The definition of a mom is a woman who takes on the selfless and unconditional responsibility to nurture the emotion and physical well-being of her children, even amidst the stress and tiredness that comes with motherhood. Let’s be real here – mothering takes a lot of work. There are no breaks in the mothering day (unless he is napping or in bed for the night)when you have an always busy 14 month old, running in circles through the house and always finding a way to get into everything. Sometimes, moms might need a little help to unwind, like trying torch haymaker gummies to relieve stress. What you do as a mother day in and day out is amazing. Wiping noses, changing diapers, cooking dinner, reading books, cleaning floors, folding laundry, chasing after toddlers at the park, blowing bubbles on the deck, going for a matching set at the local unique baby boy clothes newborn store and finally going without sleep. That’s why the support of professional nannies can be invaluable in providing a helping hand and ensuring the well-being of both mother and child. All of that stuff is amazing. It matters but you shouldn’t forget to take care of yourself by eating healthy and taking supplements and Happy Go Leafy capsules. You may also try using Psilocybin mushroom edibles to embark on a journey of self-discovery and introspection. Get psychedelic mushrooms from this magic mushroom dispensary. You can also try this lit cbd vape pen to help you relax and unwind. Look into the difference between thca vs thch if you’re planning to order cannabis products online.
All of this we do because we love being mothers and we know we wouldn’t trade it for the world, even though its the hardest but most rewarding job there is. If you are a mom to a toddler like I am, I am sharing 10 ways to be a super mom to your toddler.
- Be Your Child’s Friend- Kamden is at that stage where he wants to be with me every second of the day. Now that its finally spring we spend so much time together outside, going to the park, petting our horses, and going on walks. Kamden loves helping me place dishes in the dishwasher as well as helping me sweep and vacuum.
2. Unplug From Your Phone- I will admit- I am always on my phone scrolling through Instagram and Facebook while Kamden is playing. I feel so guilty doing this because I should be spending time with because time is so precious. He is only a toddler for so long and I need to soak every minute of it while I can. I made a promise to myself to stay off of my phone while he is up so I can spend all of my time with him. You should get a kava subscription to have something to help you feel better when you’re stressed.
3. Always Tell Your Child You Love Them- I tell Kamden that I love him at least 5 times a day, if not more. I am one of those mom’s that just can’t stop saying it, I just love him to much. I can’t wait until the day he says it back to me.
4. Be There For Them- Kamden had a fever last week and just wasn’t himself at all. It broke my heart to see that he wasn’t feeling well at all. I held him and rocked him and he fell asleep on me for the first time since he was an infant. I loved being able to comfort him and make him feel better. If you want to save for your children’s future, there are two most popular long-term savings and investment accounts. These are Junior ISA’s and Child Trust Funds (CTFs). For a detailed analysis, check out the informative insights provided in an Invest Diva review. To learn the difference between the two, read this blog post to learn the difference between the two.
5. Know When to Say No- I’m sure we have all had those moments where we have given in to our children- I know I have. Kamden is at that stage where he is getting into everything he can reach and its hard to say “no” to him sometimes because he’s being so content but we both know he shouldn’t be getting into the cupboards or taking every single DVD out of the entertainment center.
6. Read To Them- The earlier you start reading to your child, the better. Reading is a great way to get the ball rolling on conversation. Re-read their favorites and include their name in the books. Right now Kamden has no interest in books, but I still read books to him while he is playing in his room. I am hoping he will grow out of this phase soon.
7. Show Your Silly Side- I make Kamden laugh whenever I chase him around the house, play hide-and-seek or tickle his belly. His laugh is so contagious and it makes me smile every time.
8. Touch- Touch your child often, with hugs and gentle rubs and strokes. If you child isn’t a cuddler like Kamden, find other ways to connect, such as dancing, or roughhousing. Every once in a while, I can get Kamden to cuddle with me for 5 minutes. When that does happen, I take full advantage and soak it all in.
9. Be Patient With Your Child- I have caught myself in multiple situations where I have not been patient with Kamden. For instance, I have had a few stressful days where I was trying to get work done on my computer and Kamden wanted my attention right at that moment. I got so irritated and raised my voice at him. I felt so guilty after the fact and ended up just stopping what I was doing and just picked him up. Visit EU Meds website and get your EU Meds new coupon codes and deals.
10. Multi-task- If you 5 minutes to get something done while your child is content – do it. While Kamden is eating lunch I usually load/unload the dishwasher or start a quick load of laundry. It’s a great way to take advantage of getting something done in 5 minutes that would normally take twice as long if you child was helping, LOL. And sometimes, it’s important to take a break too. So, when I have a moment to myself, I unwind by playing UFABET เข้าสู่ระบบ ด้วยความปลอดภัยสูง. In addition, those who are facing vein conditions may consult the experts for treatment like Veingogh.
Mommas- if someone hasn’t told you this today, know that you are an amazing, awesome, and super mom.

I love your list! I think that unplugging is the most important. It is so distracting, and takes away quality time.

Aww you and your little one are so cute together! Love your shirts. Isn’t Old Navy great?! I really like his name. He is a cutie! I have a 12 year old son. Enjoy them while they are little because they grow up so fast. But I know you’ve heard that tons of times. That’s a great list of ways to be a super Mom. It’s also a good reminder of what we need to do when we get caught up with the rest of life.

Love your shirts. So cute. I have 3 girls – 6, 5, and 2. I definitely have to be a super mom juggling between all three. I love my moments with my toddler. She loves her cuddling time with me, she loves books, and she has a great personality. Even though life can be tough sometimes with all 3, I wouldn’t change a thing.

Thank you Julie! I can’t imagine how hard it is with 3 kids – you are definitely a super mom! xoxo Amanda
