s already cold and flu season and another baby essential that I have in my motherhood toolkit is everything Vicks! I really do believe that the big box retailers should carry a gift set of various Vicks products for new moms. This would make the perfect baby registry item. 

Until then, you can make your own Vicks gift basket for any expecting or new moms in your life and it can include:

For Baby

1. The Vicks Baby Rub - safe to rub on baby’s chest

2. The Vicks VapoSteam for use in any humidifier with a medicine tray that allows you to pour liquid Vicks in.

3. Vicks VapoPads for use in the Vicks Vaporizer

For Mom

4. Regular Vicks Rub for mom

5. Vicks inhalers for mom

6. Vicks cough drops for mom

My mom personally used Vicks on me, as a child struggling with nasal congestion, cold and flu, so I was pleased to know it’s one of the only safe things that an expecting mom  or new mom can use instead of medication when battling the cold and flu. 

What other Vicks products do you use in your motherhood toolkit?

                                             

Dorel Juvenile Safety 1st Complete Healthcare Kit - Spring Green

Healthcare and grooming for baby is a must so we had to get this Safety First kit that had all the things we were looking for at a really good price. it really is a convenient an must have kit for out of town trips. Our baby caught a cold while we were on Summer vacation and it was great to have everything in this go to pouch. We even added Vitamin D drops and and Tylenol to the pouch which came in very handy. 

We've seen many variations of the Safety First Kit on the market and it all boils down to the personal needs of the parent and child but it's definitely worth having one and customizing along the way.

What do you have in your baby's Safety or First Aid pouch?

Graco Children Graco Glider Lx with Plug, Waterloo

I personally knew (in my heart) that for a swing/glider it had to be the @graco Glider LX Waterloo. My nephew had the exact one as a baby and I had personal success getting him to take long naps in it. I have the memory of him being able to walk and still climbing into this glider to take a nap. Love the sound features on it and the fact that it can support bigger babies (up to 30 pds). Although it was a gift, we would still buy it if we had to because baby got a lot of mileage out of this one. 

Update: We ran into an issue where the sound feature started to short circuit on the swing. We were directed by Amazon to call Graco and it was such a great customer service experience and replacement process. Once I sent all the required information the new product was at my door within two days. 

What is your go to brand for a baby swing?
