Making Life as a Parent So Much Smoother for the Pair of You

Parenting, for many, is very daunting. Even though they’re excited about what’s going to happen, they worry about the future and how they’re going to be able to handle it all. Even those who have been trying for a baby can lose their minds a little when the time actually comes. The good thing is that parenting is doable for everyone, of course. If it was impossible, then nobody would bother as nobody would have been able to do a good job in the past.




If you want to make life smoother for everyone after you’ve brought a baby into this world, you have to make sure you change up a few things and adopt a few of the right habits. Here are just a few ways you can make parenting life a lot smoother on the mind, body, and soul:

Homemade Fruity Pebble Marshmallow Treats

I can't believe back-to-school season time is already here again. I have been racking my brain and trying to compile lists of all the things that I use to make for my kids for their lunches. Our district had free lunch and breakfast for the last two years, but now I am back to making them again. My kid's do not like school lunches, and I know I can make a better-quality lunch for less at home. But sometimes I do like to throw little treats in their lunch boxes for them.

My friend made these fruity pebble marshmallow treats or rice Krispie treats with fruity pebbles at a party she hosted a few weeks back and they were so good. PLUS, they are only three ingredients and so easy to make that I decided to re-create them. I will say that FRESH marshmallows are the way to go.

Tips To Become a Happier Parent



Parenting can be so stressful sometimes. Even the most loving parents might occasionally question why they took on the responsibility in the first place. Regardless of how you feel about parenting, your emotional state affects your kid's mental wellbeing. Your child can pick up on your anxiety, anger, stress, and bad mood. And this affects them negatively. That's why it's important for you as a parent to maintain a happy and positive mood as much as possible. Fortunately, the following tips can help you do that.

Back to School Essentials for a Successful Year

It is that time of year and I have been thinking about everything my children will need for back to school. If you are like me, then you like to plan ahead. This year, with inflation at a record high, I have been thinking about the essentials without buying what we don't already have on hand. For example, both of my kids have very nice backpacks that have warranties, so I won't be buying new ones this year. I also have a variety of lunch boxes that they can choose from, so again I won't be buying them new ones. And with our school district no longer providing free lunches county wide, that money is allocated towards our grocery budget. But their feet are ever growing, so new shoes will be on the list.
You can think smart while still sending your children off to a successful school year.
