Five kids and many years of trying all the things has given me lots of insight on getting your toddlers to nap.

Whenever their bath time occurs, I know I’m in for lots of bubbles and lots of giggles! Bath time isn’t only fun…

Why I Keep A “Mom Survival” Bag In My Car
This post is in partner with Shop Hannah Bee’s. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. Have you ever gotten in the car, left the house and heard “mom, I need ______!” and “______” is something you don’t have? It has happened to me more times than I can count. As a mom of five, there is always SOMETHING to be brought with us when we leave our house. Trying to rally 5 kids to leave the house more than likely also causes me to forget things…. which isn’t the best when you decide to leave the safe net of your own…
