Love goes a long way; further than we often realize.
Hey Everyone,
So happy you're here. Parenting is a tremendous job; more rewarding than words can describe, with more challenges than any wise, experienced parent can possibly prepare for.
Having support, someone to lean on, bounce ideas and struggles off of, can make all the difference. It's okay not to have all the answers and to feel overwhelmed.
Love goes a long way; further than we often realize. Don't be afraid to ask for help or to share your difficult day. We've all been there. The sun will come up tomorrow and those little ones will love you still. ❤️
When I find something that helps mamas and dads to simplify their life or give them more time for the stuff that matters; especially if it's environmentally friendly, I want to share it.
I've found that in Cupkin but also so much more. They reprise something we parents all need; support, kindness, encouragement and community.

My top 4 parenting hacks / advice
Hack 1
Enjoy something about every single day with your children. They really do grow up in the blink of an eye.
Hack 2
Keep a journal of silly little memories. Our family has an entire language created from silly things that happened, the cute way one of the kids said something and fun times we experienced together.
Hack 3
Play outside everyday. It really does make all the difference in their physical and mental health and it impacts positively the person they become.
Hack 4
Read to your children, even once they can read to themselves. It creates beautiful memories, but it also invites you into the world of their imagination and makes them feel safe expressing it in front of you.
