Time-Saving Tips For Tied-Up Mamas
Busy bees have got nothing on mothers. There are not enough hours in the day or hands in the house for most mamas to accomplish all of her tasks. While she can't magically add another 60 minutes to her day, she can make it feel like she did with a few of these easy time-saving tips.
Get Your Kid Fired Up For the Potty
Nobody is more excited for baby to get out of diapers than mommy, but the trick may be getting the child even more fired up for the milestone. Though the poop dance and clapping shed light on the importance of peeing in the toilet, getting tots involved in the potty-training process can be the ultimate motivator. It is much easier to convince children to ditch the diapers when their mama has included them in the shopping and decision making.
Things to Make Mom Smile
Try as we might, moms know that sometimes we just can't do it all. That's why we get by with a little help from some rad baby and mommy products. For starters, I'll buy just about anything that promises to make me rest well so that my parenting capabilities are top notch every morning.

PishPosh Mommy Pack For Practical Mamas
Move over diaper cream and pacifiers — this is mama's bag! Stubborn ladies who are bent on slinging their sassy totes around rather than standard diaper bags will love the idea behind the $45 PishPosh Mommy insert.
Instead of stashing a bottle in the pocket of a swanky designer bag and risking spilled milk on pricey polished leather, the PishPosh pouch holds all of babe's necessities and zips up to easily fit into most totes so moms can pull or pack it when they see fit.
Feeding Journals to Track Baby's Every Move
Truth be told, my husband and I tracked our kids' feeding and diaper changes on a scrap of paper for about a day before the sleep deprivation kicked in and all we wanted to do was stare at our new bundles of joy. I'm not the perfect mother, so I understand why other women and men take the task more seriously. Perhaps five years of parenthood has us more organized to take on this task for baby number three.
