A few weeks ago my two year old started crying about something small. My husband was home and I heard him in the other room talking Walker through his meltdown. The crying stopped quickly and a few minutes later I heard Walker yelling (in a surprisingly happy voice), "I feel strong!" He came in and repeated what his dad had...
. Those first few months of pregnancy can be tough for so many reasons. Believe me, I know! Nausea, hormones and exhaustion are just a few of the reasons that make it tough to get up and get out of the house every single day. This pregnancy I made a few really great purchases my first trimester that helped me make it through comfortably, and gave me something to look forward to wearing when I felt too sick to shimmy into my skinny jeans. Here's my list:
. Because as a mom in the twenty first century, that IS the question, right? I often think about how lucky we are to live at a time when if women choose to work while raising their children, there are hundreds of different types of work they can do from home, remotely, and at varying degrees of commitment to their profession. The gift of the Internet has granted families flexibility that we are incredibly lucky to have. Growing up I didn't ever think that I would work, or ever run a company from home. These have been developments that have come over time. Although I don't think there is one perfect situation that fits every family, I do think there is a perfect situation for every family. What will work for your family will come as you and your partner spend time considering your family's needs, personally and together. Here are three steps we have taken to make the decision in our home on how we will create a work life balance:.
. At our house bedtime is probably a lot like yours. Extremely exhausting, really sweet and some of the best moments of the day. After dinner and riding bikes around the neighborhood we take baths, read stories, sing songs and then do a long bedtime negotiation that involves, "One more story, one more trip to the bathroom, one more song, just one more kiss." As a parent, bedtime can feel long and tiring but it can also be such a sweet time when we can wash off the worries of the day and get ready for the excitement of tomorrow.
. Sometimes I can’t remember what really makes me happy, what I really want to accomplish in life, and what I’m working towards. I mean, I'm a mom, wife, business owner, and so you think those titles would be enough to keep me satisfied, but sometimes during the day to day quiet moments I start to feel crazy, like "What am I doing with my life?" Do you ever do that?.

<meta charset="utf-8" /> . Our Tubby Todd Dream Cream is a thick body butter that is even heavier and more moisturizing than our everyday Lavender Lotion. It smells fresh and lightly minty, and rubs on pretty much like a dream! . Like all Tubby Todd bath products, our Dream Cream is natural and plant-based. It is made with almond, peppermint, spearmint, lime, and orange peel oils. Some of my other favorite ingredients are the aloe leaf juice, shea butter, and cocoa butter. . In our home, we use it to help soothe dry hands, feet, and rough skin. .
. After months of a consistent sleep schedule, last week I totally blew it. Our new products just came out and I've felt extra anxious about it. So to compensate, I have been staying up late and wasting time watching TV or working on useless projects. As a result my body, work, house, and family have suffered. . One of the most valuable things a mom can do to show love to her family is to make being well rested a priority.
. Hooray! You can now find all of our Tubby Todd products at The Baby Cubby in Lindon, UT. And we threw a Pop-Up Party to celebrate!
. “If we can share our story with someone who responds with empathy and understanding, shame can't survive.” - Brene Brown, Daring Greatly . A few months ago I was at the gym picking my kids up from daycare. A women I've talked with a few times while on the treadmill came in to pick up her son after being called on the intercom. She was in the middle of potty training him and during his time in the daycare he had taken his pants down and peed in the corner of the gym play place. Every moms nightmare, right?.
