A Crunchy Mom’s Guide to Kid’s Bath Time
I know you’re probably thinking, “bath time is easy, I don’t need anyone explaining it to me.” BUT I want to share a few things that I’ve learned since becoming a mom so that you can create a healthy space for yourself and your littles.

Back to School: Lunch Prep
BACK TO SCHOOL IS HERE! Some of us have already started but some of us are not starting until next week. Either way, it’s here and I don’t know about you but I am super excited and so are my littles.

I don’t buy my children new backpacks every year, I’ve found that a high quality one will last them a few years. They do get a new lunchbox every year.

Mommin’ Made Easy with the Baby Delight Playpen + G I V E A W A Y
This post is in partner with Baby Delight. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information. As a mom of four, I am often told: “Man, I just don’t know how you do it with all those kids.” It’s something that makes me smile and also makes me shake my head at the same time. I don’t claim to be that “perfect mom” who has her whole life together. Most days are struggle bus central but the real truth about navigating motherhood is that every day is different, it’s not always easy and its never perfect. I have four children at four very…
