SUNCREAM!

Who hates applying suncream? ME!!!! I can't stand the stuff, but as the 'responsible parent 😜' I make sure my little cubs have suncream on each day before the leave the house during the summer months.

I find the easiest way to apply suncream to their face, without it going in their eyes 🙄or they fall over whilst you're trying to rub the thick, nasty cream in🤦‍♀️, is to get them to turn around and have their back to you....

Sound strange?

You may not be able to see what your doing, but the suncream goes on so much easier with your body behind there's and makes it MUCH easier to rub in.

Or you can use a make-up sponge....

Enjoy 👍

😮 WASHING ....Does that word send shivers down your spine?

Its the never ending Mount Washmore that gets me...

Set your washing on 6 out of 7 days per week to save it from piling up

❤️ Special people ❤️

Teach kids young the value of cleaning up... and get them to do it willingly.

Kids love to make a huge mess and walk away to leave the mess for someone else to clean....its time to teach them how to help clean up after themselves.

Plus its one less thing for us Mama's to do - Bonus!

How fun is teething?

Sleepless nights, growly, clingy bubs and lotsa drooling.

Luckily for us there are heaps of awesome teethers out there to help ease the pain and apply pressure to those tender gums for our little cubs.

Always make sure your teethers are made from safe materials like these 100% food grade silicone from Mini & Boo.

They come in a range of shapes and designs to all bubs.
Check them out here and hang in there mama.

The early years can be brutal with sleep dep and being needed 24/7.

On a level of 1-10, where's your energy at today Mama's?

1 being the pigeon, 10 = as energised as your toddler

I hope it's well above a 5 for you 😍
