Mom Hack
When sickness strikes or spit-ups are constant, try this crib hack to save time (and sanity!).
Layer a waterproof sheet, then a regular sheet, followed by another waterproof and regular sheet on top.
If there's a mess, just peel off the top two layers, leaving a clean bed underneath. No fuss, no extra laundry!

Pregnancy, postpartum, low energy, tummy troubles, or just eating better without a big overhaul.

“I take workout and ballet classes for 5 hours a week and my husband has the kids while I do that. It’s important to me to have that space to take care of myself distraction-free. ”
I love that you’ve made this a priority, and ballet classes sound like such a fun way to get some time just for you! -Danielle 😊
