Mom Hack
Little ones inevitably need an ice pack now and then.
Here's a fun twist - a marshmallow ice pack!
It's softer, moldable, and somehow less scary.
Just fill a ziplock with marshmallows, pop it in the freezer, and voila! An ice pack that's kid-friendly. 😊

“Books are part of our daily lives. Books at mealtime, audio stories in the TV and in the car, and books at bedtime. We do our best to incorporate reading into every facet of our lives.”
I love this so much, it really sounds like books are just part of your everyday flow, and that kind of constant exposure is such a gift you’re giving your kids without it ever feeling forced. -Danielle 😊
