Mom Hack
One stroke of pure mom-genius involves transforming a fitted sheet into a sand-free play zone at the beach.
Stake the corners with bags, coolers, or beach toys to create a barrier against the sand.
Add a few toys and snacks, and your little one can enjoy a mess-free space to play.
For added comfort, lay a picnic blanket or towel inside the sheet.
Bring a small umbrella or sunshade for extra protection from the sun, and keep a spray bottle of water handy to cool off hot little feet.

Featured Response 💬
“We are managing about once every 2 or 3 months right now. Between prep for the next day, house chores, night school, and trying to find a babysitter, it's been difficult to coordinate. But we try to take an hour for a show or board games every week or so in between other commitments.”
I totally get it; It's such a busy season of life! Finding time for even a little fun each week amidst the chaos is a win in my book. - Danielle 😊

Mash the bananas and mix them up with oats and peanut butter.
Evenly spread the dough in the dish, then sprinkle those nuts and chocolate chips.
