Tips to surviving toddlers!

There are many ways and reasons why moms go crazy day in and day out when dealing with toddlers. A lot of people, when we engage in conversation, the first thing they ask is how I do it.

  2. Keep the menu consistent. Seriously don’t try to introduce new foods unless you are willing to fight the fight. During dinner time I just want them to be fed.
  3. Don’t stress about the toys. You have kids. Let them be. It’s hard and takes time but being OCD about cleaning the toys every 10 minutes is NOT going to help you. Quite the opposite, it will tire you out and stress you more. Let it go.
  4. Pick your battles. I don’t force outfits or meals. Not because I’m not parenting, but because in all seriousness I don’t have the energy to argue with a 3-year-old about which shoes to wear.
  5. Find a hobby. An outlet. Mine is coffee dates with my mom friends, or Target runs.
  6. Your kid is not going to die because he licked his hands at the playground. Sanitize when you get home.
  7. RELAX. This too shall pass.

My reality
